No, just 4,1 GB .... the other files are file operations on your disk

I am having the same issue.
I only have 500Gb disk space which is full naturally, and every time there is an update i cant update because it requires half of my disk to be free for no reason.
I know the patch is only 4Gb or so, but the free space requirements makes this unrealistic due to disk space.

omg do i have to uninstall and reinstall the game whenever there's a new patch??

Go to "manage DLC" tab and uncheck "high-resolution assets", which is around 50+ GB. Visually there is no difference at all (unless you're playing on 4K resoultion on big ass TV), but game takes way less space since then (around 50 GB versus 100+ GB when "high-resolution assest" is checked), and updates won't take as much when working with files, just make sure there is 60+ GB of space available when updating.

It's not a 90GB patch. It just modifies that much data because of package sizes.
Welcome to modern gaming.

Yeah, that's what it showed before and after but only downloaded and installed about 8 GB. I waited til was gonna go to bed then saw it said would take about 5 mins when I expected it to take like 1 hr 40 mins. Very confusing.

What's this latest patch even for? I can't see any patch notes.

Thank you so much for this!!!! I barely managed to install the game and only left with 10Gb of free memory, so couldn't install yesterday's update. I uninstall then try to download again, but I had to switch off the computer half way through, and couldn't get the download to resume coz ahahaha, no disk space removed that DLC and now I only need 68Gb for the whole thing! My potato pc definitely won't be able to enjoy all that fancy graphics anyway

It even says "wird gepackt" instead of "herunterladen". So technically it downloads the patch and then updates all the already installed files.

90 isn't all...I wanted to install back D4 as per this season and spotted on the info panel that it need "122GB" and that's quite a lot, or it just BS misleading info??

What was that? Was the update about 10,000 shared item slots?

That's patching, not the download.

Reading is fundamental, bud.

Indeed reading comprehension failure, also in their own native tongue (german/deutsch).

Also about the download page itself. (hate the new variant, at first like was oo fancy)
When something isn't actively updating or paused at the top, you can see only the install size (aka the amount of patched files).
When the update is at the top, then you only see the download size, and install size is % of an unknown number you had to remember or guess check it in library.
And when the update/patching is finished, you will see only the install size, but not the download size anymore.
