130 GB download?

[TheBattleForUranus]

Man I wish these game companies would figure out a way to have smaller downloads. WTF.

Ok. It changed to a 26 GB download. Better but damn.

29gb

[EvilNecroid]

even that is still huge

You've downloaded one of the biggest, most expansive and immersive video games in human history.

Or you've downloaded a *massive* patch to one of the most expansive and immersive games in human history -- a patch which includes tons of new video and audio content.

Computers aren't magic, you know?

People: complaining since release that Larian should add (things)
Larian: "okay, okay, we listen" & adds (things)
People: complaining that patches with (things) are "too big"

[EvilNecroid]

I was the first guy complaining about this when the game was 151gb and my poor SSD was on the brink of dying, they ended up reducing game files to 121 gb with a patch, they actually listen to the community and this patch...This patch brought a whole epilogue to the game so those 10gb really are worth it

With comments like this you're really bringing that reddit atmosphere in, I.E. acting incredibly patronizing while implicitly expecting everyone else to circlejerk along with you and adding absolutely nothing to the conversation. Classy. I suspect that this is what you do all day here - circlejerking and telling people to shove off if they dislike anything about the game you're part of the cult of.

For me it actually is redownloading the entire game right now(130.3 gb), so something clearly went wrong with the update process.

Same here. And same occurred on previous patches (which themselves are pretty monstrous in size). Takes me hours to patch, or to uninstall/re-install.

And this coming from an unapologetic BG3 fanboy. Love this game. And understand how/why it's so large in size. That aside, however, something seems really off about the process by which patches are downloaded/installed.
