Maybe some of this information will help. My problem is weird, but it does point to a potential flaw in the patcher, and I've been unable to get Uprising installed since the first hotfix was rolled out.
First, I know my connection is gimped. I'm using my Android phone as a hotspot because I'm still waiting on proper house internet. My connection will drop, throw up 'hey you're 600gb over your daily allowance please for the love of god stop and click here to continue' webpages, overheat the phone and need restarting, and suffer wildly variable download speeds. I'm pretty sure it doesn't support UPnP either, and have disabled it in the PS3 network settings as a result.
Despite this, everything else gets there eventually. Torrents, game downloads, video, you name it. On PC and PS3, they weather the storm.
Dust's update system doesn't. The game's PSN download will always finish, eventually, even if the phone needs restarting a couple of times. It's never broken, corrupted or failed on me. But once the in-game client update starts, it'll run fine for a while, and then at a certain point, fail permanently. Often at exactly the same point. Any attempt to restart and resume the download will leave it sitting at 0.0% (or occasionally 2.something%) of whatever total I hit before it choked. This cycle has happened at least ten times over the course of the last two weeks. No error message, no rollback, just an initial burst of healthy activity followed by a freeze in transfer speed at the start of a new chunk, even when my spotty connection has long since recovered.
HARD INFOES:
My latest attempt is stuck at 923.15MB with the percentage at 0.29% and zero transfer speed. It's stopped at exactly this number a few times now. The transfer speed will never rise above zero, no matter how many times I retry, or how long I wait. The first 300mb of transfer went as normal. Sometimes, when I restart, the bar will instead read 0.0% complete and the size will have increased slightly to 925mb. Since nothing has downloaded since the last attempt, it seems like it might be confused about what it has and what it still needs to get?
