Allow updates to be downloaded in the background

[somber anvil]

Current update method for Playstore requires a 1.5 Gb download from the APK and a subsequent 3Gb or more download after installing new apk.

This usually takes quite a long time and leaves the phone unusable until it's done, slower download speeds making this wait-time even longer.

Please consider allowing for the in-game download to be run in the background (secondary update service) similar to how Play Store handles APK updates.

As reference, APK updates from Playstore allow the download to run in the background as a service and allow the user to still interact with the phone's other applications.

This kind of suggestion comes to my mind and was planning to post it but it seems this OP already suggested it. So I'll just up this suggestion via comment.

Please read this Kuro Games, PGR needs to implement a Queue system for downloading in-game resources.

I also suggested this awhile ago.

Just make the download progress bar persistent in the notification, and its done. Easy. Very easy.

This is really a must have feature. I really hate to wait if my internet is so slow, and the in-game download we had as of now may cause some devices to overheat.

Indeed. You're absolutely right, we need it urgently.

A simple but life changing feature. I hope they consider adding this.
