I remember when cataclysm came out for wow and I had to leave my computer on over night and during school the next day to download
Neoqueto
To this day I find myself closing my eyes with expectations that when I open them the progress bar will be longer. Can't witness it move!
Zetor
I move it to the edge of the screen
OzRockabella

This should be top comment.
CliffyWeevil
What the fuck do you mean the older people? I still have to do this most of the time.
IAmTheOneCuttingTheOnions
So, being 14, does that mean I'm part of the older people?

Use the mouse cursor, it shows it far better.
rpgaff2
I get paranoid that I accidentally jiggled the mouse and it moved ahead.

Yeah but sometimes it's hard to position it right on the edge of the loading bar. Maybe I'm just a bit spastic
registeredtoproveimawesome
And thats why you dont have high sens and dpi like a scrublord2k13.
SeaHutch
I was always one of those kids who would count the actual pixels if something was going slowly.
DeanSledgehammer
That's not a thing.

Then I guess I'm alone

keyblader1985

I did that
snaggletoof
I just pick up the phone and listen for that sweet, soothing internet connection sound.
Senishal
"Older people will know." Like there still aren't loading bars with everything you download/install? An eight year old knows this.
StealTow
OP is referring to the length of time that loading bars took to move. Not loading bars them selves.
dasmause
OP is 13 and wants to feel cool
SpecimenSpiff
I was just going to say the same.

JagdPanzer38T
i recently tried to download Deus Ex from steam... 600 bytes per second was what it peaked at... gotta love living on a farm...

I also live on a farm in a very rural area... Wireless internet sucks.

Welcome to Australia, where the download speed is low and the temperature is kind of high
MarlboromanMat
And where the government is intent on creating 500,000 (when you consider the peripheral jobs associated) unemployed, because it won't 1/2

back the Australian car industry. But hey, you'll get UFB sometime in the next 50-odd years. 2/2
LordGeneralHammerSmash
On steam whenever payday 2 has an update,any other game would download and install quickly,it takes for fucking ever.
ireadyouremailz
every time i feel brave enough to finish GTA V i start up steam which updates for an hour, then the game updates for a few more.
OmegaK2
Steam is pretty bad at making updates to very big files. Basically copies it, then writes which depends on your HDD speed 1/2
OmegaK2
It also takes a lot of space on the HDD. Payday isn't the only game with this steam problem, Path of Exile has it too for example
twopiecesoftoast
It took 9 minutes for it to download the update that only added 2 new difficulties
LordGeneralHammerSmash
My download speed is pretty good,it took about 3 hours to download and install,I just dont get it,every other game is fine.
xeperos
Idk payday needed about 30min for the update (like every other game for that size) and then it needed another 15min after it was "done"
Zaayl
Its them, their servers cant handle the stress, and whatever they do to compress the files is super inefficient.
AntonioScartezzini
Its not the servers, its both the file compression and file obfsucation. They obfuscate all the game files, compress that and then 1/?
AntonioScartezzini
They obfuscate the compressed files, which has a consequence, they cant do updates by diffin files and they have to load all the 2/?
AntonioScartezzini
Obfuscated And compressed files for that specific part of the game(they separate the files per game part) that makes required to ?/?
Zaayl
If their servers are fine, then why are the downloads 20 times slower during events/day of patches?
AntonioScartezzini
Decompress all the files required for that part. While its good(it compresses a lot) it Also hás these side effects. Updates take longer ?
