18.76 GB "Patch" on GamePass/Windows Store

[Overon]

Why the hell is an 18.76 GB "patch" now available on Gamepass/Windows Store? That's the size of the original game when I first downloaded it when it came out on day one. What the hell is happening is this how games get "patched" on Window Store? They just make you re-download the whole game when there is a patch released? Come on, respect people's data caps. It's 2021.

Do Steam users have the same patch? I've been trying to find the patch notes for it without any luck.

I guess that's why we pay $1 to play on game pass. I just started getting this update after launching it for the first time in a week and came here looking for info but it seems it literally just released there. From what I can tell I think Steam users already got this patch like a week ago and we're just getting it late

Yea ♥♥♥♥ this ♥♥♥♥. I wanted to play today, start the game and boom 18 gb patch, which is like 3 hour download for me. At least let me play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing without updating it. I DON'T NEED ANY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ UPDATES.

I should have pirated the game. No idea why I bothered with the stupid game pass.

Worst part is this isn’t even the latest patch. Game Pass version will always be two weeks behind Steam version. Stupid

Behind Steam I can understand whit Microsoft's slow approval process. They should improve that. But forcing you to re-download the whole game because a patch came out is totally insane.

https://twitter.com/DoubleFine/status/1438218000092573696?s=19 Their official Twitter has a post about it. It does appear to be the latest patch. It's most likely bigger for gamepass as this is that versions first patch as compared to steam which has been getting several patches.

There was a 14GB patch for the Steam version about two weeks ago. I don't know how many patches there have been total for the Steam version until now, but I know there have been at least three. There was a small patch shortly after launch, then that 14gb patch, and then about a week later another small patch.

Oh does this finally fix the softlocking in the journal/inventory screens?!?
Been waiting to play this but it has been nigh impossible so far with that bug.

EDIT: Woohoo, infinitely more playable now. Much smoother with the stutter removed also as mentioned in that tweet. Can't believe there's people here complaining about this, sheesh.

I think it can vary from game to game. Some games just cannot be patched conveniently and have to be redownloaded when something is changed. Same on Steam. I wanted to go hunting for the remaining collectibles when the patch started.

So has the DX12 stutter on the Steam version been fixed now as well?

Heres the patch notes:

Version 1087071 addresses the following issues:
The player could get stuck in Cruller's Correspondence if they quit after hitting the first lever and then resuming the game.
The player could get stuck if they view the final tableau with Bob in the Mote of Light's quiet place and then quit and resume the game.
The player may not be able to proceed past the Nose/Mouth Shrine due to missing instruments after the Panic Attack battle.
The player could skip the moth introduction cutscene in Bob's Bottles and get blocked from progressing further.
The player could get stuck if they unlocked Otto's gadgets in the post-game state and then quit without triggering a checkpoint.
Poses for Otto-Shot were not available in the Windows version of the game.
The Steam version of the game would fail to start on Windows 7.
Frequent hitching in the Windows Store / Game Pass version of the game.
Version 1087126 addresses the following issues:
The player could get blocked in Strike City.
Unblock players stuck in the dam section.
Video playback issue in the Hollis' Hot Streak area.
Soft lock related to mouse control in the Field Manual menu.

Unfortunately patch change nothing for me :( It still stutter. I make some brief comparison frametime with another UE4 platformer and 2 worst optimized PC games. And it shows that P2 game pass version works worse than them :(

If anything the stuttering is worse with this patch. There are sometimes big stutters for 5 seconds or so when it's trying to load a new area in the background. It looks like the game is having a fit.

With the people suffering from stuttering, perhaps posting your system specs would be more informative for helping. e.g. CPU, ram amount, vid card, and if the game is installed on an M.2 SSD, SATA SSD, or a HDD.

This should be much more than enough to run the game smoothly. However, it's not and the patch made it worse. As I said in another thread: I wish developers would give advanced users the option to precompile all the shaders in the game based on the settings and driver version used and to save it to disk. I would like this option even if it took hours for the user to do this with a warning that this could be the case.
