SpaceMonkeh Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 This is almost 9 hours into the download. 10GB with a boxcopy? WTF am i buying a boxcopy for then? Connection to download server gets interrupted every other second and never reaches over 100 kbps for the final 5GB This already feels like wasted money and i haven't even played the game yet.

Bolcksta Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 You're not alone, a lot of people have met this issue and have made it through, trust me the game is completely worth it, just be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A box...This isn't 2004 anymore, no physical games come without extra downloading required That is the most rediculous answer ever, do you even know what you're saying? Not a single game has a 10GB download "requirement" without there being any patches. Hell, even with patches it wouldn't even be this big.

Costar Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 It is confusing as to why ppl are having to dld a 5GB "patch"?? I've never seen a game yet where I've had to dld a patch that was that big, especially like the same day its in your hands.... but then seeing the game is just over 60GB... Maybe its good I don't have a copy yet since my PC is too old to run it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not 5GB for me, it's 10GB So obviously Rockstar fails at delivering here, either with missing or corrupt files on the discs wich makes it download a huge chunk of the game again.

Thalyn Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) No need to create another thread about that.Let's go here to have some solutions (from page 10): 5gb patch required for physical copy ! Is it real ? If you really have 10Gb to download, this means your DVDs installation isn't good. At the beginning, Social club check the installation folder. If there are some corrupted or missing files, then Social club download them.In fact, there are a patch of 5gb and an update of 360Mb (with GTAV.exe, GTAV_launcher.exe etc...), that's all.But 5Gb or 10gb... it change anything.... Rockstar's servers are totally f*cked up.Then, the thread "5gb patch required...." explain how download the files faster.

Theres a reason everything has gone digital... They're complaining about the "digital" portion of the install (you know, the 5gb download?) How exactly would making you download 60gb+ be better than a 5gb patch + DVDs? Digital has its downsides too, and it certainly is not for everyone.

bean123123 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I think some pre Warning of a Big Patch would of been nice. 1-2GB seems to of been the norm but 5GB is quite alot. Smale45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a reason everything has gone digital... huh? ignorant much? ever heard of people that have poor internet speeds because of the location they live in, or data caps? for example even tho i downloaded the game in like 2-3 hours, i have a 250gb download/upload limit each moth, after which additional data cost A LOT of money. Now after getting this game i need to go easy on media streaming services, so i wouldn't go over the monthly limit. Naroon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
