Download GTA 5 slowly - you can do that
If the download of GTA 5 is slow, just follow our tips below to get more speed:
- First of all, you should check whether your Internet connection currently reaches the speed specified by the provider or at least a speed that is sufficient for the download. To do this, perform the DSL Speedtest chip. In a separate article, we have provided tips on slow internet to help you with problems.
- During the download you should be connected to the Internet via LAN to get the maximum speed.
- You should not run other downloads or updates in parallel, but postpone them to later.
- If there are other users in the network in addition to you, it may be that they are currently performing a download or update. This limits the bandwidth available to you and therefore the download speed.
- Ultimately, the Internet speed is limited by your connection. In this case, you cannot speed up the download. Some means can be used to rule out at least one management problem.
More tips
- If you want to download the game using the Steam client, there may be other reasons for the poor download speed. Make sure you have no download restrictions enabled in Steam and switch to a different download server.
- Unfortunately, these approaches do not work when downloading from the Rockstar Social Club. Here it can help to delete the file x64 * .rpf.part and x64 * .rpf.hash (* = random letter) in the download directory of GTA 5 and then continue the download.
- The servers of Steam or Rockstar Games may currently be simply overloaded, which is why you cannot download the game at full speed. Then try again later.
