Content Write Error - Cannot download PTS

I have 12% downloaded in 24 hours, so you can work out how long that is going to take. Downside of living in rural areas I guess.
So count yourselves lucky that it's in hours rather than a week.
It's the fact that it's not actually downloading at all ...
Not to mention the write errors... did you even read the post?
There are a massive number of posts spread out over 7 pages, all citing different problems. A lot of which are just saying it's slow.
So no need to be rude.

✭✭Well, I was optimistic for awhile as it started to re-download everything. This time instead of getting the "Content write failed" message at 24% I got it at 14%.
2 days of trying...and no luck. And here I was looking forward to being a newbie beta tester.

@Aurelle1
Its mostly the exact same issue being described differently to be honest. No need for any of us to be rude, I agree but often some replies cause that.
Issues are the download will only reach 24% and then start over regardless of your other situations.
Things that aren't an issue = speed
Other stuff = people are expressing frustrations and lack of replies or updates from the ZOS staff but as a result of this, many want to be part of the conversation.Edited by NewBlacksmurf on April 18, 2018 2:52PM-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

Night_Watch✭✭✭This is bloomin' rediculous! Very early this morning finally had complete DL of PTS. On trying to launch PTS game it immediately crashed with an audible ping and the crash report type window. I tried several times to launch PTS game but had same result each time (including after restarts).
NOW; after several hours with computer switched off I tried to launch PTS only for it to crash again. There was no re-download or message to that effect so I thought to do a repair. The repair went through the steps it does with progress bar moving up and down as would be expected then started to re-download entire PTS. To be clear: this is not the file verification stage but a complete re-download.
Wow! I mean just WOW! It's as if ZOS really do'nt want feedback. Launcher at 1% with 58xxx MB remaining at 1.4x MB/s. Got to be looking at a further 4 - 8 hours or longer for this redo.
It's little wonder so many people get mad at ZOS. Goodness knows how bad it's going to be when Summerset goes live and we have the related download.
Minor edits for corrections.

I understand your frustration, as do most people in this thread. However, you gotta have some perspective. Isn't it better that this happen on PTS and they fix it before it goes live? ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

You don't have to download anything for this, it just automagically appears and should fix the problem.0 -

So far....I just restarted meaning CPU was off.
Turned it on, waited and then opened the launcher that started the PTS "download"
-Its verifying 58k MB first just as before....but I'll let it continue
-.....TBD...
Update:
-at 29% now actually download at 156.79 MB/s
I'd say it is "fixed"

Perspective? Come on. We all know that problems with DL can happen and that ZOS do try to put things right but this is, as I wrote, rediculous. Many more hours to download than expected, constant file errors, launcher restarting entire download and repair simply not working. And I need perspective! Further to this, the idea that it's better problems happen now and they fix it before going live is just silly. ZOS may well fix the PTS download but then the live download will, more than likely, have it's own problems.
Perspective! Nice way to talk down to someone.

Not talking down to you at all. Not everything everyone says is a personal attack against you. I was simply reminding you that not everything will always go smoothly and that we would all rather it mess up now than later. Calm down, lol.
