Another update, 6GB?

[Izzy]

Downloaded the update this morning, 2GB. Ok, all fine. Played for a bit, completed the event, left the game. Now i boot it up and there's 6GB more to download. Wut?

yes it's normal, the problem is, because of how the game is packaged, if a certain update were to tinker with something within the game fundamentals, it would require repackaging the entire section just to update a small section of it.

To clarify, usually these big size updates are not you installing new stuff, It's just reshuffling of in-game files and components to include the tiny new update that is added. so you don't have worry about this game taking 10GB each update. it's usually less then 500mb actually added to the game.

Basically the game have a major skill issue in it's fundamental game design but hopefully it will be fixed in future updates.

It just caught me off guard because that didn't happen before. The size itself is not a problem, its just that I wanted quickly hop on, turn enkephalin into boxes and log off for the day, didn't expect a sudden update.
