Reduce update size massively

[ksk_phr33k]

A game with 56GB that gets periodically 45+GB updates is ludicrous and so extremely annoying. You literally force me to stick to an old offline version where I'm not able to get promised updates for a game I paid for. This game is one of my worst experience so far on Steam, well done :(

dont tell this man about cod, gta or world of warcraft.

$40 gets you 2TB now.

uh ? The game is like less that 50 GB on latest update, 45GB updates are NOT added to the installation, it is 45GB of "changes" So a large update may have a very little impact to the actual final installation size.

Step 1: buy a game in active development.

Step 2: Complain about updates.

Step 3: ?????

Step 4: Profit!

What he said.

Man if we ever get a game that drops 45GB of CONTENT i'm all for it.

So my metered connection just hallucinates the 45GB update traffic then?

I'm not complaining about updates, I'm complaining about the completely unreasonable sizes of it. My game installation is 56GB btw.

And you know what, if you want you actually could just patch the updated files instead of going the lazy "I'll just ship GB's of archive even if I changed only a few files" way.

"My internet connection is fast enough so it's not my problem..." doesn't help here.

The minimization of traffic would because it would allow more "customers" to actually use the paid products in full extend.

I am aware of this and it's sad because it just just disables certain gamer from playing it at all. I moved my PC to a friend to install RDR2 and Doom
