Speed up your Download
As both platforms (Uplay and Steam) are working similar when it comes to downloading games and updating existing files, here’s a way to actually reduce your download size from 40 GB to like 5-7 GB as it will automatically detect the changes and only download the required remaining files. (Source)
- Start your game client (Uplay/Steam).
- Start the download of the PTS client.
- Stop the download (game client might need to be closed now).
- Locate your game client’s directory and copy the contents of the existing The Division folder to the for the PTS newly created one.
