Why did I just receive notice of a 21.4GB update for the game???

[Razguul]

[Scripted]

Me too!!!!
Also 30.3gb per Contract 1!

[Zabata]

Same..
https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/15075608/ there is no detail though only the files that were updated.

[Sad Muppet]

It's for both Contracts 1 & 2 - also given one or both are now on Epic, wonder if it's cross platform of something (still seems excessive tho)

[paulknox]

Contracts 1 has a 30GB update also. Engine update maybe?

[PREDATOR]

Same here. Over 20 GB of updates for Contracts 2.

Unfortunately, I suspect that they've messed up and included a lot of SGW3 files in the archives. I've only downloaded the SGWC1 update so far, and it's full of SGW3 assets like characters, textures, etc. Sloppy development environment stuff.

The games are way larger than they need to be now. Shouldn't affect most people, to be fair. Other than that, I'm not sure what they've changed. Some people are reporting that Contracts 1 lost its MP.

I don't particularly like when a game gets a random update without official releasenotes, the fact that there is an update is nice, but what is it about?.

It's weird though, especially when the size of installation is 14.29GB and the update is 20GB. So for now paused until I know what is going on and whether it will effect my savegame or the gameplay.

Edit: Downloaded the update, game still runs, savegame is still there. Considering that I just picked up SGWC1 for free in the epic store I guess it has to do with that.

i will uninstall the game until i know whats inside that large update.
release note or Bye bye.

It has to be a new DLC coming which is already in the game.

[Chaos]

Maybe some 4K "nextgen" resources crap...

I've had at least 5 games try to do stealth updates this week. Based on what's being discussed with KSP1 it sounds like Steam is having problems.

[OVTSIDER]

idk what's in that update but first time that my game crashed while roaming the tunnels of the second map.

I can tell you what happened, I have a backup of both c1 and c2 made last year on my server and the were 15.3gb and 13.8gb respectively, c1 was released on egs today, as a freebie. Both games got texture pack updates. I want to personally thank Timmy Joe Jim Knob at epic games for the donation to CI and our new texture packs. btw C1 tripled in install size and c2 is 38gb now. Taaa....
