Current Events > What in the FUCK is with Hogwarts Legacy PS5 disc copy time??

(+) Yeah! (+)

85 fucking hours left? It's copying like 100 kb/s what the fuck is this shit?

This is ridiculous

Hell I coulda downloaded it faster, and my internet is complete shit

My transfer speeds are almost a gig.... you done fuckered something up sir.

Mine was like 20 minutes until it reached the playable time. Methinks something is wrong with your disc drive, or (hopefully) just the disc

It's on purpose to give you time to read the book series before starting

I made this topic on the PS5 board and

Hoo boy lol

Your network is indeed SHITE!

No seriously change your settings and redownload cuz it's probably hanging on.

This. It was 20 minutes until I could play and maybe closer to an hour total

I've barely used the damn PS5

And does it just download some of the game while copying from the disc too?

This is what happens when you try to game in 56k

@Lost_All_Senses got my back

I had that issue with both Forspoken and Hogwarts Legacy. Neither would install off the disc, they both forced me to download it.

I've had other games try that, but if I disconnect from the internet they'll go off the disc instead. Neither of these would though, they'd just give a "cannot install" error.

It's downloading patches while simultaneously installing but obviously this is only ideal if your internet is good lol

How PS5 disc installs work is that if you have your PS5 connected to the internet, it will always install a portion of a game off the disc, and then the rest off the internet. It does that because normally with a average internet connection speed nowadays this will get the full game installed faster than any current disc reader or whatever reading speed can.

However, if someone is dealing with some jank internet (which is understandable. There is still way too m any areas in ol' murica' where someone is stuck out in the middle of nowhere and the only thing available is slow ass satellite internet or like, having to use a mobile phone hotspot or something), then this will end up being slow as shit, like with what the TC showed lmao.

If you want your PS5 to install the initial data all off the disc, then intentionally disconnect your PS5 off the internet. Just uncheck the connect to internet box in your PS5 network settings and its going to be a good deal faster getting everything installed off disc.

*Lmao @ that shit show of a topic on the PS5 boards.*

Yes, I really wish Sony made it more clear this is what happens with PS5 disc installs, especially considering it only happens with games that actually let you play a portion of the game before it's fully installed.

However the main problem with Hogwarts Legacy is that the entire game isn't even on the disc in the first place. If you disconnect from the internet and just install what's on the disc, it's about 59 GB of data, and then there's a mandatory update that's like 35 GB in size that needs to be downloaded once you reconnect to the internet.

Didnt know he was like that on other boards. He is on the WWE board for PPVs. During any event, he just targets like 2-4 people and just gets on their case if they dare say anything that criticizes WWE or the performers.

Then again, thats the only place Ive ever seen him. I shouldnt be too surprised.

You should see his posts on the anime board.

Man you guys are making me feel like I'm missing out on a big troll/shitposter. I don't hang around those boards so I've never heard of him.

Nah he's not a troll. He believes everything he says.
