Did everyone have a 60gb patch this morning or was it just me?

Not sure if my game got corrupted and it did a full download or we actually had a 60gb patch...

    2GB something download, however the patching of files is much larger.
    For some reason this did not go automatically. Loader complained the server was offline so it did not bother downloading and patching, another bug.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Console will have to download a lot because console patching don't allow them to modify libraries like they can on pc.

    Exactly this. Download was only 2GB, the rest of the process was applying that download to the existing files already on our systems which was ~60GB of data. Think of patches as merging updates into existing files.

    Q1 2020 however will be a different story. At that time I'll likely just save my add-ons folder, uninstall the game, and install a fresh copy at that point. Might as well since we all have to download the entire game again anyway, hoping to save some potential headaches with patching, etc.

    Cool, I misread it when I was looking, looked like a 60gb DL, which left me scratching my head.
