When a new update coming to beta its coming with 12gb update, i hope this problem will fix before 31 march.

For each update? They're always like 1-3GB for me.

Steam is downloading a 18.2go update for me is that normal ?

 

[TheSlowKnightofNi]

Mine updates were much smaller tbh

i'm also having the same issue, i waited for a 12gb update and then it said it had to restart it!

 

[stevehoos]

I had this problem, I had to reinstall the whole game.

 

[bobolobobnobby]

ugh, i really don't want to have to do that.

 

[bigbalzzz]

switching between alpha and beta is always 6g for me like i already ve the files downloaded.... new game stuff as steam doesnt know how to handle it

steam can't do binary patching. valve has been asked for this feature since at least 2005. no response, no improvements.

outside of steam, you downloaded a 5mb executable to patch your game, in steam, you download an entire 15gb archive because 1kb inside it was changed.

True; I have it on good authority this will never be patched into Steam because it will increase publisher support risk and costs.

i don't know if it's true, but someone also told me steam gets money from bandwidth usage, so more downloading more money. might just be hearsay however

so just have to hold my breath and download it then?
