1.3mb Update takes 25min on Steam?
|
I dont know if its GGG's or Steam's fault .. but PoE is basically the only game where I have these freaking slow downloads for updates. Any solutions to this?

Hi!
Same here. No problems with updates of other games, but PoE needs nearly half an hour for 1.3mb. Would be awesome if someone could provide any advice how to speed this up. Ty! Cheers, K. Exploring the new Path of Leech

Same, been sitting here a while now waiting for a 1.3mb install to finish on the steam client

Same here... PoE updates (not only this one - all of them) take ridiculous amount of time, 1GB updating 30 minutes on 100Mbps broadband and half-empty NVMe SSD :/
Other Steam games download AND install 10 GB in like 15 minutes... Often I just end up playing something else, because I don't like to waste time waiting half an hour for an update... Last edited by Telvas#7035 on Dec 16, 2019, 3:05:56 AM

I have a similar issue, everytime i need to download a patch stean starts reserving disc space, i got 50gb free discpsace right now and need to download a 1.3 mb patch, steam reserves EVERY little bit of my diskspace everytime that i have to download a patch for POE, this shit can actually cash my pc and maybe even damage my hardware if im correct, so please fix this already ?
also i never had problem with the GGG launcher, its just when playing with steam Last edited by leysin#3912 on Dec 16, 2019, 3:37:54 AM

Steam makes a backup of the "to be patched" files before every patch. Which means its copying the whole .ggpk (~ 30 gb) and that takes time.
Having an SSD sure helps with this, but switching to the standalone client solves this "problem" completely. |

Had a similar issue. Took me 30 minutes at 20mb/s SSD read/write to do a 1.3MB update. Is it re-validating the entire game cache on every update? Surely this is ridiculous? Can we get a response from GGG? I am able to update MUCH larger games in a fraction of the time. Dota 2 can easily pull down a 500mb update and it'll be done in 5 mins. 7 Days to Die can pull down a 1.2Gb update in approx 15 minutes. I CAN'T believe it's a technical impossibility to have updates work as intended? Also, why only now? I've been playing POE for years and only now is this a problem for me.

One thing I hate about GGG is that they never give out information unless you force it out.
