Yes. That's what we have been told.
Yes, but to be fair, it's worth noting that someone here posted a reply to DM saying that he will probably do Ep5, but it will be a purely technical split of the episode due to too much weight of the game archive. But unlike in previous years, where this was also practiced, I think that we may be waiting not for the usual “Ep4v16”, but, for example, Ep4 v10, after which this very ep4 split will take place and the remaining 6 (or rather even less) updates will be placed into "Ep5".

1080p version of ep3 is 16.7 GB. Ep4 at v9 is 11.2 GB. Why would ep 4 have a too heavy archive when it is still over 5 GB lighter than ep3? I guess he might be anticipating being well over 16 GB by the time he finishes ep4 so v10 might be a good point in the episode to split it?

I also noted this last update that the download speed to update the game was very slow and would have taken almost an hour. I ended up downloading the whole episode again using Mega. Which took about 5 minutes. So maybe there are other factors than just the weight of the archive affecting this decision.

How many megabytes of connection do you have? :oops:o_O.

A timeless classic, haha. ;) Actually, it was a glorious time...I was a young teenager then, but there was a certain romance in that access to the internet..It was a mystery, I would say..:) It was like dialing a number and calling not just anyone, but the internet itself... followed by a special set of certain beeping and hissing connection sounds, and there it was - connection established!:geek: And now we have these mega speeds and we just don't think about it...The Internet has become as commonplace as a bus on the street.

No need for people to wet their pants. It might have been closer to 10 minutes. I didn't have my stopwatch to hand counting it down.:) I generally get download speeds of about 14 to 16 MB/s from MEGA. So it would of been just over 10minutes.
The point being it was a lot quicker to download the whole episode than it was to download just the update through whatever DM uses for us to use the "update game" function.

By the way how dare anyone put that ugly hat on Monica.:(

same for me with last update. But even direct download from DM server was slow. But in time server channel was only 20% loaded by his words. So problem is somethere else.

i have 1000/1000 Mbps but i can never get over 30 mb/s at mega
As I understand it MEGA is hosted in New Zealand. I'm a little closer to that country than you are. I just said my usual speeds. When the internet gods are in my favour I get speeds up to 25MB/s. Believe it or not MEGA is the fastest file host for me by far.

The problem is that a regular user with a free Mega account is limited to 4 GB for 1 download session...After that you have to either reconnect to the Internet (if you have a “gray” IP), or wait several hours, or figure out something else...And users with a "white" dedicated IP in this sense are even more unlucky (and I am among them), this way of reconnecting to the provider will not help them at all. And they need to act in some other ways (VPN, proxies, etc. things)...So in this sense, despite the traditionally high load on DM servers (in the first hours after the game release), it was the “update game” function that was fastest for me.

yes they promise that
but in irl they are slow compared to other filehosts
As a long time Mega user, I can say that it is quite fast (and what Ostego wrote about 30-50MB/sec depending on time) is also true...(at least for me and Ostego, living in the same city)..But only Pixeldrain is still faster (at least for me) and only this service was able to fully utilize all the bandwidth of my connection.

for Fashion Buisness Episode 4, I'm trying to go on Victoria's content but I can't go past "Beginning of Transformation" event and reach the "Model contract" event where it doesn't show up... Do I have to do another thing to continue on after getting Melanie a tattoo? I have the latest update v9.02...
Also It sucks that Grace scene was hidden behind the activation wall... :(

Silver_Crow117, are you playing Fashion Business?:eek: This is the revelation of the year.;)

Regarding the transformation and the quest Model contract, tre looking at first

If that doesn't help, we'll think further..:) There are usually no problems with getting new content, so it's hard for me to say anything specific about it. Anyway, maybe agn25, vimmers or Ostego know more about it and will be able to help you. As for activation, vimmers knows about it.
