1- The game is huge (9+ GBs)

2- The patching is processor heavy, so it slows down your machine

3- The Downloader needs bandwidth to download, and you playing online games at the same time, reduces the bandwidth available to it.


We usually advise installing the game overnight.

Yeah, but this is the first time a saw a patching require so much processing power, and I`ve downloaded 9Gb`s much faster, if it had a torrent or direct link version it how be much better. and thanks for replying,

Cheers.

No problem. This game in general is VERY processor heavy.

I haven't had issues with the patcher interfering with my gameplay while downloading even on complete reinstalls. However, my gaming hard drive and my primary hard drive are not one-in-the-same. This is important for ADD / ADHD multi-taskers like myself who can't just do one thing at a time.

Because a running game will consume and use some space on your main hard drive in addition to RAM regardless of where it is installed, my main hard drive's page file will be in use while playing in addition to the internet activity. Meanwhile my gaming hard drive's only activity with the game I'm playing at the time is on loading screens (where it won't affect me).

This means all other activity on said gaming hard drive is dedicated exclusively to writing what I downloaded, making it very fast.

My computer is: 4 core AMD Phenom II processor at 4.3 ghz. 16 Gigabytes 1333 mhz RAM (not the actual megahertz but that is what the machine forces them to due to some issue). 7 hard drives (ranging from 250 gigabytes to 1.5 terrabytes per HD). Windows 7 with ALL 'fancy' display options turned off (no fancy multi-colored taskbar b.s. those are ALL processor hogs; my interface looks identical to classic windows 95 / 98).

Note Windows 8 is a processor *****. >.>

Far as a torrent, don't think there is one. (Though so far as I can tell by the way the game downloads it seems as if it actually does torrent itself which can sometimes explain its speeds).
