Improved Download Process

5 votes

Updates are necessary in a game that is being developed and as technology changes. However, when updates are frequent and players have a limited amount of time to play, the long update process is discouraging to even want to play the game. I am finding that each update states "Validating existing files" and then proceeds to download 8GB of data every time there is an update. I am unsure if there is more compact way to code the updates so the time is reduced by smaller size of update or if there is a way to adapt the process to avoid having to redownload the the entirety of the existing game files each update. On average, the updates take approximately 40 minutes to complete each time.
