@oynlengeymer - You necro'd an old thread. That's why they closed it. For other's reference, here's what he posted. it was a thread regarding long patch times. :

no its not steam, its the way unreal games are patched pak files are spread out son one edit to one thing, might require unpacking 16 pak files and editing tiny bits in each one, then re-packing and verifying. All that for a small 2mb update and it will take hours.

This game is honestly the worst I have seen for this. Add to that, Disk Read error mid update often. Its Saturday night and some stupid hotfix for single player chests has prevented me from playing at all today. 4 attempts at like 2 hours each, each ending with disk read error. Yes I have done everything google says. Funny that THIS is the only game that does this, and does it constantly..

My suggestion would be to run CHKDISK on the drive. It's not a steam or UE file size issue. My updates take about 10 minutes, and I'm updating the same files you are. I've never had a read error, but I did get a write error once, way back when, and a check & repair on the disk solved it. I've never had an update take hours.

Hello,

Yes, the creation date is indicated, and the date of the last post is visible to everyone. The reason why outdated topics are closed is simply because it can lead to outdated information, but also because it's listed as such in the Steam Terms of Service.

For technical issues, it's always better to open a separate topic for the specific problem so we can provide targeted support.
