Why i need to download 75gb...

[Just Mane]

1h a go when i check new patch size that was 28gb?
So why steam says 75....

Ask steam, not the NW community.

This has been a common spammed rant and yet, the answer has been ignored many times.

They could download it in the back round over time as you play and then if you have not played enough you need to down load the rest on patch day. Opps they have no bandwidth to spare. lol. They down load the whole game or scan your game and incrementally update. It makes no difference its a huge download every time.

Tis a PIA.

I live in the countryside. Best i can get is 15gb/hour.

I can understand big patches for map changes but todays patch size is to big for how little it actually contains.

The Devs have said they will look at making them smaller

AG cannot do much on their end when this is a Steam issue.

In general not an issue. Games got bigger, just like video files got bigger for better quality.
29gb download takes max 2 minutes and if you are on an SSD, the installation even with a 100GB update (aka rewriting all files pretty much) takes a few minutes max (most of the time CPU limited if SSD is fast enough).

2 min with my 4mbps/sec ?
more like 3 days full bandwidth

Yes but i have screen shot with 28gb patch to download. I pauze that (i was need to reset my PC) when PC stand up ill start download again but THEN steam says 85gb total and 75gb to downaload.... Thats so stupid. I got same situation on last patch...

You download 28 GB - but Steam is moving a total of 85GB on your Space. That's a regular Steam thing. It has nothing to do with NW. The total Patch Size is 28GB. You Download 28GB - the other 57GB is moving old and new decompiled Data in your Storage.

If you watch your DL you see it compile and verify the folder that the patch went to. If the folder it is going to **GB, then you will see it dump the patch into the folder and compile. Then repeat for the next packet. Afterwards, verify.

SO it goes through the whole folder a few times when there are several packets in a patch.

But yeah, this is not a NW problem. It's a Steam thing

Nope. with my download speed it takes 2hrs and 30 mins. Not fun coming back home wanting to play but can't. 28GB of data to download just for a few lines of code. LMAO.

Then stop using Steam.

Games are getting bigger and SSDs are becoming mandatory. Not for just programs, but for processes that were strictly ram oriented. Then you got the need for faster internet to keep up with large files and processes that require high speed data. If you are only working on the PC, you are not solving the problem as a whole.

It is only going to get worse for you cause tech is going that direction and Steam has not changed how the patching works since 2017 (I think). SO, you will be seeing this happen more and more with other games on Steam

There is always someone who defends this form of updating (that it takes 30 seconds with 1gbps of internet, that you do not have an ultra-fast SSD, etc.), but the fact that most games on Steam do not have these problems to update and correct some bugs, it is a topic that makes you think.

Yet, my link takes you straight to Steam general discussion. Not another game or NW. This means that it does happen in other games.

The only way you can make the post you did is if you own all Steam games. You do not. So your thinking only will give bias comments.

Quite simple

What people say and what they do are often different.
