why am I updating 13GB for a skin update

[snak]

title. seriously what the ♥♥♥♥?

These clowns can't even manage to keep their servers running for more than a week at a time without hours of down time every tuesday night. What a joke.

[Baby2Chill]

Seems like they make you uninstall and reinstall the whole game or at least 50% of it everytime they update, enjoying it as new player but the fact you guys been okay with this for 7 years is just ridiculous. Easy to just say nah I'm good and play other games.

[Fili-Finka]

they probably added more tits or buts revealing skins

[Kooka]

what time is update/maintenance finished?

[LORDofSMGs]

[Léon]

It's just one thing they changed but the problem is, many don't think further.

If they change something about the maps, the whole map has to be replaced and yes, one map has up to 4gb, if not more.

Hidden changes like anti-cheat etc, not include.

There is absolutely no justifiable reason to require the entire user base to re-download the entire game once a week, every week. That is absurd. It only reflects on the poor management of this title by krafton.

PUBG gets a big update every month not every week and I don't know what games you play but others have up to 100gb and more.

It seems, you either won't or can't get a dated fast internet connection but that isn't the fault of any game.

We don't have 2010 anymore so 15gb once every 4 weeks is totally fine.
Even more if you compare it with other games.

What are you even talking about? PUBG is literally the only game in my library that updates weekly AND has it's servers offline for over 8 hours every week as well. 15 gb every week is pretty ridiculous, and my connection speed has nothing to do with it, rather, as I said earlier, this is indicative of a poorly organized studio that can't manage proper development cycles. This game is abnormal in how often and large it's updates are, unless you can provide some actual examples of other games that do more.

Maintenance once a week and one major update every 4 weeks is normal.
Just because certain games never have a downtime, doesn't mean they do better.

In fact, Apex does so and it's worse about many points.

If you have no idea about the matter, you shouldn't speculate, because each way to maintenance has pros and cons.

I also don't know important parts but I don't blame them.

Valorant has the best possible coding and even there, major updates have a server downtime so it probably has something to do with Unreal Engine, because both use them.

https://esports.gg/guides/valorant/valorant-server-scheduled-maintenance/

Even Steam has a downtime every Tuesday between 10 and 20 minutes so your point about cycles makes no sense.

Ark leads about the size of the game and since I played it in the past, it easily outplays all games in terms of updates/size/how often, and no, it doesn't mean they do bad either.

So 13GB to update maps when the only thing they added was some gay-ass stages to promote some jeans or some other BS?

...tell me what other changes to the maps were there?
