September I bought The Sims 4 yesterday. Me too. Message 1 of 19 31, Views. Re: Why is the game taking so long to download? September could be something going on with your ISP or your network. Message 2 of 19 31, Views. December I don't understand why this is taking so long, I bought the game hoping to go on it the same day!
Like I've been able to do with all the other sims games I ever had! If I known it was gonna be like this I would never have bought it!
Ive listened to a lot of people saying they have closed the download and restarted it which I have done and had to start from scratch and it's still taking forever!
This problem needs sorting! However, it is worth trying if you want to see if you can get files to download a little faster.
The process is covered in the above video. The tester does indeed find an improvement in bandwidth using different DNS servers; this may or may not be the case for other people who try this.
It requires reconfiguring the internet connection mostly as Default or Automatic, but changing to Custom just for the DNS servers and entering your own ones manually. Google DNS 8. Bottom Line — Your download speeds may or may not improve by changing your servers. It depends on a lot of different factors; see the video above for a detailed test of all three servers.
The other two delivered worse bandwidth. Every situation will be different. If you are looking for an even more advanced way of finding the perfect exact pair of DNS servers for your location, then you may want to use the free DNS Benchmark tool , which will run a full test from your computer of all available DNS servers in your area and rank them according to the fastest and most reliable ones.
You can then select the two top ranked ones and manually put them into your PS4 as we showed above. To use this tool you need to visit the website, download the free application and then run the DNS test.
Gamers based in the US can use the quick test; someone based in another part of the world may want to run the fuller test that takes around half an hour and tests DNS servers from all over the world to find the two best ones for your location. In some cases using Custom DNS servers can give a noticeable enough improvement in bandwidth to make it worth changing them. If you really like the results you get from using a certain custom pair of DNS servers, then you can even put them into your router so that all the devices in your house can use them.
See here for an article how to do this for some popular routers. This is another very common reason why PS4 downloads can go slower than expected — there are simply a lot of people using the internet at the same time in the home and more generally , and this can increase network congestion and increase the time it takes for downloads to complete. This problem is worse on Wi-Fi, because it is more prone to congestion. A router can only handle traffic demands on Wi-Fi sequentially, in a queue based system, and not simultaneously.
Do a deep search instead. This new service reveals personal records of millions of Americans with a simple computer search. How long does it take to download a game on the PS4? Why is my GTA V taking so long to.
We wanted to test the install times of both new consoles, so we plugged a PS4 into an Xbox One's TV input and watched them race to install a game. You can see in our video, there's a big difference in the two systems. Both the Xbox One and PS4 require all games to be installed from the disc, due to the increasing size of games and the relatively low speed of optical drives.
So both consoles have a feature that allows you to launch a game as soon as enough content is installed to begin running it, while the rest of the data continues to install in the background. Our test was how long it takes to launch the game from the time you insert a disc, with a normal console connected to the internet. We tested six multiplatform games on both consoles and every time, the PS4 was under a minute while the Xbox One install was several minutes long and required downloading an update before beginning the installation.
When you include downloading those updates for each Xbox One game that happen in the background on PS4, the install times can get as high as fifteen minutes before you can even launch the game. Remember that this is only a test of how long the games initially take to install. May 6, , am EDT. Feb 9, , am EST. Feb 4, , am EST. Jan 26, , am EST. Oct 29, , pm EDT. Oct 27, , pm EDT.
