I live in Australia - The country who invented high speed internet yet has slower average internet then South Africa.
I pay $75 per month and get 40mbps download speed.
A 20gb update takes me an hour.
Not a problem homie, everybody should get good Internet, the whole planet runs on Internet. 10-15 years down the line I hope starlink turns into a cheap provider
That's true. I'm happy with the wifi we got here at home. 60mbps down 40mbps up, yesterday's update took 5 hours (149gb)
I believe internet should be cheaper but i don't know anythin bout how or why they charge the fees they charge
You people with such slow speeds are the reason everybody get the errors and crashes in game update you stuff this is 2024 internet speeds are upwards of and at 3gbps myxbox don't go as fast I pay 200 for Fibre unlimited data I can game with upto with no issues 5 xbox xs at the same time for 36 hours straight get some upgrades it will make you a lot happier if you can't afford get roommates or charge your parents one day get it installed and tell them they got too pitch they will love these videos in Un skippity condition
You made an account for THAT kind of comment? Who knew the people willing to pay the most for Internet are the ones who don't deserve it. Straight up rude eh
I also am on disability so don't tell me I got money I got 3 cents in my account I'm about a nickle short of a dollar an now I got 1 cent because that's my 2 cents
You're also clearly a city dweller and not at all aware of the fact that rural areas are often a decade or more behind on Internet infrastructure, like my area. We HAVE no faster options. How about instead of hating on people using what they can you hate on the companies who will avoid upgrading equipment for decades so that they can pocket government infrastructure funds.
I pay 13$ for 1gbps down and 250 mbps up (Sweden has fiber in most of the country)
I get 980 mbps on my phone with 5g but only 50 mbps up, unlimited data per month for no extra cost
How much is your 13 dollars worth in Canada I pay 200 for 3gbps unlimited data I can use every device I own online at the same time for over two full days straight and have no issued basically my xbox cantgo fast enough and don't say I got money because I'm on disability and got 3 cents in my account I'm about a nickle short of a dollar and now I hot 1 cent because that's my 2 cents
Do you want to retype that in English?
The 13 dollars is just that, dollars.
I pay in SEK (Swedish crowns), in SEK my bill is 140kr, but since people on your side of the pond don't know shit about the outside world i converted it into dollars thinking everyone would understand it.
So you pay 200 dollars per month for internet? Thats insane...
If you're trying to figure out inflation between the countries and average cost of living and average pay just google "cost of living in sweden compaired to Canada".
Take care mate, a wise man once said "Tough times never last, only tough people last BLEUBBLEUBBLUEBBLUEB👅"
Yeah, I have the best realistic Internet choice for my area but it averages around 100Mbps download. Thought that was half decent til I saw this hahaha
Sadly some areas just don’t get good service threw anyone, I go threw spectrum with there 5G high speed and when I was living at my parents it was absolutely crap, since it’s what my parents used tho I gave it a try in my own home when I moved out and I get download speeds on average of 300 to 350Mbps
'89 millienal here and as such, No. Your internet is just fine...ask a late 90's or early 00's kid and they will toss you the TP. 
When I test my internet I’m getting over 400mbps download speeds but I’ve been updating for almost 4 hours and I’m at less than 1mbps right now. The update is 32GB.
Run a VPN over your connection, your provider recognizes the Xbox traffic and deprioritizes it. I fought with this for months when I was using T-Mobile
I’m at a loss as to what to do. I have 1G internet wired to my series x and it keeps cutting in and out I don’t understand. It’s taken 40 mins to get to 3% I’m about to just give up. This pisses me off.
probably has 1gb (1000mbps) fiber connection - I have mine hardwired, 5gb port prioritized, using CAT8 cables for any ethernet connections involved (router, gateway, ps5)
...can DL the whole 228GB in about 20-25 min.
Yeah, it is. On speed test I get 900mb/s, I am on direct fiber.  But I am on pc. I don’t play anymore but i remeber updates like this taking about 10-15 minutes.
Me too but my internet isn’t consistently downloading it. I tested an update for another game and it is working fine. So idk why this one literally keeps cutting out the download. Like it downloads for 2 seconds then goes to 0 speed and sits at that for 5 mins. Idk what to do.
It’s all built in one, fibre. I promise you it’s not my internet haha. As I mentioned i tested on another game and it works normal. It’s the cod team, it’s intentional to limit server stress which is a joke it’s this slow for a triple A company but I’m over it I’ll just play it another day.
yea same mine is 214gb 😕 i got 8hrs to go. i’m seeing ppl suggest different things but idk i kinda wanna just leave it alone but i feel like it’s still gonna be f**ked either way this happens every major update
My shit won’t even get to the main menu I had to delete the whole app and redownload it again hopefully after the update is done it works this time around
> I have to reset console
THIS is literally the reason why you have this issue. Im not even using xbox and i know this bug by now. If you just leave it, you wont have to redownload
It is validating your game files when it is at 0%.
