When I check NetLimiter- which is just being used to monitor traffic, it isn't limiting anything-it confirms that nothing is being downloaded. Every time I try now it gets stuck on 2.74MB and just sits there. Now I've tried everything but it won't download.
I tried it again and got up to about 10GB but needed to pause the download again to watch some Netflix and. Eventually it got to over 27GB before Windows 10 crashed - when I restarted the progress had been wiped out. When I first started to download the game it worked as expected until I paused the download and it had problems resuming the update. Unfortunately the experience has been even more miserable that I anticipated. When I redeemed it I discovered it was a Windows Store app but despite my dislike for the platform I figured there was no harm in trying it given the game was free. Yesterday my new graphics card arrived and came with a free copy of Gears of War 4.
