Volunteer Moderator invincibleqc Posted July 16, 2021 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2021 The last update includes changes to 8 different products. The base game, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis 1, Genesis 2, Ragnarok, The Center and Valguero. Every DLC that you own, and that are currently installed on your machine, are independently updated.

Dzieciak Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 It's the same for me. It started as 6.1 GB patch yesterday evening. I left it for today. After more than one hour its status is 12.1 out of 15.3 GB downloaded and still rising... Together with ARK not even asking if it can download (despite auto-updates being OFF), that's an absurd. This game already occupies 300+ GB on HDD, but I assume it's still not enough. 😑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganelon Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 If you are playing on Steam, then you have control over downloading. You are probably set to auto-download... and if you try and play the incorrect version, it will try and download. If you are complaining about the size of the game... well, the game is what it is. No other game has this many huge multi-level maps that HAVE to be fully downloaded to client. The only vote you have is not to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT the fact that the game does that in this mannor is what kinda pissed me off! why doing like 4 different "loading bars" & not tell us users(wich WC dont care about i know) what will be the overall time we need to spend on a patch.... i mean you download something for like half an hour, just so another download starts with an hour long download/install, just to start yet another bigger one & after that another small one...... makes no sense & overthrows all attemps of planning the time needed! and the fact that @invincibleqc or any "volunteer moderator" needs to explain details about a patch in this (wannabe)"official"forum instead of telling us in the patchnotes "we have to patch all dlc`s, be prepared for a big Download" just shows again, how little WC gives a fudge about us........ thats whats mainly bothering me.... the non existent communication from wildcard to us PAYING customers!

After 3 years, at least, you would think you would know better. You shouldn't need volunteers explaining to you how this game updates by now.
