Re: Why is updating so slow?

It depends what else is running (background programs count too). My buddy has discord, game controller drivers, screen recording stuff, etc etc running on his machine ALL THE TIME and it slows down everything he does. Load times, update times, etc. Dunno if that might be a thing for you. My buddy i...

Re: Why is updating so slow?

That patching is more CPU bound than storage speed bound. However, an hour is incredible slow. Have you watched the patching steps in Steam, sometimes the downloads get corrupted and the whole process has to start again. That might explain it. My cpu shouldn't really be an issue though, being an I5...

Re: Why is updating so slow?

Sounds like its just your pc/connection. My downloads have never taken an hr. 5 mins tops for me at 505 mbps download/517 upload. Check your download speeds with your internet service. Please read the OP. I said the download is fine. It's the patching process that's the problem. Patching takes over...

Wouldn't that affect installing the game as well. And it would affect other games also?

Why is updating so slow?

So I've notice recently that updating both this and ets2 have become excruciatingly slow. Installed on an SSD, the patch downloads fine, but the patch process takes an hour or more. It is literally (no exaggeration, I do mean literally) faster to uninstall the game and reinstall it.

WHY?

There be some logic there somewhere. Though it's location escapes me.

Re: Update mandatory travel

Alright... one last try... You do not have to drive back to the garage where the trailer is returned to (and I agree, having the trailer disconnected and sent back to any garage without you is a tad annoying, and probably shouldn't happen). You can relocate the trailer to the garage in the same cit...

Re: Update mandatory travel

The problem ISN'T where you can go with your truck. The problem is that it detaches your trailer and sends it back to the garage, even if you choose to STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE. Effectively it means if you want to keep using your trailer, you MUST travel back to the city it is garaged in. Everything...

Re: I loathe Italy (in ets2)

And about the speed of the off-ramps; I suspect the final speed it's realistic in most cases. At the very least, the advance exit signal at least include the speed on the off-ramp so you have time to react. What's probably most unrealistic is the length of the off-ramp (in lots of cases, limited du...
