Uhhh... Even Google translate is failing here.
What I get is: Something, something, update, something, very hollow bald head (what?), something SCS Software, TAA, something, flickering not stable, something, hollow skull (what?), something, another one.

AI goes on top!
"Hey, why is your update so big and frequent, SCS software? The TAA feature is not visually appealing, the images are flickering and unstable. Your skull is really messed up. One more thing I want to tell you, fix it, dude!"

Thanks for that.
@OP: It is a beta. What makes you think this thing is stable and finished or that it won't get frequent updates?

I get why there's frequent updates, but not why they are all so big, considering the changes or fixes that are made, which are not obvious when playing.
Also I don't have the issues OP have apparently. It runs and looks fine on my side.

Well, while changes in the game code may be small they need to be compiled into actual usable code and that can be quite big.
Though seeing the change logs there is a ton of stuff that is being changed.
More info on how the changes in the code are here:

It's just that we're used to small or average sized updates. And then suddenly you have to download the entire game again, kinda xD

Which is not surprising if you have a ton of under the hood changes. What SCS is adjusting and fixing here is the engine itself.

aku tengok live stream hari tu depa kata engine baru senang nak slip update dan aku expect kalau ada rumput atau pokok atas highway senang nak fix update harap harap beberapa mb sahaja, tapi hakikatnya kena download seluruh game terus, mampoih lagu ni! kepala otak scs memang geliga tiada tandingan.

You know what you signed up for when you went into the open beta. Read the announcement and look up what an open beta is.

Jangan marah marah abang serigala, saya cuma tanya saja, bukan nak gaduh gaduh ka apa ka, saya hargai abang wolfish respon banyak thread, saya pun paham benda ni experimental dan bukan game yang dah siap, jadi mulai hari ini saya expect kalau ada apa apa update mesti siap sedia bawah 20 GB, tak apa la. terima kasih kepada semua yg sudi reply pertanyaan saya termasuk serigala serigala dibawah SCS software Sdn. Bhd.

Permainan ini menggunakan tampalan delta daripada versi yang diterbitkan terakhir. Hanya fail yang diubah dimuat turun semula tetapi banyak perubahan enjin permainan teras telah dibuat sehingga banyak fail perlu dimuat turun. Disebabkan oleh pengehadan Steam setiap tampung delta versi beta daripada cawangan utama (1.49) dan bukan versi beta sebelumnya (1.50.0.xx).

Penjelasan mengapa saiz muat turun begitu besar telah disiarkan oleh Max daripada SCS Software dalam siaran ini[forum.scssoft.com] pada Forum SCS awal hari ini.

The game uses delta patching from the last published version. Only the changed files are redownloaded but a lot of core game engine changes have been made so many files need to be downloaded. Due to a Steam limitation each beta version delta patches from the main branch (1.49) and not the previous beta version (1.50.0.xx).

This clarification for why download sizes are so large was posted by Max from SCS Software in this post[forum.scssoft.com] on the SCS Forum earlier today.
