Nicholas 5 Posted September 28, 2012 Your not the only person downloading the game... The server hosting the download is probably getting swamped now right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tontow 1 Posted September 28, 2012 Change your DL location in the dropdown. I got nearly 1.5 mbps down on the cal 2 one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilc1 10 Posted September 28, 2012 Yeah I am getting much better speeds from the CA one, despite being in the UK. Also, if you change download location, it seems to restart the download. Gotta do better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Appogee 1 Posted September 28, 2012 Europe was agonising slow. California came through for me though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparks50 0 Posted September 28, 2012 I really do wish we could have some sort of preload mechanic on Sprocket/BI store. Downloading 3 gigabytes at 180 kB/s is not a good launch experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted September 28, 2012 I never thought I'd say this, but thank fuck for Steam. :D On a more serious note, this happens with Sprocket pretty much every time there's a new release, so BIS really need to step their game in that respect. The one mostly positive Sprocket release I can remember is Take On Helicopters, and even there it didn't quite manage to max out my bandwidth. I really hope they do better with Arma3 and DayZ.

Dwarden 1125 Posted September 28, 2012 MadDogX there are several mirrors for Sprocket ... some might be more overloaded than others ... also these mirrors are 1+GBit each ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tortuosit 486 Posted September 29, 2012 I was downloading very soon after release from DK, ranging from 700 to 200 kbps in the end. But for obvious reasons whining is inappropriate here. @Threadstarter: Welcome to the Internet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
