Big “Day One Patches” are coming for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019. As the countdown to release is underway, we will show you what you need to know about the updates.
Release prerequisite: Soon the official release of Modern Warfare will take place on October 25. If you purchased Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as a disc version, you will need to download two large updates at launch before you can play. These patches are important for the game to run.
How big are the two patches? It seems that your internet connection will have to work hard before you can play the official release of Modern Warfare. Initially, there will be an update with a download size of about 30 gigabytes. However, according to early players, this is still the smaller update.
After that, a 57-gigabyte download is set to start, which is necessary to play Modern Warfare. In total, nearly 90 GB will need to be downloaded. For players with slow internet connections, this will take a few hours before they can grab their character and join the battlefield. The first players are already playing Modern Warfare and say that a lot is better now.
It is unclear what exactly is included in these updates. However, regardless of which mode you want to play in Modern Warfare, downloading this content is mandatory. Additionally, your PC must meet these requirements for Modern Warfare.
On Reddit , user Gladsnation55 posted a photo of the download of the second patch. He received the game early through a seller. According to him, the download started automatically when he inserted the game.
In the comments there, users mention that such a download would take particularly long for them.
How long does the download take? Downloading 90 gigabytes takes on average:
- 12 – 13 hours at DSL 16,000
- About 10 hours at Cable 20,000
- About 4 hours at VDSL 50
- About 2 hours at Cable 100,000
However, these are just rough estimates. Additionally, the quality of the internet connection and the availability of the servers play a role. If hundreds of thousands of players rush to the update simultaneously, there could be technical issues.
