weird game updates??

JoelBailey1 · Dec 24, 2018

It first started with red dead redemtion 2. It stated quote that the game had to perform a 5 gb update understandable, the online had come out. But when I checked by queue it sated it was a 92.52 gb update which I thought was weird. I let it do the update
but what is weird it said it only took up the 5 gb like it stated but took abnormably long for a 5 gb update. It then did it for rainbow 6 siege doing its full game size of 64.4 gb. It has only just finished war thunder with a 25 gb update. Its more annoying
as RDR2 and R6 update frequently and every update it has to perform the games full size update again, again and again. Please tell me there is a fix or its a bug soon to to be squashed by microsoft.

Thanks Joel.

Hi joel,

Not sure like I said it could be intentional. Fallout 76 has updated 3 times since I owned it and every time it has reinstalled the full game. It could be something developers are trying out to make it smoother. Know a lot of times when games update can
cause corruption.

If I hear different or anyone else we will post on here to let you and everyone else know.

Thanks,

Brad

Hi joel,

I totally understand I am a gamer too and it bothers me also. Try to play a game it has to fully install as to all companies totally not sure. As all of this I mentioned is all speculation no facts or anything. Just trying to make sense of it just like you.

will it potentially be resolved in an software update?

Hello Joel,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. There been a few that post here with the same issue. Personally I have had the same thing happen with a few games also. Only thing I can think is it could be a new way of updating. For example if the update
is throughout the whole game instead of doing an update and potentially corrupting it, they just reinstall the whole game. This is a personal opinion so clear speculation. I have not worried about it due to the games install and am able to play after it does
these updates. I wouldn't be too worried about it unless it causing issues with the game.

Thanks,

Brad
