joebloggs Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Well done BF. After 5 hours and 96% complete download stops and cannot reconnect. So much for pre ordering when the servers get swamped when you release the game to everybody almost immediately.

LUCASWILLEN05 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I also am having very slow downloads. Currently speed is down to 14.8MB per second with 56% downloaded. This after my download stopped completely a few minutes ago. Reading the comments above including ChrisNDs there does seem to be an issue with the servers. Not good BF. You might want to take a look at issues raised by this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Toleran Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Well done BF. After 5 hours and 96% complete download stops and cannot reconnect. So much for pre ordering when the servers get swamped when you release the game to everybody almost immediately. "No plan survives contact with the next turn button" You made me feel better, at least. I was one of the people bitching about there not being a pre-order download for pure digital, but it looks like we are all in the same boat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Toleran Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Seeing 1 MB/s speeds now intermittently...maybe they finally got an Amazon cloud account. Edit: 1.7 MB/s now. Edited January 30, 2015 by Capt. Toleran 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No plan survives contact with the next turn button" Just curious, are you using Firefox? I was, and now I'm wondering if it was part of the problem. I work on 2-3 machines, some PC, some Mac, daily, and Firefox is guaranteed to slowly die at least 3 times a day for me across platforms, sometimes 2-3 times per platform Sad, Firefox used to be the "good" browser... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folkie Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 too frustrating, giving up for the nite. never had this happen before and i always pre order 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebloggs Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hi, No, IE. I give up. I'm probably going to wait for the 4-6 weeks for my hard copy to arrive. Would probably take me that long to download it anyway going on tonights experience. Last preorder.

Capt. Toleran Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Given the explanation here: http://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com/help/article/127844 ..it makes me wonder what the issue is. It can't all be our ISP's, so is Amazon Cloud the problem today? If so, Battlefront needs to get a rebate against next month's bill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Breeze Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Got 4 Gb downloaded then it stopped with a 'network error' message. Had to start from the beginning again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebloggs Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Edited post. Found the answer hereWe do NOT recommend using Download Managers! Download managers are often not able to cope with the dynamic nature of the cloud network environment. Use a browser to download instead. We recommend using the following browsers: Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer on the PC, and Safari on the Mac.Still pretty bad considering the size of the file.Not everybody has super fast broadband and the $27 delivery + possible extra VAT/Duty/Post Office "admin" fees makesdownloading the only option for a lot of people."No plan survives contact with the next turn button" Edited January 30, 2015 by joebloggs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGarner Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Ya no this isnt a client side issue. I have super internet plus plus. Never any problem downloading anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Toleran Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Same here, Uverse on this side, and I have better than 99% uptime. Something is screwy here.... EDIT: ...and it crashed again, and now it won't restart, regardless of browser. Anyone from Battlefront on this issue? I see multiple threads, it seems to be a common issue. You might want to call your Amazon tech support before the rest of your customers lose their minds. Right now it is feeling distinctly like the worst of the bad old days, 2007ish.

Zveroboy1 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Guys take a deep breath, the servers are just getting hammered it has nothing to do with your browser or your anti virus, fix yourself a nice stiff drink, you'll have the game soon enough if not today then tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebloggs Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) the servers are just getting hammeredThen why did BF release the game to the general masses so shortly after the pre order link went live?I'm pretty sure that not every one who pre ordered was sitting by their PC. They didn't really gain anything in the long run.There should have been at least a 24 hour window to avoid all this.Live and learn.I suppose you have the game? Any good?"No plan survives contact with the next turn button" Edited January 30, 2015 by joebloggs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
