Default Ehh, 26 hours downloadin?

I bought the game digitally, and downloaded the game.

After installing it i was looking forward to play the game, guess what, it needs to be patched first, which is ok, but god damn, it's 26 hours remaining? What the....?

Any other way i can solve this?

stop and restart the download. Occasionally you can get a better connection and it'll move swiftly.

Unless you're on dial-up - in which case..............sorry! lol

The 'estimation' is never accurate. You'll be fine. Patching took less that 20 minutes on my 20mbs connection.

Also.. this is the career forum.

If you have a friend with the Retail copy Use his. I loaned mine out to 3 friends that wanted to play. After you have used the key the Disks are worthless anyways.

And they are Correct if you see a BIG drop in DL stop it and restart in a min or 2

Stop and restart. You will not lose anything by trying as it saves your progress after every file downloaded. The worse that can happen is it doesnt get any better.
