6 Hours for a single update

Everytime A major Update comes out for Apex Legends, Not Only does the update take 2 hours when "Applying Update" Sometimes it sets itself a limit of around 13KB/s but it Also then Verifies the Entire Game and then Proceeds to update it AGAIN. These are 20GB + updates and I have been trying to Update the S19 Apex for now 4 HOURS and I have to Download ANOTHER 23GB Update after the 4hrs I spent Trying to Just finish 30GB update

This CANT be normal right?

Its not my Internet Because I tested this by doing a quick download on steam for 3GB that took 2 mins but It takes 2 hours to "Apply" the update then another to "verify" the update for Apex

My download speed is set to unlimited and changing it does not effect the speed at all when its below 512KB/s

This is not my first time dealing with this and I have re-downloaded the EA App 3 times prior to this, It is also fully up to date as of 4:30 EST Nov 1 2023



I have basically downloaded 60GB of Data AND Verified 56GB of data just to play S19 of Apex... 1 single update ... I could have completely uninstalled and reinstall through steam FASTER than it has taken for this update

There is no way this is a normal thing.
Im just trying to play your game. Any sort of help is Appreciated
