Patching Process (Steam)
|
File size 975.1kb.
Process (Allocate Space - Download - Update) Time Start 16:37 Time Finish 16:56 This is probably the correct length of time for patching but seems excessive. I do not understand how the patch is applied so this is probably not an issue. Could someone clarify please. Thank You..... |

Steam patching is different than the other patching.
Steam does a byte-patch, so it needs a complete ggpk file to compare to for patching information. This means it sometimes needs to download the whole thing again. It's a stupid process, but that's Steam for you. | |

its not downloading anything else apart from those 971kbs it just take forever and ever to patch the game, and the stupid steam patching system does not do the same with other games, in my case right now, dota2 and robocraft update, both were a breeze compared to PoE one, and both were considerably more heavy (5.7mb for dota2, 213.6mb for robocraft) -.-"

You missed the part about how Steam is byte-patching for Path Of Exile.
Steam patches different games differently depending upon requirements for that game. Because of the way the content file is patched for PoE, the only thing Steam can do is get s copy locally and then search for changes to patch. It's a byte-patch. | |

Thank you.
