Those without a fast internet connection might be frustrated with the beta of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 – because there is no preload.
A preload is always a nice thing, especially if you don’t have a fast internet connection. You start the download a few days before the launch of the game or beta, download the files comfortably, and can then start immediately when the servers open. Not so with the beta of Star Wars: Battlefront 2.
Large Download, but no Preload
On PC, the download size is 15 GB, on PS4 it is 15.3 GB, and on Xbox One, you will download 13.2 GB. 15 gigabytes is a lot for slow lines. Community Coordinator Kevin Johnson confirmed that there will be no preload for the beta.
The testing phase starts today, on October 4th at 10 AM, for pre-orderers, so without preload. And everyone who wants to participate in the open beta on October 6th cannot download the necessary files beforehand.
Rush for the Files
This means that all players will have to wait at the start until the files have been downloaded. That brings two problems: Those without a fast internet connection cannot start immediately, but must wait for the slow download. Due to the rush of players on the servers, the download rates may be quite low because everyone is downloading the files at the same time.
