Why is the patch 15 gb?

[Birb]

Seriously, what would justify such a chunk of an update?

mine is 60gb 😒

A new map, 2 new heroes, a bunch of skins probably. Who knows what else?

[Talon]

Two entire new characters and an entire new map, all with their own models, sound effects, textures, probably music, I would say thats the reason.

Probably verifying previous files or something like that,It was a 15 gb update for me, same as op.

Files get deleted and re-downloaded with updated content. Altough, we did get a new map so.. kinda stupit question?

It seems they don't want to delta patch so they just replace whole datafiles entirely. This means the download is yucky but no lengthy file reparsing like some games (Payday 2, ugh) and no significant impact to total game footprint on hard drive after patch is done.

6gb on ps5

That is not worth a whole 15 gb lol. DB: Sparking Zeor uses the same engine, has 180+ chraracters and the game does not require 15 GB for every character and map.

are you serious right now?

Just like your mama its only going to get bigger.

That's the current file size after the install is patched.

Are you just looking for something to yap about until they turn the game back on? Go read a book or take a walk bro.

Why is the patch 15GB, why is the maintenance so long, why this, why that. You people get a free, well-polished game, and you cannot stop crying and complaining about every single thing all the time. This is why we can't get good things.

mine is 120gb lol
