I’ve been struggling with really long update times for this game. The latest patch took over two hours to install and it’s still running! I have it on an SSD and I don’t experience this issue with other games. For instance, I installed DOOM: The Dark Ages recently, which is 67GB, and it took only an hour. Is there something odd about how this patch works? Or is the game just poorly optimized for updates? I really want to enjoy this game, but I can’t when it takes forever for a single patch to install. Can anyone shed some light on this situation?

Man, I feel your pain! I waited for 10 hours once. It started off with 5 hours until it said it couldn’t find the files and I had to restart. It’s honestly so frustrating! I’m still waiting on it to finish.
I hit a “Not enough disk space” error when I tried to patch. I had about 60GB free, but it needed more. I ended up clearing 50GB just to get it to work, and even then it filled up my disk space during the patching process.
I’ve found that reinstalling the game can sometimes speed up the update process significantly. It worked for me instead of just applying the patch! Give it a shot if you’re up for it.
Have you tried reaching out to the support team? I’ve heard they’re really responsive and can help sort out these issues. It might be worth a try!
Yeah, I reached out once and they got back to me within a day. Super helpful!
