✭Are you verifying files?

✭✭✭✭✭Wow. That's seriously slow. I got the download this morning (southwest US, but I only have satellite for connection), and it took less than 5 minutes.... including applying the patch....______________________________________________________

UnionJill1✭✭I am having the same issues. I am on the download, not verifying files. My internet connection is fine, 1gig. Im downloading between 5 kb/s to 50 kb/s, keeps fluctuating.
I was able to download and patch another game while this one was still limping along. The other game was a bigger file than this one.0 -
Downloaded and installed the game from the Steam Launcher but ran into the same issue with the patching server. GB internet and KB patch speed.0

✭✭✭Well, that's odd. Took less than a minute for me earlier this day (for pc eu, consoles were still in maintenance mode).
Maybe they just rerouted all available resources (including the patch servers) for the Cyro population test for better documentation of the ridiculous lagfest over there.
Nah, just kidding...Never get between a cat and it's candy!

Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.0 -

afkpro✭✭✭i had this the last hour. game was updating so i went to browse the internet. by the time i was done, i assumed the update would be done too but it was far from being done.
the past 15 minutes or so i was restarting the launcher several times until it just fixed itself. maybe zos fixed something idk, but it should be working smooth now. it did at least for me.0 -
I was having terrible downloads for the small patch as well. Running a Gigabit connection and was getting like 5KB. I tried running all apps as admin, did not work. Flushed DNS did not work.
I figured it was an issue with their servers. Seems NA in particular. Used my VPN and connected to a server in London and boom, patch was done.
VPN might just do the trick to bounce you to a better server.PC: CoolerMaster H500M | Asus ROG Strix Z790-E | Intel i9-13900K | MSI 7900XTX | 32GB Corsair Dominator | EVGA Supernova 1000W G+ | Timespy Score 27662

Tallon_IV✭✭✭The download servers are pretty embarrassing and always have been. I just had to reinstall the other day and it took about an hour with gigabit internet.PC NA0 -
It did the same thing for me that other people are describing where it was super slow for a long time then it downloaded the last 70 percent in a few seconds. I thought it was absurd that I downloaded and installed the game from the steam launcher before a 100 mb patch completed.0

Smerchy✭✭✭Was thinking to go back to ESO, but I guess this is a sign... Will go back to playing Baldurs Gate 3.
Now 2 days patcher speed is low KB/S, back to dial up days... The main website is also loading really slow.

ZOS_HadeostrymodGreetings,
After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's about download speeds.
Thank you for your understanding
