Patching is slow, please help

Patching time goes up and down, it can say 30min left then up to 10h left...
Disk usage goes from less than 1MB/s up to 21MB/s...

This is not the first time this is happning and i wanna know why. I need help to prevent this from happning and i have checked the disk, there is no problem with it....

I lost my place in a tourny match and first of all, bad facking timeing, secound, why do i need to patch the hole game after a 7.5gb patch? That has been done downloading for over 1h now tbh.

  • 2h 45 min, still 7min to 1h 20min left to patch... and only at 94%...

  • OH and now its "installing" 3h and 20 min, 20 min after start of "installing" and saying more than 1 year, its on 24%

  • @B3zzkha Hello @B3zzkha,

    Double make sure your router and steam arent on any metered connection. a Lot of other members have had this issue and just letting it run fixed it for them.
    Try pausing/ Unpausing the download and see if that fixes anything (give it some time, dont jump and say "No it didnt work" after a few seconds)

    If that doesn't work, stop the download all together, close steam, re-open and re-start the download.
    a lot of other players are having problems and overtime, it fixed itself.

    DUDE, it had been over 1 hour before i even tried contact you guys. AND trying everything from verify, pausing and unpausing, restarting steam, restarting pc, checking disk, checking every * thing.
    Leting it run isnt a fix, the problem is it takes took long as the patching goes from 21MB/s down to less than 1mb/s and there is nothing wrong with my router.

  • Warzone, no problem
    GTA, no problem
    PUBG, no problem
    and they are also big games
    Heck, even lost ark didn't have this problem.

    So clearly its from EA/Respawn

    Also, isn't the first time this happen and it´s only for apex.

    @317cf76d6d15054413cf67acac880f0d @B3zzkha It would be using the Steam download servers. Are you still seeing issues with download or has it been "solved"?
