Why do you feel the need to make people download 14 gb every other day?
-
Its getting kind of old in all honesty ive used more data in one week than I have in 5 years
-
Same thing here. Started up the launcher today, and seeing that I have to yet again download 13gb on a restricted data plan, made me quit all together.
Can anyone explain why we have to download gigs of data every time we try to log in? -
I don't think it's "Redownloading" I believe it's verifying the 14gbs. I could be wrong.
-
@TeaEarlGreyHot That would indeed be correct. Verification takes like a minute. The launcher then proceeds to patch a very minor portion of it.

@TastyGM & @TeaEarlGreyHot
I can make the difference between verifying and downloading, and it's definitely downloading. After all - we do this every other dayI can share a scnrshot, but it breaks while uploading here ^^
Anyway - thanks for the replies.

@kikeru It is downloading something alright, but those are hashes and checksums, a very small amount of data compared to the actual datafiles. You are likely downloading less than 400mb per patch because of how this system works.
Trust me: The owner of the server doesn't want to pay for 30.000x 14gb download each time they patch, it's financial suicide lol.
