anonym_h2Ic9hemWnIb Players 1 post Report post #1 Posted May 16, 2020 Why are the updates so blooming big, and take ages to download? I have 100Mbs fibre broadband and the update of 2.3Gb took almost 20mins. Surely the whole software hasn't been updated, can this not be completed in a modular fashion? 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yes, with a 50+ GB client, a 2.3 GB update is only a small part. at least 6 ships were added during the update. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want those "ships", can I deselect that part of the update please? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to exclusively meet historical ships in battle. But I make a concession: WG may replace the paperbias with rubber ducky models in my client - that would be as historically accurate as the sikrit projekts, after all. If subs (or what WG calls subs) get a separate game mode, why not also making a historical mode? Pretty easy to do. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the Wargaming Centre, under Updates you can choose to block or just throttle Uploads, that helps as uploading at 100% massively hurts Downloading speeds. 2. My downloads were being throttled by a recent change to my Anti-Virus which was trying to scan the update as it D/L'd (always 'On' scan) so I gave the "World of Warships" folder an exemption and it's now fast again.

After the download the launcher.exe has to open (unzip) these revelant packages one-by-one , add/modify/remove information within these package and then has to zip it again into such an big package file. This is why the updates takes so long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
