#League of legends download size update#

The only solution to this problem is to either a) wait until Steam is done updating, which definitely takes longer than it ever did before, or b) the update is put on hold, which isn't really a solution but rather a temporary workaround. websites won't load (and eventually time out) attempting to run another game or anything takes ages as well. While an update is actively shuffling data on my HDD, everything slows down or won't even start to begin with, e.g. I don't really care though what I do care about is the massive performance impact. This is evidently no longer the case, as I've already stated: now, yes - I can see an exact breakdown of whenever the download finishes vs. Steam updates that came in a size of only a few hundred MBs used to be just like that: small in size, quick and easy to install. The only case where I've come to encounter this behavior before (and where it was rightfully criticized by the community as well) was Cyberpunk 2077 on GOG there it does the very same thing, and it's infuriating.

No 'sneaky, secretly performed' HDD activity whatsoever.Īlso - and I can speak from many years of personal experience - updates never used to patch the entire installation for every single game in your library. Even though you may not have had any idea of what exactly was going on in the process, other games and applications ran just fine during the update and immediately afterwards. the update progress bar eventually finished. That was never even once the case before Steam itself was updated and apparently changed things. I am currently dealing with the same problem as the OP, so much so that it renders my computer 100% and completely unusable whenever Steam is running updates. Please refrain from spreading false information when it's very clear that you have no idea what the actual issue is. I'm sorry, but this just isn't true at all. All you saw was a green horizontal line for updating.

I guess I'll have to get used to it?Īnyways, thank you guys for replying to what seems like a silly question. Now it takes over an hour and it's rough hearing 'it's always been like that' as an answer. I prefered back when i could do 6+ games in under 10 minutes, and start playing. Also that the next game in line would immediately start downloading after the download part was finished for the first game. I always played the games right after though, so it seems strange that this process was 'secretly' not complete and it still played fine. Thanks, Perhaps I just never noticed the disk was still busy after download on my task manager for the last 10+ years. Previously the progress bar would only display the downloading content progress but not the disk allocation process which would make an update to appear completed when it was not. Originally posted by my new friend: When a game/update is actively downloading it will now display the total progression completed for the download or update. If your update has a patch, leave it alone to finish. It's either that or you have to re-download the entire the game which would be reinstalling the entire game. If they choose to issue a patch, then your update is going to have to patch a lot of files. There is nothing that you can do to change how a developer pushes out an update. Patching games has always been a thing on Steam. And the only reason why it seems like it's 'since the last change to Steam's new look' is because it didn't specifically spell out what the updates were doing prior to the change.

It sucks to take 20 mins to install a patch that should be sub 10 seconds. I've tried reinstalling steam, changing install directories, and turning on and off cloud sync. If a game is 39 gigs- the patc hwill be 39 gigs even if the update is only 100mb. So if a game is 8.4 gigs, then each patch I need to wait for 8.4gigs.

Then it takes 10-15 minutes for my NVME HD to finish the patch because the total patch size always reads the same as the entire installed game. So the download part is super fast, like 3- 5 seconds.

It is always the full size of the game, as if it was starting from scratch. Then the total patch my HD has to write is the entirety of the game size - 20+gigs. Whenever a game needs a patch, it will download a small patch- say 103mb. Originally posted by thegeodemon:Been having this problem ever since the last change to Steam's new look.
