Patch/Update Package Sizes

**karlyp123** · July 26, 2012, 01:50 PM

When they release patches, do some of you get really annoyed or afraid that they will be huge and that downloading it will be pain and that they could release them as like daily or 2-daily updates in smaller packages so it wont interrupt in-game time as much. They do this in some games, quite notably as Star Trek Online, and they release it at the weekend and they are no more than 500mb which is fine for someone like me who barely achieves 300 kb/s. I find it a real hassle when they release something that's the size of 1.5gb - 2gb every month or so.

How do you feel about it?

Not a problem for me.

Well I mean for Steam you can always stop the download by playing it, I just learned this from one of the posters here awhile ago and it just pauses, so maybe when your done playing RTW2 or any other game just resume the download while your away.

But anyways on topic hm that's a tough question for me because I really don't care as long as it doesn't screw my game up then either way.

I wouldn't be better to make a high quality software with no breaking bugs in the first place. And that the patches do not break anything and are delivered reasonably fast after identifying the bug.

No patches, I prefer to wait several months to a well finished product ....

Heh, I don't think a product has ever been released bug free. We can wish though

I'm not bothered personally, whichever is more efficient to fix as many problems as possible

The big patches usually comes with DLC. The smaller patches are basically just fixes mostly. We'll get both all the time.

For modding compatibility issues large spaced out patch's.

Do you get big DLC patches without ordering them Lesta?

I would like fix patches of a reasonable size if possible.

If I wanted say a campaign add on with DLC which could be big, Then an overnight download would suit me as my Broadband is not up to snuff.

I don't always buy DLC immediately but most if not all big patches comes with DLC. CA needs to cover the cost of developing these patches...
