Once Human

Too slow download speed.
(I'm using machine translation.)
It's very fast when downloading games from Steam. I'm on the internet at 1GBps, so even large games are downloaded in under 10 minutes.
But why is this game so slow to download in-game? It only takes two hours to get 8.9GB of patch data. It's not a fleeting issue. I even had to reinstall it after the patch because of an infinite loading error, and I had to wait for another two hours.
I'm not the only one with this phenomenon. There are a lot of people in the community who experience the same symptoms as me. Steam downloads are fast just like me, but in-game patches are very slow. Someone please tell me a solution.

Same issue here, except that I've been downloading since about 6:00pm[CST] yesterday. So almost 16 hours and I'm only at now at 57% complete... WTF?!!
Being brought back to my childhood days of dial-up internet frustration is not the nostalgia I was looking for.

4 minutes for the update her one hour ago. So no problem.

Installed the game yesterday. I was first stuck on 'checking patch file difference'. Today I've had the issue with 'downloading patch'. Been downloading several hours and still only 20%. Haven't found any help online.

The same problem, the internal download of the patch is very slow

There is no fix for this.
All the solutions are temp. If you get this bug, and solve it, it will just come right back and using the same strat does nothing. Just switch to a new game. This issue isn't new and no one is getting any help, just a bunch of random "try this" strats that follow no rhyme or reason as to whether they work or not.
Sorry about your luck

Ok so i found the solution. You need to change to google DNS. go network adapters properties for your itnernet adapter. uncheck IPV6 and double click IPV4 change DNS server to 8.8.8.8 alternate DNS to 8.8.4.4 save and open CMD as admin. type "ipconfig /flushdns"

done youre good to go download the patch and change everithing back.

Not a fix! Continues to happen even using diff network settings & flushdns. Not a viable solution!

It personally took me 15hrs to download the 8.9GB patch. 🤯

Please, STOP GB DownLoad Spamm! Last patch 7,7 GB = bugged. This one is 8,1 GB. If bugged, then next will be 11 GB? Noone fixpatch can be 8,1 GB! I need here 4 Hours, to download Your "FixPatch" O-MA-GAD! Stop doing this! You creat this game to, patch download game. More downloads then playing.

Same for me, but STEAM does have have a few like this (World of Warships for one) that work patches & downloads quite differently (& quickly) on their own websites. Anyhoo', got thru all this & that (the merge was the real pita), yet at login, game still had to check files & patch some more (tickTickTICK), then take another 10-15 minutes of loading on top ot it all to enter server...blahBlahBLAH...I truly must hate meself. :steammocking:
