    Default Large Napoleon Update?

    Hello all,

    I just got back after picking up my pre-order for NTW *Emperor's Edition* and just finished installing the two discs worth of data. (20921 MB). I just tried to run it and the game started updating, apparently it only has a fix for the chat room and a compatability thing for this other program. Right now its up to 350 MB and is only 4% finished. That means it could reach up to 4000MB of space, which is a killer on my awful 160KB/se connection.

    Is this update really this large? Am I missing something from my installation? Surely the unit addons which come with Imperial Ediiton/Emperor's Edition aren't 4GB? And finally, is there some way I could skip the update or someone else just check to see their game's size.

    Thanks,

    I believe this is because the disks only carry 15GB, but the game itself is 21GB. So you need to download more. Does kind've make the point of getting disks a bit of a let down.

    Yes, that is correct.

    Well, arent the discs supposed to be compressed? As the op said it installed 20GB out of the discs.
    I don't think game devs are SO stupid as to sell the discs then have you download another 4GB :/ Or are they?

    Thats BS, if you have disks you dont have to download anything. Only upcomming patches and DlCs.

    Hopefully with a lot of people being staggered in receiving the game downloading shouldn't be that slow.

    well, there has been an update already, but it added EyeFinity, and fixed bugged chat in the MP lobby... so it must be getting something extra...


    my eternal thanks to the EB team for making R:TW such an epic game, and to TWC and all other modders for pushing the boundaries with each Total War title .
