Shouldn't game patches like this be released overnight during off-peak hours? Fortnite releases their updates around 3 or 4am when most ISP's networks are at their lowest utilization. It seems somewhat reckless to release such a large patch during awake hours.
I can't speak for PS4 and PC, but xbox does have a setting to keep the console in a state that allows the device to download updates when it is 'off' but I've noticed that the consoles don't always follow that rule and the update starts downloading when the user powers on the console, which is usually during peak hours. If this worked properly, it would be great since most of the updates would download while users were at school, working, sleeping, etc. On Sat, Jan 25, 2020 at 1:36 PM Darin Steffl <darin.steffl () mnwifi com> wrote:
