Update and update and..

[sam.origan]

I really like this game that i play until the end of act 1 but,

One thing make me stop playing it is all the updates you have every week. I do not have a great internet network so i cannot spent much time downloading instead of playing.

I know that massive game need to be ok regularly but it suppose a great connexion that some don't have. It is the biggest game i've seen.

Huh? There hasn't been a new update in months.

What version does it say you have installed right now?

[go fast, eat ass]

You can turn off the automatic updates in the game properties.

The next major patch shouldn't be until September if that helps. After that it should largely just be bug fixing and QOL updates.

I bought it when final release came. At the beginning you get major update regularly

I let the game few months ago. I see every week update maybe minor (i dont know the weight)

I m about to install it again (it will take a long time) and will be disapointed if i had to downloading a lot of Go again... Haha.

Ok ! Thanks !

Yeah, they were pushing out a lot of hotfixes early. It's stable now.

That was indeed the case for about six months. You stopped playing around the time that updates stopped being rolled out every few weeks, and sometimes even twice in the same week! 😉

I have also read on this forum that sometimes updates to eg drivers (?) can be disguised as updates to a game. What is certain is that no update to the BG3 game has happened since April, and none is expected before September.

Do any other games do that? If so, you have the option to download shader pre-caches from Steam which can download at frequent irregular intervals. That setting can be turned off in Steam and is not something done by the developers of the games. Just to make sure.

It's just a feature Steam implements to try to keep better gaming performance by tweaking the shader cache for specific games based on the games' last performance.

(While this feature is on, Steam is monitoring framerates, memory usage, disk usage, and such and will send a user-anonymized report to Steam upon closing the game for analysis to see if a change in the shader cache will improve performance. I don't know if Steam continues to monitor and report performance while the feature is off, but it doesn't download the pre-cache every few days for any games that might use it.)

So, should they not update the game for everyone else because of your slow internet connection?

Do you have shader pre-cache downloads turned on in Steam? Because those are the only "updates" I have seen in months.

No.

You can schedule them for when your sleeping you know. God, people and their first world problems, not even realizing it's not a problem. Just making it a cry fest instead of thinking, trying, to help themselves or ask others for insight. DO BETTER HUMANITY.

That only works if you don't want another game updating while you are playing a different game. Once you launch a game you have automatic updates turned off, it will update.

It's gotta be the shader thing. There's no other updates.
