Slow patch download

[MacDeath]

That very slow (and fluctuating) download speed is typically caused by the router security level and/or which ports are open.
If your router security level is set to Medium or higher it will slow you down. Set it to low or turn it off or add Trion.games as a trusted site.

So at the CS reps advice I forwarded the ports on my Router (Xfinity SMC) and that RESOLVED the issue!

Apparently the MEDIUM Security Setting on this Router blocks the game. When I lowered it to Low (not advised!) I was able to connect instantly!

If you want to just forward the ports, the PC Client Ports are: 80, 443, 50000, 65000, 40000-41000.

If you aren't sure how to do this, you can check out sites like portforward.com.


In adition to the port address we got from CS, I remember that RIFT downloader/patcher wanted ports 6520 thru 6540.

i dont think thats the problem, i had no issues d/l rift at launch, and this went from max speed down to about 1/3 then after 45 mins back upto half then 20 mins later upto full again, if it was a router issue it wouldnt have d/l at full speed for the first 2 hours and i probably would have had issues when i d/l rift, also i have never had any other internet issues.

Haha im in Australia, way away from the North American servers im downloading from and have been going a stable .50 MBps for half the download so far (which is our normal internet speed anyway), sucks to be you guys!

Forwarded my ports to no avail.

I'm getting .2 mb/s, after I had it downloaded 90% done then it failed.. looking at a 15 hour wait

2 - 2.2MB/s here constantly for the last like 20mins. 1/5 done already with 1hr left to go.

Normal speed is around 2.6MB/s so i'm not going to complain about not hitting max speed

Ya know, considering how much latency/bandwidth caps and what not you guys have to deal with....you deserve to rib us a bit. Well played, have fun in game!
