Why do updates take so long?

This 125mb update took like 20 minutes.

Step 1: Download

Step 2: Patch

Step 3: Verify

Step 4: Install


Patch and install are synonyms like what is going on here? Technically, it installed the update twice. The verification step is just useless.

I can see why dbd would implement their own installer. But it takes soo long it's just not worth whatever download inaccuracies that may have existed in 1 out of a million downloads.

It would be nice if we at least had the option to use Steam's default installer.

The installer shouldn't have to touch every file for a 125 mb update. It's just so weird.
