38 minutes on Allocating Space (NON-Steam client)

Posting this as it should have nothing to do with downloading the patch. Everything that I can find has this pointed towards a Steam Update issue. I am not using steam.

Advice please.

Thanks,

this usually takes me well over an hour,like right now is been going for almost an hour and not even half way done yet (not using steam)
2 hours + for 40%
had around 10 min allocate with steam
my download rate is around 500kb
spikes to 3mb and lags from 0 to 30kb

i guess first ppl are in act2 already FML FUA
damn well I will consider myself somewhat lucky... I hate to year your position after an hour.


54 minutes into it and I am here:

get rid of windows defender and payday2,
and defrag your system yesterday

edit: mostly downloading around 400kb, spikes to the down every 5 second, spikes to the up every 1 minute i stay for longer than 3 second over 1 mb

Hey,

Because the update is rather substantial, the 'Checking Resources' or 'Allocating Space' portion of the install/update can take awhile. This part of the installation process relies on your PC Memory and HDD/SSD performance.
The best thing you can do here, is make sure your anti-virus software isn't slowing it down and to ensure the client is running with administrative rights.

Patch serve issues from the start.. then an 1hr 32 minutes allocating disk space.... games up and i'm not even half way thru the download!
Download time is horrible 2-500kb with occasional jump to 2MB. I get better download speed from North-Korea jeez.

I should have have any issues Checking resources or allocating space. Client/installer is running under admin and Virus scan or firewall is not interfering.

I am almost done but man this is horrible.

This is 1 hour and 9 minutes:

welcome to the club of this indie game fans, over 60 mins and still allocating
