General question about technicle side of downloading games from Steam/Epic Games.


Recommended Posts

So this is just something I've been curious about. I start the download process on a game I acquired through either Steam or Epic Games. Using Epic Games for this particular example, the download status shows three progress bars, "Download", "Read", and "Write". The "Write" speed is consistently approximately 17 faster than the "Download" speed. Just where is all that data its writing coming from? I don't care how good data compression is, there is no way they are squeezing it down THAT tight.
