I’ve just bought the ultimate BF4 from game in UK for PC. I was wondering whether there would be anything else I’d need to download after installation that is of a substantial size? I have a really (like REALLY, we’re talking 0.6 Mbps) slow internet connection (just enough to play no lag mp games if no one else is browsing) and I don’t really wanna wait a day for something to download before I can play. Thanks!!! ---

The multitude of patches that have been released since the release of the game as well as any packs like China rising ect. ---

Thanks! China rising is included on the discs I think. How large are the patches though? ---

Really unsure. I’m just a bf4 reddit browser that plays on the xbox one. But I know with my copy I only received a code to download China rising and than premium was second assault. Xbox hasn’t had as many patches as pc, but I know there have been quite a few out. Could check the changelog if they have one posted or hopefully someone on pc stops by.. ---

A couple gigs each. It takes about an hour for everything to download. I heard that disconnecting your xbox from the internet will force the content to install from the disc, which is faster. I just installed it with the internet on though, because i had just bought my Xbox One and wanted to check out some of the online features. Check out [/r/battlefield\_4](http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_4) for answers to your questions. The community is a little bigger, and more active. ---

I think ~5 gb for patches maybe more. ---

My Bf4 folder is 28,6Gb including China rising. Estimate by how many dvds you got (2?, 3?) and the rest is what need to be downloaded (its a lot) Beyond that its the Battlelog plugin for your browser, but thats only a few Mb Sorry man ---

Depends, some can be as high as 12GB (I haven’t seen a patch of that size in BF4 yet though, BF3 had one of that size) ---

Ah that shouldn’t be too bad then. Are the all the updates done through the networking app (can’t remember it’s name)? Cos Ive only got a 1GB one queued at the moment. ---

Don’t forget to update video drivers. Steam never notified me about the new ATI drivers I needed. ---

the [better battle log](http://getbblog.com/en/) browser extension is quite nifty. it lets you customize the look of your battlelog, and it gives you extended statistics on weapons and your own performance. Not totally necessary, but it’s a nice addition without any performance hit to browsing the site. I also downloaded Teamspeak so that I can chat with squadmates, but that’s purely optional since the in-game voice chat is adequate. ---

do the game folder copy trick with a friend. obviously you need to enter a valid cd key (which you have)
