it could take a VERY long time for every update to download. Start the download and go do something for an hour or so.

so it will load in eventually i updated the primal update but the game still not working with me is it going to be like this every time i try to play that it has to update each server i try to join

i mean it keeps loading in PrimalGameData_BP_PrimitivePlus

It will if the mod's are different and/or an update to the mods. But once the core of everything is downloaded it shouldn't be too bad.

so should i get refund for it or not i got like 30 mins left (i trying official server)

It took a couple hours for the update to download last night for me and I have 60bps downloads. May be slower based on your internet speeds. But Mods also have to match on the server to your local box, this sometimes is a pain.

mine is a laptop new but not the fastes download speed ranges from 4mbs-12mbs normally

That is very slow for downloading the game. And if you are using wireless it is even worse.

it is enough to play games like payday2 without any sort of problems idk y it downloads so slow for me i can check my processor or whatever that stuff is let me know how and i will

This game takes a lot of everything. Internet speed is also important because the client and server are constantly talking with one another on things. So good luck.

task manager says it runs game at 60% cpu memory at 1700mb and disc ranges from 2-16mbs 16 makes disc say 99%

I highly suspect your comp cant handle the game. It is an extrememly RAM hungry and graphics card thirsty game. Attempting to compare it to payday2 is pointless.

Also you're download issue for the game: on the day of a major update and during the second highest sale period makes since, even without factoring your connectivity to the internet otherwise.

Since they did a deep discount on this to mitigate conan exiles launch in jan/feb with the same pricing almost and now to coincide with this update, I would say that the likelihood that future large update points or summer sales or the like will mirror the current prices(or better).

I also think that they're planning to have another paid dlc later too which would prompt them to drop prices more yet again. Dont worry though if they do a paid dlc at a high price. Last time they did that with scorched earth within days mod makers had work arounds(mods adding the dinos and crafting mats or mod made maps including everything from scorched earth map plus the other maps stuffs etc.

Official servers and the core regular game are not where the majority of players play. Modded unofficial servers number 19,000+ to the official hundreds of em and in many cases with much better administration there of(though there are certainly some real duds with abusive admins out there too.) So when you do get your gaming desktop comp (and make sure you dont skimp on hardware as warned with what this game chews on above), avoid official servers and vette your unofficial servers accordingly.
