This game took all day and only got me this percent, now it's down to this even after constant resetting. Time to wait 1 year

Invest in starlink if you can. Game changer

u/YeetingMyStupidLife 2d ago
I dont understand why you are getting downvoted lol. Elon haters ? Starlink is good

u/Ajpeterson 0-60: Failed 2d ago
There are a lot of people who are unable to differentiate between hating Elon musk and hating anything he has something to do with. For example the Tesla model 3 is objectively a good car. I donāt like Elon but that doesnāt mean that I hate STARLINK/Tesla/SpaceX/The Boring Company/etc. I do think changing twitter to X and then being upset when people still call it twitter is dumb. Everyone still calls the Willis tower in Chicago the sears tower. Itās been since 2009 when they changed the name and nobody gives a shit.

u/YeetingMyStupidLife 2d ago
Actually though... Spacex is in my opinion one of the best companies to grace humanity ( atleast for the time being ) and yet people say shit abt them just because its owned by elon. Its like saying porsche makes shitty cars just because your old vw jetta caught fire because you messed with the wiring

My brother was downloading fh4 yesterday with starlink as my parents live out in the country. It took about 2.5-3 hours for a 75gb download on WiFi. Not terrible but it not as quick as fiber either.
2
u/hatlad43 1d ago
That's about 60 megabits per second, pretty bad actually for Starlink. We have one at our (small) office and the bandwidth is between 100-180 mbps.
And tbh, faster than any fiber optic connection in my country, at least for residential rate, all of them top out at 100 mbps while being more expensive than Starlink.
2
u/IndependentMobile586 1d ago
My fiber optic at my apartment is at 500mbps up and 500mbps down consistently. I could go up to a gig if I paid 15 more a month I think. That same download would have probably been about 20 min for me on my pc
My parents recently got Star link as they moved in May of this year. They said that it works better in some areas more than others, seemed kinda like a if there were others around it was better? But overall they donāt complain too much about WiFi, as long as it goes itās okay for them.
Another dumb thing that happened was they got involved in an ip ban wave that took them off the grid for a few days completely. They had to argue w support they were not bad guys and just some homeowners lmao.

By that time the current one he's downloading might be good after it's final updates (unless it's Motorsport "8" and the last update is already closing down the servers and making the game unplayable)

Pls don't downvote me I wonder how it is possible in 2024 to have such a bad internet? where do you live? what is your subscription?
3
u/Wooden_Baseball_4216 1d ago
It because of my extender, I'm far away so it goes really bad and then can go up to 50
2
u/Quicoulol 1d ago
We are probably not in the same country but my wifi extender does not decrease the quality of my network I always have at least 3-4 GB/s and it was given for free with my subscription

Could this be a disk issue? This happens to me too although not to this slow speed but still when my disk can't keep up with the download it will slow down like this.

u/RodSk8Dude 2d ago
On my brothers PC it actually downloaded FASTER if you limited the speed. I think not long after that the hard drive stopped working.

Dumb suggestion but - Is it maybe more financially viable to you to get an unlimited mobile plan and then share that connection with your PC? It would be faster for sure.

Yes, those are directions to improve your download speeds from Ms store/Xbox app. Worked wonders for me.

Alright, my father spent 2 hours last night trying to fix it for me. He got it to fluctuate from 12 to 30mb a second

I went from 12 to 80+ reliably with this.

Alright, it's going ok right now and I don't want to mess things up but I'll try it if it goes down.

I know how you feel. In 2018 my dad had not upgraded his internet in years and had maybe 500kb/s. I pre ordered rdr 2 the day before and tried downloading for release day, took nearly 4 days for it to finish.

u/Inevitable-Row5702 2d ago
It's because of all the people who got videogames for Christmas. They are overloading the servers making it take longer to download. I miss the days when you didn't have to download a game to play it.

You might have to think outside the box for this one. I used to sneak my xbox into my work. What i did was make my homes wifi network have the same name and password as my works network. So that way, all I had to do was plug it in, the Xbox sees the same wifi name its used to and downloads pick up.

u/JulianRob37 2d ago
The first thing I did when I moved out of my house is splurged on super fast internet. Being able to install a game this size in 15 minutes makes having less storage more feasible, online games no longer lag, having other devices doesnāt slow it down, so unbelievably worth the added cost.

If you have unlimited data and 5g mobile, try tethering your computer to it.

Nah just my Internet is very funky due to my extender, I might need to get a new one or fix my drivers

u/IndependentMobile586 1d ago
I had an issue where my internet would cycle on and off every 3-4 seconds. You could see it in the download graphs. It would go and then there would be a gap.
I thought it was my drives but it ended up being a faulty router from my isp. they changed it out when I moved and it went back to normal
