I just uninstalled DBD
To prepare for the update in an hour! Wonder how long it will take to reinstall the whole game 😓
Edit: whoops I misunderstood how this update worked, I didn't have to uninstall!

Not looking forward to it, my steam downloads are always so slow.

You got to delete the game to update it?

I thought they said they fixed that
I'm on Xbox so I've never had that issue but isn't that why the last update was like 5,000 GB big?

yeah, same. xbox <3

I really dislike having to reinstall the entire game, however download speeds being way faster after the compression is done is a huge worth it. That's also assuming the files have been compressed enough. Also, assuming Behavior going forward, keeps compressing, new files added.

They fixed the issue with slow updates in a recent patch, so no point downloading it again

They said it was almost the same as they've changed the way assets are packaged.
Potentially, if it requires less disk IO operations (cut here, move there, ... patching operations), it may even be faster to install than update. (But don't quote me on this.)

how this work on ps4 do I need to delete the game?
1 -
in order to update the game, steam downloads around half of the game, So when low on storage, you have to delete the game and reinstall it otherwise updating the game is impossible.

Does anyone know if console has to do this too or is it strictly for Steam players?

You shouldn't worry and let the game update as usual.

Updates always work automatically.
No need to uninstall - except you don´t have enough space for the update.

Yes, unfortunately this update will be bigger than normal that's due to the engine change I'm afraid so it will be a slightly longer download than we'd ideally liked.
However, the game will take up less disk space now as the way it's been packaged has been changed.

COD could learn something from dbd with this.

Just for reference this update is 22 GB and takes maybe half an hour.

22.5 GB for me and it takes as long as fast your internet connection is.
For me it will take between 4-6 hours.

That depends on what country you're in.
For me in Australia off peak it's nearly an hour. Then the install, then the generic replacing corrupted files that happens with every dbd patch.

44.5gb on xbox D:
thats almost the whole game

Yes I saw Mandy's comment which made that clear

Nice clickbait
1 -
I was expecting a different comment section though lol

I guess I should have too cause my "Update" is 44.28 GB big!!!!
That's literally the entire game on Xbox. I'm assuming it's just redownloading everything cause I can't imagine the patch is doubling the size of the game...
EDIT: Oh I guess I missed Mandy's post above cause that explains it

Same thing essentially