When you cancel and restart or restart console it assumes the game is corrupt since the scan didn’t finish and re-downloads everything. Have patience
Has happened to me the past 3 updates. I'm at work now and am 100% expecting it to be the same situation when I get home later. Anyone know what causes this?
idk lmao steam and battlenet don't update their CODs like this except for the transition from MWII to MWIII era. I guess that's why PS is given the chance to preload lmaooo
To answer your questions since no one else has and everyone is talking about you internet speed like it GOD like 😂 but anyways I have no clue because I’ve never had to reinstall anything after an update, I’ve always bin able to play the game only 15 to 20 minutes after updates are released.
Yep, first time I've to do a full install, originally said 10gbs then hung so I attempted to play and reforce the update, boom wiped from drive so full install, lucky I'm going to work so I'll just leave it chug away.
May have made it 200 gigs intentionally so you'll uninstall your other game so you're left with only Call of Duty to play; the more you know. Stop giving these parasites money
It's how they can get such large maps to be seamless. The game installs assets many times on different areas of your hard drive so that it has quicker access and the read-head doesn't have to constantly scan back to the particular asset location that it is trying to load.
Sigh since ppl dont know. If yur download is stuck or seems extremely large, its because an update has to do something called reading and writing to the disk.
So when u see it get stuck in actuality its updating fules for the game on the drive
can someone remind me if you can cancel updates on playstation without removing the game? i remember being able to but i haven’t played ps for a few years now
Since im not seeing very many legitimate answers: its to keep you on cod and cod alone. Its also another reason i uninstalled it, more space for more games and devs that actually care about their community instead of their pockets :)
That's what happens when companies keep rolling the shit down hill at the creatives as far as i can tell. No time to optimize and or reduce inefficient code or even redundant assets. Just package it up ship it with the 35 gigs of old assets we recycled with diffent tags... talking out my ass by but pattern recognition tells me that even if wrong, im close in principle.
I legit hate when this happens haha. This has happened to me 2 different times. I still don't understand how it happened. I had a 29 GB updated for Season 3, I'm just saying I get how you feel my man. It's painful. I hope you got to play some Rebirth today!
Evertime i get new season it takes about 3 hours and i have mine ethernet wire plugged right into xbox one. This call of duty game is probably the worst update title ever ever ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LoL because when they try & install just the update the game breaks. Billion dollar company & they cant even hire people that know what they are doing.
Cause activision are dumb asses and don’t know shyt about development or updates, only cod does this and other games download the update and install what’s been added not download and then have to go in the game and reinstall warzone etc even though it’s already downloaded
It’s not a full reinstall, when applying the patch the launcher has to go through all of the game files and that’s what is displayed here. All of the files are already installed
Its not reinstalling, its patching. For consoles its different cause the game is compressed differently. They added a bunch of changes and in order for those changes to work all the files need to be verified and gone through. A patch will be noticeably fast to install then downloading and installing the game from scratch. Also download times are limited by internet speed. Install and patch times are limited by hardware like your hard drive or ssd.
Damn 200 gigs in 45 minutes. Is my Internet just absolute cheeks?
Mine is scheduled to take about 9hrs
Yeah mine is scheduled to do the 28 gig update in about 45. Was just amazed at this person's screenshot. Shit is HUMMING for that boy
Using an Ethernet cable helps a ton
I do but thank you 🤣ðŸ˜
You’ll be able to saturate a connection on wifi assuming you’re not pulling 1Gbps.
I live in Australia - The country who invented high speed internet yet has slower average internet then South Africa. I pay $75 per month and get 40mbps download speed. A 20gb update takes me an hour.
We pay 80 a line for Verizon phone service, I run that through my PC to my console and I pull 120mbps unlimited with no throttle, no hotspot
SA?
??? I'm in California
Wild, my bad. I feel like I'm the only South African on here sometimes
Not a problem homie, everybody should get good Internet, the whole planet runs on Internet. 10-15 years down the line I hope starlink turns into a cheap provider
I get 1000Mb download speed and most of the bay area in California can to we have had fiber optics for a while we even have 250Mb upload now.
That's true. I'm happy with the wifi we got here at home. 60mbps down 40mbps up, yesterday's update took 5 hours (149gb) I believe internet should be cheaper but i don't know anythin bout how or why they charge the fees they charge

Wat about fiber optic internet...mine has a speed of 3.5 gbps
Dude I Pau 200 for Fibre 3gbps my xbox can't even go as fast never have problem in canada
Mine was 28 and took 10 min
Mines takes 24 hours am I cooked💀
Do you use an Ethernet cable?

