It doesn't matter how fast your internet is during that process, it's comes down to how fast your SSD/HDD can perform a write. When it says there's no download and there's disk usage, it's because steam is delta patching a file. When they get written, the steam client is not working on the existing file either, it makes a copy of it, which takes time, then it delta patches it, which takes more time, then once it's verified and passes a hash, the original file is overwritten (which, you guessed it, takes more time). (I couldn't find a good channel for this post that's why it is in general.)Īrk's cache is huge and the files the updates write can be quite large (3-10GB in some cases). Any other game in steam or any other launcher I can download 20 GB in half an hour while with Ark I'm always happy when 200 KB are done within an hour. My downloadspeed is always zero but writingspeed is always high (~40mb/s). Originally posted by Dranix:When Ark has an update it will always 'download' very slow.
