Apex updates take longer to downlaod than other titles...

On PS4 when games are going to download it says preparing to download and does a 4% 10% up to 100%(obviously) thing, 

This is usually very quick regardless of size of download, but i notice with Apex sometimes that process can oddly take several minutes.

Any idea what might be the issue there?? And whether that is indicative of any other issues an install with this problem may be having?

  • @1ronKeys most other games have small packages of updates.

    Apex however has the size of half a game.

    Lucky for you the update was only around 13gb

    Where xbox had 32gb.

    It's all about the size and speed at which the update is going at. If a size is bigger, than to download that update would take longer.

    So size does count here unless you have a neatly high speed to get it downloaded faster.
  • @1ronKeys I found this one was pretty quick considering the size. It is the copying that usually takes forever, but not this time.
  • @hayhor Yeah this little mini one today downloaded in 4 mins...

    But the preparing took longer than other titles...

    And the copying.... oh, dear lord. The copying 😣😣😥

    Why's it do this???

    It's going 1% every 5-10 seconds.