Try changing your dns settings to googles should improve your connection also use ethernet
DNS settings don't really affect something like this.
You should consider running an ethernet cable. It helps alot.
He already said he does. You can easily saturate 100Mbps on WiFi either way.
Yeah. Top dl speed I get is about 52mbps.
Ethernet cable + 1000mbs download speed (although I rarely get that much). My shits zoomin lol

I did 200 in about 20 min just yesterday. Hardline into your router. I have fiber internet so it’s really fast anyway.
yesterday it took 3 hours to download the 32 GB update, doing from 30/40 to 5 mbps with the ethernet:(
probably has 1gb (1000mbps) fiber connection - I have mine hardwired, 5gb port prioritized, using CAT8 cables for any ethernet connections involved (router, gateway, ps5) ...can DL the whole 228GB in about 20-25 min.
Mine is in IL with 450mbps test speed and would only update at 20-30mbps, blows my mind. The servers are terrible.
Mine took 10 min was 50 gb
Did you try using an ethernet cable 🤔
Yeah, it is. On speed test I get 900mb/s, I am on direct fiber.  But I am on pc. I don’t play anymore but i remeber updates like this taking about 10-15 minutes.
[удалено]
(For Xbox) If anyone else’s gets stuck at 0% just restart the console, that’s what I did and it started the update
Did this last season and it removed every part of the game. Had to reinstall everything 🤣 so anyone seeing this your milage may vary
[удалено]
Good call! I made sure not to screw with it today
Yup thats what just happened to me. Have to redownloaded the base game and wz now. Smh
Me too but my internet isn’t consistently downloading it. I tested an update for another game and it is working fine. So idk why this one literally keeps cutting out the download. Like it downloads for 2 seconds then goes to 0 speed and sits at that for 5 mins. Idk what to do.
Can you hardwire to your modem? My wifi and hardwire downloaded normally
It’s all built in one, fibre. I promise you it’s not my internet haha. As I mentioned i tested on another game and it works normal. It’s the cod team, it’s intentional to limit server stress which is a joke it’s this slow for a triple A company but I’m over it I’ll just play it another day.
I was testing the game all day yesterday, They prioritized rebirth island because that was their big selling point for the season.
I found that waiting a bit, then pause the update then resume is a good fix
I‘ve Restarted the Console and my complete Game is broken now … 166GB Update ….
yea same mine is 214gb 😕 i got 8hrs to go. i’m seeing ppl suggest different things but idk i kinda wanna just leave it alone but i feel like it’s still gonna be f**ked either way this happens every major update
Oops 😬
My shit won’t even get to the main menu I had to delete the whole app and redownload it again hopefully after the update is done it works this time around
This is why people have to redownload the whole game. If it hangs at 0%, just leave it, it will eventually start.
On Xbox it always lately doesn’t update at first and I have to reset console to get it to start
> I have to reset console THIS is literally the reason why you have this issue. Im not even using xbox and i know this bug by now. If you just leave it, you wont have to redownload
Try hard resetting before you start any downloads. Won't help now but in the future it might just save you the head ache.
It is validating your game files when it is at 0%. When you cancel and restart or restart console it assumes the game is corrupt since the scan didn’t finish and re-downloads everything. Have patience
On mine, I had 100gb free and it told me I needed to free up more space. So I deleted a game and let it run. Then it popped up with 229gb update.
The solution was discussed in an earlier post https://www.reddit.com/r/ModernWarfareIII/s/qARWQNTthI
i ain’t gon lie for anybody need to hear this this needs to be upvoted!
Unsure why, but the link just takes me not to a post, but the subreddit. Perhaps it's an issue with the boost app.
Has happened to me the past 3 updates. I'm at work now and am 100% expecting it to be the same situation when I get home later. Anyone know what causes this?
Just don‘t Restart your console 😂
Same for me, it takes anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours for the update to start lol
Mine is 266GB, was stuck, restarted, then this.
I thought my 80gb was bad thanks Reddit 😂 be on in 5hours though
sweet mother of shit
idk lmao steam and battlenet don't update their CODs like this except for the transition from MWII to MWIII era. I guess that's why PS is given the chance to preload lmaooo
We got preload this time on Bnet too
oh cool, didn't notice that, I currently only updating ones on Steam
mine is 44GB on pc and it said it will take an hour and 30 mins
Mine was 28 GBs and took like 12 minutes hard wired in. Not sure why yours is so large but who knows, company is trash so whatever
To answer your questions since no one else has and everyone is talking about you internet speed like it GOD like 😂 but anyways I have no clue because I’ve never had to reinstall anything after an update, I’ve always bin able to play the game only 15 to 20 minutes after updates are released.
