volvodriver Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Hello all, Long time reader, first time poster. Just curious how long the PG update has taken to apply for ppl in different areas. I live in the UAE (naturally very excited for PG map) and I've just clocked over 6.5 hours and still going. 1) Game update 2) Map download and update 3) Another 10gb download I wasn't expecting (it also strangely went over the size of the download - see attachement) I did the normal GUI method for update (no command lines etc.) Long time but I'm sure it'll be worth it. Hoping to still play tonight after update finishes but it is getting a bit late for old ppl like me. Either way first up is landing the Mi-8 on the helipad of the Burj Al Arab Edited May 23, 2018 by volvodriver Adding attachment http://volvodriver.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fercyful Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Still downloading here (+4 hours 92%) now 400 kb/s down (Steam titles 13 MB/sec) Sad they don't implement better distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom453 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Still going on the DCS update (DCS 2.5.2.17559 Open Beta) after eight hours here in Australia and only getting ~70 KB/s download. I'm actually uploading faster! Haven't even got to the Persian Gulf map download yet. Very disappointing once again. Have reported it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volvodriver Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Interesting responses, some of you have had nothing buy joy. After 9 hours of various stages of updates I get the message attached, second attachment is from the log file. I then start DCS in some vain hope that the update has applied however am prompted yet again to download the entire PG DLC again. I am now going through another download (which is excruciatingly slow) that says 0% out of 3570.5 MB, yet another new number. Based on the last attachment where it was 24gb of 10gb I can only guess how much this will download. Not exactly impressed. My optimism is fading.

hansangb Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) It's really BW and # of torrent user dependent. I do have a gigabit service (up and down from FiOS) and tend to reach those numbers for the most part. When I updated about 2 hours ago, it took about 15-20 min for the OpenBeta update, then another 20 min(?) for the map download. I wasn't exactly stopwatching it, but the times are about right. PS: I did peak at about 70MBytes/sec and in the first 1/2 of the download. Then slowed down considerably when I got to about 95% of the download. It then dropped to 20KB/sec or so.

Speedbrake Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Update Time The update took longer - about 2.5-3.0 hours. The Persian Gulf Map took a little less. Lots of folks on Torrent! Setup and flew an area checkout.....wow! Really going to enjoy this when the Hornet is released next week. Until then, me and my Harrier will create mayhem!

Alicatt Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) With fiber, it took me about 20 minutes. A little longer for me, still less than an hour though for both the update and the terrain download and installation, it was a slow download at the start but towards the end it was getting faster topping out at around 12MB/s Edited May 23, 2018 by Alicatt typo Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boscoh Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 About an hour and a half. Despite 1gig connection I never got above 30MBps. The annoying part was the need to run the DCS_updater on its own to update the game first. Otherwise I'd get a "persiangulf_terrain not available" error when using the module manager. That meant a manual process to update the game (~7GB) then another interaction required to get PG from module manager. It should have been a seamless, one click process. Since I got it this morning I've been seeding it all day on my gig connection. I think a big issue with speed is the updater only seeds while you download. The updater needs an option to keep it open and seeding until you close it. 3800X, X570, 32GB 3600, RTX 2080Ti, SSD, Odyssey+ VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom453 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I only have an ADSL 2+ connection. The DCS 2.5.2.17559 update at ~9.4 GB took 9 hours with the latter part of that D/L as slow as 70 KB/s. By contrast, the Persian Gulf map download at 13.4 GB took just four hours!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
