downloading issue

[♛卂₦Ҝ卄♛]

hello everyone, im facing an issue in downloading Neverwinter. as we know its about 7GB and thats no small game! i downloaded many big games on steam and all of em had the chance to pause, but not neverwinter, it actually takes me to another page and there is the choice to cancel or to wait the whole time.. in my country the internet is slow, and the estimated time to install is 22 hours.. all i can give the game is continuable 12hours only, after that the electicity shuts down.. and there are 10 hours more to go... someone already asked but got no answers for this question: can i pause the download? is there a way to fix this?

NWO is around 15GB, not just those 7GB... check the NWO game launcher options, it should show that
on-demand patching
is enabled, which means that you will download the rest of the game while you're playing it.

That might be fine with a fast internet connection, but it might also cause problems in game, when you try to run a dungeon or skirmish, and the game has to download the data for it first...

And you can of course start downloading the game, take a break, and then continue to download the game.

Anyway, it's better to disable on-demand patching, then just download/update the game fully and play with a lot less troubles.

Thank you for replying, but i was browsing steam, rpg, free to play MMORPG, and i found the game ive been dreaming to get: LOTRO... Now im gonna ask for you advice.. Which one? LOTRO Has the advantage though

Well, LotRo is working as F2P too, but the game data of LotRo is between 20-30 GB...

okay so, talking about how to download neverwinter... i honostly didnt catch u... is there a site? or a steam-y way? pausing? forgive me if u have to repeat anything.. thanks for your help.. this is the only game, since i only passed by max of 4 games on steam :p that doesnt download on steam----> no pausing, and u were saying something about on-demand.... i beg u please to enlighten me further and to show me how U downloaded the game..

First, just download the game through Steam.
Second, start Neverwinter Online, the NWO game launcher will show up, and in the options you can disable "on-demand patching".
Third, just download and update/patch the rest of the game fully.

When you're done with that, you go again into the options of the NWO game launcher and activate "force verify", that will check your downloaded game data for errors.

And when you're through with that, hit play and do nothing until the game reaches the character creation screen on its own.

Again, you don't have to download the game all at once, you can close the game launcher and Steam, and pick up the download from where you left it later.

The same goes for many other MMOs out there. You download a part through Steam, and get the rest and update/patches through the actual game launcher.

LotRo has a game launcher too, and after downloading the game data through Steam, you have to update/patch the game after it, and you can pause the download and continue it later too.
