Going on 25 minutes now, this is the longest redist package I've ever had by a good 22 minutes.

my assumption is that this game's popularity is destroying the server that we download the Redist files from, thus we are all downloading it very slowly...

I'm hoping that's all it is. Why aren't these part of the installs themselves?

Joafu,

Because they are Microsofts 2015 C++ files, and Microsoft updates them and makes them more efficient... So packaging it all together is overall a bad idea being as the download will "normally" only take a minute or 2, and that is worth having it up to date.

They should be part of the download package, hence the name "redistributable". But who knows these days.

If you look at the download section it will show you the progress bar.

Lord de Seis,

Am I sure? No... But Steam has a system for delevering these, and its the better way to do it...
