easyandrew Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Yes I have high speed internet,,but anything regarding patches or updates from Bioware it`s always capped at 3.8mb`s,,,pathetic,,,so after all these hours of waiting to play,,it is now at the load in screen with the play button bright but when pressing it nothing happens,,AND I discovered even downloading the entire 38gig PTS last month,,it wants to redownload the entire thing again,,this is very disapoiting as I`m paying over 160$ a year for this game.

Amodin Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) I downloaded at 22mb, so it's not them. You can't play yet anyways, the servers aren't even scheduled to come up for at least an hour. Edited March 28, 2023 by Amodin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called that in the predictions post, lol. I think they shorted themselves on such a huge project like this.

Worked fine for me, and well above what your issue with the launcher is. You could have ISP routing issues, or something else going on.

Especially exceptionally large updates like the one we received today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
