So I did the pre download for the game on the Epic Games launcher, and had the gold edition and the 12th just so happned to be my birthday and I was really excited, was planning to pull a all nighter playing today but at 12:00 it said launch and I was excited so I clicked it and it pulled up uplay and it said I needed to download 38 more gigs and I dont have good internet at all (680 kb/s on a good day) and it is going to take forever to download it and to tell you the truth I'm pissed and disappointed. If this download is necessary then why wasn't it added to the pre download, I could of finished and played, but no now it probably wont even be done today, I just want some answers.
Hi ItsSkylem. Happy birthday! I sincerely apologize for any frustration. There was Day 1 patch that you had to download, but that was only about 2 GBs. It is possible some of your files were corrupted upon installing, so the game reinstalled them for you. Epic Games has this FAQ for network issues when downloading games.
