Since I run a capped internet service, I need to know if I'll be able to download the latest patch and still have some data left to play with. Unfortunately, once I've downloaded and installed the patch, there's no undo button on my ISP, so if anyone has the cumulative patch size, I'd be appreciative.

Edit: Many people have said that the patch is just over 4 GB, for anyone reading this thread who's also interested.

Edit: @ZOS_GinaBruno‌ has stated that the patch will be between 8 and 10 GB.

    Not really sure, but it'll be more than 100-300 MB.

    Agreed. This isn't a normal patch. The last content update was a pretty hefty size.

    No patch download available yet.

    (which is extremely disconcerting, to put it mildly, so many hours later)

    It's almost like there is no communication between PTS/QA and production/operations/support. ... almost.

    Seven hours plus patch at present, so I'd guess large. A gig at least, probably more.

    I suppose I need to wait then. Thanks everyone!
    I wish Zenimax would give us things like file size but that's a battle for another day.

    Well, we aren't receiving the patch file yet through the installer, so who knows. There isn't much in the patch notes that indicate it should be too big. Theres no major content included like Craglorn. It will probably be a few 100 MBs like most normal weekly patches depending on the files that needed updated.

    Right there with you, emeraldbay, and for the same reason.

    When the patch does come up, I'd be grateful to anyone willing to stop by this thread again with an update on the total download size. That would help me decide whether to try to grab it tonight or take a laptop somewhere else tomorrow. It's not much fun to get a couple 50 MB files in and find that there's a surprise multi-GB file waiting, in which case I'd have to take the laptop out anyways.

    (On a related note, it'd be really awesome if the launcher would give an accurate estimate of total download remaining, rather than just the currently downloading file. But I've mentioned that before without much response.)

    you aren't rich enough, if you are, you would be hiring a servant to type these posts for you.

    They came on about three hours ago, said maintenance was taking longer than expected, and that it would be at least another four.

    LOL! But what if I enjoy to type? Oh, and how do you know the one typing this isn't the hot (your choice of ethnicity...) servant chick I hired? :pensive:

    thanks, does it mostly replace existing file? or are we looking at an 30% bigger game after this patch?

    It's going to replace some things, and your game file may become a bit larger, but the total game file will be larger than just 8-10GB if that makes sense.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno‌ is that unpacked, or is that the amount that we'll be downloading?
