Why is my NTW downloading a 500mb patch?

Why is my NTW downloading 500mb patch, and all my steam games are downloading a patch, but the others are only 200mb, Napoleon TW's is 512mb?

WTF?

Cheers, MB

Que?

Did you ever patch before? If no, it might be downloading/installing all patches together, which might be something around 500mb.

It always does that, for some reason. In Empire, too.
Plus, the game can't be launched offline before the patch has finished.
If I didn't know better, I'd say Steam replaces whole portions of the game over and over.

I think it might if it gets confused by mods.
If you uninstall them and Steam fails to realize everything is fine, it may just brute force get everything that may be a problem.

I only ever tried out one mod and never had the redownload problem.

Well I have all current patches.... that is really strange.... luckily I can still launch NTW. Yay!

Have you modded the game files instead of making new pack files? That god damn Steam may be verifying your game cache randomly...
