Hi there...i'm encountering a big connection problem to upgrade the game after a break.. i don't have a big connection,i have a 7MB but i'm currently downloading at 0,20 MB/s..
What could influence this downloading value?
My connection is stable and goes well for any other download...
Thanks in advance...
One of the ISP's along your route (not necessarily yours) may be erroneously fingering the download as Torrent traffic and assigning your data as a lower priority. If you are running into this issue with the patches, you may find you also run into some stability issues during peak traffic times while in game as well. You may be able to avoid it all by using a VPN service.
There are some free ones out there you can try:
http://www.vpnbook.com/ has a guide to set up a Point-To-Point Tunnel (PPTP) with Windows built-in connection manager that is completely free. It won't let you play the game, but it should work to let you get into the launcher and download the patches. No caps, no registration required for using the PPTP Option (not sure about their OpenVPN method)... and it has a lot of bandwidth (tested it at 14M down, 1M up on my line a while back).
https://cyberghostvpn.com/en/product/purchase.html also has a free use option and works to let you play the game as well, but it can feed you ads periodically (which may cause problems) and limits you to a 3 hour session. To unlock it, they charge $7/month, $40/yr, $70 for 2 yrs. for one machine (you can get 5 licenses for $11, 70, or 110).
https://www.tunnelbear.com is another one that gets along well with the game (much simpler interface), but the default free mode limits you to 500MB/month (unless you promote them through Twitter, which gets you an extra 1 GB free). You can get unlimited use for $5/month or $50/year if you find you want to use it a lot.
