It makes no difference.
In fact it'd probably result it in being bigger due to having 4 times as much installer data.
Eg this download is say 1000mb
Even if they split it in 4 your gonna have 4 250mb downloads, so not gonna be any faster, plus with added installer data they prob be little over 250mb so u end up with like 1001mb total
There's nearly always epic slow downloads for pc versions on launch day due to servers being busy.
So you are saying that's probably why the download isn't starting for most? And why the downloads for the other games are working, because everyone is trying for JP?
Yes. The JP file is in heavy demand, therefore it will have slow download speeds and possible issues with even initiating the download.
No. I'm in the uk too, its just sheer luck of the draw; be PATIENT you will get the bandwidth eventually and it'll shoot through to 100% If its REALLY annoying you go to bed and it'll be fine in the morning.
You may be right about that, cause the other games download fast with no problem. And yes JP is very much in demand.....lol. What you said does make alot of sense. Thanks:D
I have a dl speed of 100mgb min and so far im on 61mg in 1hr 30 mins
But this? Really? This is what happens every freaking time. Even the biggest blockbuster titles like Call of Duty, Skyrim etc. They even have slow DL speeds, even through Steam. So to demand that a smaller company like TTG to go out and spent a huge amount of cash (Yup, buying extra server bandwith etc. isnt cheap at all!) to make it easier for you to download the game the first few hours of release? Yeah, not gonna happen. And it doesnt matter how fast your bandwith is. The download speeds will always cap on what the highest speed is from the individual server. When i had i think 88 mb/s download, my download speed capped at 2.5 from Steam.
This is how the internet works in the 21 century, not happy with that? Go hibernate yourself until we enter a new century.
And you saying that all the kids are gonna wake up in the UK soon and spam TTG's servers? Most of those kids dont even know what Jurassic Park is, this isnt exactly the most kid friendly game. Even thought it sure is a masterpiece, if you see through fingers with the sounds errors i run into now and then.
So there is only one thing to do here. Sit down, relax and hold on to your butts!
I actually wonder how the game could be so big (for a TTG game, that is). The problem with former individual, standalone episodes was always that every time a new episode was released for a certain franchise, you would essentially re-download a lot of the Season's recurring code, textures, environments, sound effects, music or what have you, and eventually end up with the same data stored in five places on your PC for a complete season. I had hoped that this would be different with a single game release, but I assume that the individual episodes are still intact and "unmerged".
I hope you can get the download problem under control. In any case, download speeds should be better today as the initial release crisis is over.
If you want textures that don't look like pixel art (and this game actually has rather good looking textures, I was surprised), and full voice acting instead of text dialog, then you need to just deal with gigabytes instead of megabytes. It's 2011, and people demand both of those things now.
So you've got several options for getting this game. You can either wait until off peak hours, wait a day or two, deal with the speeds, or wait for physical media. It's just a game, chill out.
Caps are coming back in a big way. Many countries never got rid of them, some of them are bringing them back. Several ISPs in the United States, for example, have introduced caps in the past few years.
Yes it does exist. Which makes the size of current games and digital distribution a real problem for many. Try downloading RAGEs 25GB with a 1GB per month cap.
Bur please don't be mad at me, if you try it and it's slow again.
