Why is the patch 15 gb?

[Birb]

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

Do you have issues with the update as well? Mine reaches 33GBs and magically resets back to 30 and it forever loops

On Epic Games client patch is:

download: 17 GB

repack / patching: 60 GB

Game size after patch 61 GB, it was 65 GB before Season 1.5 patch was applied.

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

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.

that would be atleast 15 gb not 48 wth?!

[Upbob]

120gb for me. Are they having a laugh?

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.

The guy is asking a question, you are the one getting worked up about it, instead of posting hate comments why don't you go take a walk?

To be fair the dude you are talking to called the game well polished when many people with top of the line pc suffers from crashes/stuttering sooo i don't know why you even bother talking to them. It is a good game but well polished ehhhh

It was 60GB but when I clicked update it went back to 15GB lol Steam is out of its mind.

try updating it from the account you have it downloaded on lol. it should be 15gb

[AspiringDILF]

All these dweebs using the same garbage joke. 🤦🏻‍♂️ yea I saw the 15gb , instantly uninstalled. This game is terrible, but I did try.

Supposedly this is regular for unreal engine games.
Its not 15gb of content (well it COULD have cosmetic skins but not 15gb worth).

IIRC the UE is like.. Full of Modules or some sh**.
"you cant update 1 line of code without redownloading the whole module."

The future is here

Previous patches were smaller, this is whole game repack.

2 characters and skins for them, a new stage, and sound effects for everything.

And that's not to mention all the tweaks to characters and new options added.

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.

That's a terrible example with lower res models, the stages are way less intricate, fewer skins, lower quality audio, and fewer voice lines. (I got every achievement in Sparking Zero. I've experienced literally everything that game has to offer)
