Game redownloads itself..

Scorcher24 · 10-24-2011, 04:53 PM

Was there a patch? Nothing in the Newsfeed.
Anyone else got this rather big patch?
I don't mind the bandwidth, just curious.

Yup.
504mb download.
No idea what it is...

Scorcher24 · 10-24-2011, 04:57 PM

It is rather surprising because the game worked flawlessly for me.
Oh well, hopefully we get some info

It does appear to be downloading the whole thing again for some reason.

Unless they have amazingly added new content to the quantity of the original game

I’m quite certain it’s a ♥♥♥♥-up on Steam’s side again.

504mb patch to a 505mb game..hmmm..

Same here.

Found out what it was http://i53.tinypic.com/2cn49g.png

Nothing to see folks! Move along!

That sounds more like a 2 MB fix, not the whole game re-downloading O_o

If the game is stored in one big file and there is a change in that file the WHOLE file has to be downloaded again (unless they use the new patching method which most games don't yet).

Well it isn't. It is many small files.