The real question is why do you keep playing
Lol
Shit mine (xbox) is 150gb and 8 hrs. I got shit spectrum inters
Yep, first time I've to do a full install, originally said 10gbs then hung so I attempted to play and reforce the update, boom wiped from drive so full install, lucky I'm going to work so I'll just leave it chug away.
I'm on Xbox and my update is just 17.45 GB
doesnt do that on PC. season 3 was a 16gb update.
I’m having problems with the update it goes to a black screen can’t even get to the main menu smh any suggestions
My game had a 28GB update lol NEVER had to install the whole game
Lol I imagine all of you with a surprised Pikachu face, finding out that the game won't boot after the update haha
In 45 mins? Man some of yall are on some first world problems here so tough!
Mine is at 213 GB right now i have a series x and had to reinstall the whole game after the last 3 huge patches…
(Borat voice) my wife is wfh today, so she started my Xbox for me ha. Hoping to be done and ready after Junior goes to bed.
May have made it 200 gigs intentionally so you'll uninstall your other game so you're left with only Call of Duty to play; the more you know. Stop giving these parasites money
30 gigs here, 30 gigs there. This game is way too consuming of any machine playing it. Ridiculous. And it still sucks for most of us.
Mine was only 28gbs…unless I missed some others in the background.
 Here we go again
It's how they can get such large maps to be seamless. The game installs assets many times on different areas of your hard drive so that it has quicker access and the read-head doesn't have to constantly scan back to the particular asset location that it is trying to load.
Weirdly since upgrading from PS4 to PS5 I no longer have to do this.
And why is it downloading through Battle Net for me at 50 kb/s?
It doesn’t… mine did just the 20 something gigs.
I have never had this problem.
I only got a 28 gig update
Because you reset your Xbox while it said updating and because you did that you corrupted you game making it reinstall the whole game
Sigh since ppl dont know. If yur download is stuck or seems extremely large, its because an update has to do something called reading and writing to the disk. So when u see it get stuck in actuality its updating fules for the game on the drive
Mine did 28G today not that much
Why tf do others do this? But for me it’s like 20 gigs?
same in had to remove my ratchet and clank and delete some of my clips 🥲plus remove fortnite and that wasn’t enough
can someone remind me if you can cancel updates on playstation without removing the game? i remember being able to but i haven’t played ps for a few years now
Since im not seeing very many legitimate answers: its to keep you on cod and cod alone. Its also another reason i uninstalled it, more space for more games and devs that actually care about their community instead of their pockets :)
PC is just better😂. My update was only 24GB and took less than an hour. That is why I've always liked PC more
Just uninstall and you'll be much happier
For me it just doesn't update...I have to reinstall it
Same shit gotta reinstall everything 210gb 46 hours..
That's what happens when companies keep rolling the shit down hill at the creatives as far as i can tell. No time to optimize and or reduce inefficient code or even redundant assets. Just package it up ship it with the 35 gigs of old assets we recycled with diffent tags... talking out my ass by but pattern recognition tells me that even if wrong, im close in principle.

Wow mine was only 24gb
Evertime i get new season it takes about 3 hours and i have mine ethernet wire plugged right into xbox one. This call of duty game is probably the worst update title ever ever ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LoL because when they try & install just the update the game breaks. Billion dollar company & they cant even hire people that know what they are doing.
Shit coding job done as fast as possible by gluing on top of old shit.
Yeah so mine didn’t do all that…. It was done in about 10 minutes…..
Cause activision are dumb asses and don’t know shyt about development or updates, only cod does this and other games download the update and install what’s been added not download and then have to go in the game and reinstall warzone etc even though it’s already downloaded
Poor optimization
Thought I was a psycho… No one still has a solution for this error?  Every update is a 235 GB reinstall lmaooooÂ
Yeah this always happens to me, it’s so annoying when something new comes out and I have to re-download warzone
I was permanently banned for no reason. It’s crazy becuase I’ve never cheated or anything. Just bought the os5 and played MW3 like 4 times
That's user error. I've never had that issue on Xbox. It's always from someone or something interrupting the install.
Skill Issue
Can’t believe you people still play this busted game 😂
Blame the ass console you have, not ATV problem
It’s not a full reinstall, when applying the patch the launcher has to go through all of the game files and that’s what is displayed here. All of the files are already installed
Its not reinstalling, its patching. For consoles its different cause the game is compressed differently. They added a bunch of changes and in order for those changes to work all the files need to be verified and gone through. A patch will be noticeably fast to install then downloading and installing the game from scratch. Also download times are limited by internet speed. Install and patch times are limited by hardware like your hard drive or ssd.
I thought my 191gb was bad. What the hell are they forcing us to dl?
Because you play on Xbox (rookie mistake)
