Download game client comically slow


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just bought and DL'd IL-2. That is, first downloaded the installer IL2_setup_BoS.exe , which came in at regular broadband speed.

 

Installed that. But then there is apparently a "Downloading game client" step, a 6.64 GB file, which is at the moment downloading at a speed of about 1.5 megabytes per second.

 

Is this "normal" in this place ???

Im pulling a whopping 300kB/s during my reinstall.  East Coast 100meg cable.

my download eventually finished, and haven't seem a similar weirdness so far, but I also have mostly done offline flying, so I guess that's not saying much.

Did you have "Prefer Web distribution" ticked under the Settings tab in the Launcher? That makes a big difference when I reinstall.

I did check that, but after the dl had already started. maybe that was too late.

For me it dosen't matter if that 'prefer web distribution' is ticked or not.  Measuring in kb....  This is a special ed speed.  Come on guys...  Guess I'll be in some time 3rdQ of 2018.

Geez same here, first download just fine. Installer down 142 KBS.  Just did a dsl speed test and I'm at 42.1 mbps.  It's going to take all night!
