Long Download Times Steam Mod Manager Every Patch

[bacchus731]

Hey guys,

Anyone else experiencing very long download times when updating? With the rate of patch being every day almost, I'm sometimes spending more time downloading than playing! Maybe it has something to do where I am in the world...

If this is an issue for others, perhaps the devs would like to consider pushing updates weekly unless something needs a hotfix.

That being said, I truly appreciate the constant work being done on this mod. Best Total War experience I've ever had.

Say hi to Steam for this issue. I always use mediafire link instead of Steam workshop.

When there's a new version more updates to fix all quirks and bugs are to be expected.

In some days the thing will calm down and the updates will become rarer. I hope that this last patch (0.82e) to be the last one for some days.

CA mod manager is slow and very weird when downloading mod patches, even the download completion bar is quirky, I never use Steam workshop mods unless I really have too.

I have always had weird Steam issues when updating mods, and not just DEI. Sometimes it completely finishes but won't actually finish. I just close the Rome II console and restart it and it shows as done.

Other times I have to start and restart up to 3 times to get it to complet updating. Weaksauce Steam

I am also experiencing very long download times on steam for the new patches. Very frustrating, because this mod is so great!

I am so grateful to the DEI team for continuing to patch this mod and make it better.

All patches for dei is downloadig fast for me oby steam so maybe its something wrong with your CPU or connection.

I had some dramas last night updating to 0.82e through steam, one way to tell if it is actually downloading is the hold the cursor over the steam icon in the tray, it will specify the download speed if any.
The parts had actually downloaded, but the update bar in the mod manager was not updating this fact, I rebooted the computer, and two of them had finished, only 1 was left, which downloaded at 80-110kbs, but the speed is steams issue, not the mod.

Lately I have had to unsubscribe from certain parts of the mod on Steam and reinstall it, just to get it to update to the latest version. Sometimes it takes multiple tries and some time. I think it's a Steam issue, personally.

Solution is very easy. Download from mediafire link ;P
