    We will see soon enough, curious if it doesnt change much for you also, it didnt feel like a 18 gig download to mme though, but then high speed internet stuff can make 18 gigs seem light

    Probably many files are just edited versions of already existing files from older versions of game. If they change only one small record in 2gb file you must download whole thing.

    My download appears to be most of the game's size, it's downloading at roughly 20-25MB/s right now, you lot probably get better, but in Australia, internet infrastructure is pretty ordinary.

    OK, I spoke too soon: now it's exceeding 200MB/s. :)

    ... and all done in about 10 minutes.

    (Disclaimer: I bought a new gaming PC recently, its specs are nothing short of awesome, so that definitely helps)

    downloading an 18gb patch doesn't literally mean the game folder will be increased by 18gb. most of these files are going to be updated versions of already existing files, so while yes you are downloading 18gb of data most of it is replacing existing files.

    I've just patched mine and everything in the ESO folder except the PTS comes to 88.8GB.

    I was surprised at how quick the patch was, but there's still a few hours of maintenance to go so maybe there will be another one.

    The Natch Potes say the download is 4.64 GB which is what you get first. Then the launcher updates the entire game files with what is needed which is why it takes a while to update.

    Yeah and my Steam installation says that the folder containing all the game content is 110 GB. Steam adds a lot of stuff to the game I will never use and I rarely play from my Steam Account as it uses 32 bit executables. Instead I place a shortcut to the 64 bit executables on my desktop. Game runs much better on a 64 bit OS.

    Greetings,

    This thread has been moved to the Players Helping Players section, as it is better suited there.

    Thanks

    Steam uses 32 bit executables, but it can still run 64 bit games. My 32 bit Steam runs 64 bit ESO with no problems.
