This. It's called a "diff", ie- the differences between the version on the steam servers, and your local copy. Only the differences are downloaded, but it takes a lot of file shuffling and copying to insert the new bits in the old files.

Regarding "daily updates", or every time you run the game, there are some backup and restore programs which are a little on the aggressive side and will override updates from other programs.

Make sure you don't have some sort of system backup and restore software running constantly or nightly that may be interfering with updates.

Its patching 13gb worth of pre-existing data. The actual update was like 2mb if you look closely, but the files get spread around to different area of the games' code as its stored.

Still, thats no reason to dig up a 9 year old post on here. This is some of the worst necroing ive ever seen, and all for a misunderstanding that you think they somehow created 13gb worth of data to add to the game since....yesterday?

How can a programming team of a few people even create 1gb of data to add to a program in a day? Think about how ridiculous that would be. It took them years to create this game and its only like 20GB.

Real strange you get to call people "moron" around here.

Its not a 13 GB update.

Open your Rust folder and look how big the folder is. Mine is 27GB total. If they just added 13GB, that means the whole game before this week was only 14GB.

Do you think Rust thats had probably 1000+ updates by now, is only 14GB and they actually just added 13GB this week?

How does that work? Using your logic, if this update was 13GB and every other update is 5-10GB, then Rust should be consuming TERRABYTES of data by now....
