How come the Steam patch is this big? 9GB, I mean, really?

Steam probably detected some corrupt files in your installation and is redownloading them, too.

It's 9 gigs for everyone.

Most of the game data is stored in pack0.dzip which is 9.24 GB. You are likely redownloading the new version of that file.

Well done CD Project!

it's steam's fault, actually. that's how they update files, unlike regular installers which can automatically pack them.

What's in the new patch anyway? I hope they fix the sell prices!

also like to add ... I hope the damn pirates don't get any updates.

Go ahead and ripoff Activision and EA, I don't care. Support CDPR!

99% of games don't have this problem.

I figured as much. 20mb patch becomes 9gb, this is ridiculous...

Correct, they don't distribute patches for the games, but patched games. When a game has a single file that's downright huge, like in this case, it starts to matter. Usually it doesn't.

because their file structure is different. the fact that regular versions don't need to do this means it's on steam's end.

also, i know a game called arma2 on steam that had to redownloaded several large pack files.

And it is CDPs job not to provice a game in one single massive file for the steam version.
