Worst update download rate in gaming history

[Controller-Man-Dan]

i don't know what the hell this games issue is ive played thousands of games in my life time updated them all and never in my gaming history have i ever seen a game take so long to update like wtf is going on? game is on nvme i have good download speeds i can download 80gb game in 2hrs but a 11gb update its taking 37hrs like wtf every time this game updates it takes forever. Even know game is installed on NVME when this game updates it pins my HDD to 100% which i dont understand as game isnt on it and never has been soon as game done updating HDD goes to normal

Well good news, the update isn't worth it lol

honestly i thought i was the only one with this problem. i have to uninstall and reinstall every time theres an update because its faster lmao

same here. has been like this for me for awhile. literally the only game in my library that does it.

i just tested and i can download a 1 gig game in less than 5 minutes. this game? it is stuck at 1.2mb download speed and the patching is horrifically slow

if update big = steam select big space drive to patch.
big space drive =/= fast drive.
steam not smart.
do things as written to make steam use fast drive.
now you smart.

then it's probably tied to the order you added your drives as steam library folders.
the instruction may look confusing, but it really is very simple to follow. just give it a try.
i also had no idea what i was doing and nonetheless did it on first try in less than 3 minutes.

i think i can agree with the people above talking about harddrives, i have a sata ssd and nvme, got the game installed on the 4TB sata and having no issues

so yes, people above are right

Some game takes time to update. Worst is Dead By Daylight.

that is bs. there is not even a staging folder in the file. i tried adding it and it instantly removes it

edit: if the game is installed on the drive that is marked as default inside steam already, no staging folder is listed in the file.
