Size of ESO installation. Mines at 106gb atm. That can't be correct?

Hey

With this patch my game is currently downloading 35gb of data.. (Derp?)

My totale ESO folder size is 106gb, and the ..\ESO\The Elder Scrolls Online EU\depot\patchdata.depot\ folder is taking 62gb of that size.

Theres something wrong here, right?

    But still 35gb of data from the new patch? That will bump mye ESO up to 130gb since ive already download about 5gb

    Not 100% sure but I remember hearing that when they do these patches they over write alot of data that is already in your folders which is why its so big, now this makes no sense to me being an IT guy but I believe thats what they do.

    Agreed Gaiden - Im an IT-administrator as well, and wasted space is just .. Wasted space.

    i think "nothing wrong" is possibly putting it.. charitably
    i don't know why they're not desperately trying to fix it when their servers are getting hammered with people downloading tens of gigabytes of stuff every release. now they're on a f2p budget

    with zenimax folder being more then 100gb means that you have live server and pts server on your harddisk - just for info

    Do you ALSO have the PTS downloaded?
    What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
    That's right... Horse.

    My Zenimax folder is only 49gigs with the IC DLC, and I've had the same installation since the game launched.
