Middle Earth Shadow of Loot Boxes is 100GB on PC

...

How is he downloading from Steam at 50 Mb/sec? I pay for that speed, but I only get like 6.8 Mb/sec max

And? It's the voice data which takes up all that space, not the lootboxes.

live in an area with actual competition.

WHAT THE FUCK? I WOULD MURDER MY DOG FOR THOSE SPEEDS

When I do a speed test, it shows the download speed I'm paying for.

Steam is one of the few services where I usually max out my connection at 75Mbit

Sounds like your ISP isn't part of Steam's CDN network

That's because the speed test is being hosted by your ISP (which is kinda fair - they're responsible for giving you advertised speeds within their network, they can't control what other networks do to your traffic)

You pay for 50 megabits/sec, what you see on steam is megabytes/sec. ISPs advertise the bigger number of course, even though most online services show download speeds in megabytes.

>not black speech

Why?

The confusing part is he abbreviated his d/l speed as megabits as well....but that could have been pure luck as 7MB/s is about right for a 50Mb connection

Does anyone even use megabits in any other capacity than jewing the consumer?

It's common for ISPs to have traffic to and from speed test sites be given the highest priority.

it's pretty commonly used in networking because you care more about the bits than the bytes

>100GB
A piracy protection scheme more powerful than Denuvo!

>plus a TON of uruk voice acting
Why don't devs compress their audio anymore? Is the difference that big?

Bits is the standard for network data because cables read one bit at a time, bytes is the standard for stored data because HDDs read a byte at a time.

>pirate repack will be only 30GB

Genuinely, cheers.

Yep. Also bits can be bad and need correction. You guarantee a number of bits per second, you don't guarantee all those bits will be good and give you proper bytes

>pirate repack will be only 30GB
>it will be the Russian audio only
mite b cool, some legit Black Speech just Tolkien would have wished

We don't need a second thread on this.

>a TON of uruk voice acting
Can't we save a ton of data space, and game development budget, by just getting rid of voice actors and using something like Vocaloid instead? Invest that saved money into improving voice synthesis, if it doesn't sound good enough yet.

>using the edgy twitter skin
This is a grown up board, lad.

Who the fuck would buy this shit anyway ?
