Any way to actually view the size of an update (download wise) while it's in my queue?

[Shinji Ikari]

So, my internet isn't great. I like to choose when to update things so I'm not taking up bandwidth. But I also can't tell if an update is going to download 2.9 gbs of files, or like 100mbs of files based on the queue. It seems to indicate how much data is going to be patched when the update is applied, not how much data I'm about to download.

Either that or I just downloaded 3 gbs of data in about 12 seconds, which I'm going to say didn't happen. Not with my internet speeds.

Is there a way to view how much is going to actually DOWNLOAD so I can plan around that instead of how much will be patched (info which is basically useless to me)

In the download list the size indicated is the size of the data to be patched within the game install. It is not the size of the game install, nor the size of the patch.

When you click to download the size of the actual patch is in the top right, with the data being patched below it.

Example: Total War Warhammer 3:

Data to be patched 17.9gb - download size/patch size 253.1mb.

Why was it changed? Because of the posts about the full game being re-downloaded and not understanding about patching.

Using this picture as an example, can you let me know which is the data to be patched and which is the download amount? I'm still confused

In your image that is the download size of the patch.

To provide context i have linked two images.

(Please note: Total War: Warhammer 3 is 113.12gb installed).

First image shows 48.1gb of data to be patched of the game install of 113.12gb.

Second image shows the size of patch 238mb (Note: being patched into the 48.1gb).
