Some while ago people were reporting 40 GB updates on Steam and the one I got on the WG client was 2.2GB or something of that nature.Īnd yes, other games that are written to work with Steam in mind do patch better. The WG client has patches that are usually less than half the size and update far faster. I used to run both the WG client and Steam just so I could see what was going on, but the work-around for using an old account with Steam quit working so I can't use it any longer. I can't tell you precisely what that is, only that there very obviously is one. a process that takes far more time because of some inefficiency between WoWS and Steam. The most time consuming part is installing the update. Any decent high speed connection will download a few GB in short order. I have a 220 mbit line which translates to about 26 MB/sec download, and for where I live is medium speed I suppose. This is more or less the only game I have download issues whit on steam and I have around 70 of them. Few minutes? Do you have gazillions of download speed? I can't really imagine they would take the time and effort to TRY to make their software dislike Steam. Though you may switch your account to standalone client if you wish, it's possible, i can explain how.Originally posted by Jack:Well, since the WG client works perfectly and only takes a few min to patch. I wish there was a way to control that updater behavior, but no - neither game developer nor users can control that T_T Using external launcher for updating the game would be a meh solution in my opinion.
But WoWs updates approximately once per 1-2 weeks. Then it would patch bytes into this copies, minimizing your traffic.Īlso for games that are updated rarely it's not as noticeable as well. When you're patching 5 files 2 Gb each Steam would make copies requiring 10 Gbs for temporary space. AND update needs to "touch" several of that. It's not just SIZE of the game itself, they also need to have game data to be packed into HUGE files of >1 Gb to be noticeable. I had 14 other games that are HUGE installs update tonight and this is the only one that has this issue.
