85GB patch? Seriously????

I've had issues with my internet recently, and I've had to use a mobile internet solution as a workaround until I can get a new installation done. I've been able to play, but with an occasional bit of lag (which is to be expected).

Following yesterday's maintenance, I logged into my Xbox and ESO wanted a 1.5GB download - not ideal, but par for the course.

When I tried it from my PS4, however, I was told that the download would be 85GB! This has to be a bug, surely? There's no way I'm going to be able to do that with the current state of my internet so what, kiss goodbye to the rest of the event???

    The download may be going through a pre-check of the entire game files before moving onto the ESO update.

    It's not - it seems to randomly decide how big of an update it is.

    In 5 successive tries I've had 85GB, 77GB, 455MB (which unfortunately failed, twice) and now 86GB again.

    I even went as far as restoring my licenses between each attempt (just in case it thought I didn't have it installed), and out of 125 licenses, the only one that failed was the one for the Blackwood chapter... every time!
