tdcr Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 hey guys yall need to understand some of us live in the country and do not have many high speed internet options and alot of them have 5 gig caps, so ya really need to WORK FKN HARD to bring down the size of these patchs!!! my ONLY option here is 1.5 meg dsl and these patchs are incredibly huge and im startin to get pissed because they didnt used to be this big i have been a sub since day one dam near but if every patch its going to take 3 dam days to download the patch im heading on and im sure im not the only one. FIGURE IT OUT!! REDUCE PATCH SIZES!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_mike Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 It's got to be something on your end. My patch was no where that large. I was on crappy Chick-fil-a wifi as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdcr Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) cant be, i play other games and their patchs arnt excessive. gurantee that chick-fil-a wasnt 1.5, matter of fact i know it wasnt because no way 1.5 would support a restaraunt full of people and whoever else is suckin off it, betcha 10 to 1 they have cable internet and their wifi pulls off that and its WAYYYY faster than 1.5 trust me. it would also be helpful if the patcher would show the size not just the speed. to me it seems these patchs are gigabytes large and thats just not acceptable for the small changes that are made.

tdcr Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 ive figured it out i -think-, its not as much data as i thought its just coming in SLOW like slower than an old dialup modem, i have a feeling its p2p and since my upload is VERY SLOW and i cant pass it on to others very fast its not giving me much either. this is very disturbing. its not the patcher either i have tried that before and it doesnt help at all sometimes it makes me start over. im not gunna pay for a game that requires i have intensive upload speed just to have good download speed on patchs.

Novaless Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Here you go... this will remove Bitraider and then the P2P bit won't be used... just straight up, full-speed downloads. Also... if you do the below steps (which will speed up your downloads going forward)... you will have to re-download the whole game (be warned). 1. Close SWTOR 2. Search for Launcher.settings it is in the SWTOR folder 3. Open in texteditor. 4. Find the matching section in the file and delete the 4 lines and replace with this: , "PatchingMode": "{ \"swtor\": \"SSN\"}" , "bitraider_download_complete": { } , "log_levels": "INFO,SSNFO,ERROR" , "bitraider_disable": "true" 5. SAVE if notepad make sure it is saved without .txt tacked on to launcher.settings.txt 6. Delete the bitraider folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediQuaker Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 It's possible that your ISP is detecting the download as a P2P transfer and is purposefully throttling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdcr Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 wow, someone that actually sounds like they have a clue about something. to rare in our world nowadays IMO. it is what it is though. a have a new 1TB SSD and its so fast its corrupts data its just TO FAST lol, it does seem better now thats it broke in or something but a few months ago i had a problem with disappearing fonts and icons and things in the game and i was suggested to delete that bitraider folder and yes it made me install the whole game which takes several days on my 1.5. now i keep the swtor folder backed up lol. that didnt even work either i had to get a new install from my friend who has 6 meg and it was an ordeal. im going to keep my current game backed up up somewhere and try to install a new game with the steps you outlined. i appreaciate the help! but just in the rare event some dev does see this post please guys make the game where in default mode it can download ok on 1.5 dsl. it used to so i know you can do it. otherwise you gunna lose subs, figure it out.
