Devs for R6 Siege have been patching the game since release and release that updates are becoming bigger and bigger. To help with this issue and save users on bandwidth usage, they have completely redone how the patching system works with R6. The file system is essentially becoming modular but in order to do this a huge amount of data needs to be reorganized, rewritten and re categorized. This update brings about a 10% increase in loading speeds on console (varies on PC), and updates coming after this one will be much much smaller in size moving forward as patches will no longer need to overwrite huge sections of data but instead replace very particular chunks of data at a time. Tldr- this one update is big, but redoes the file system so that future updates can be smaller than what people are used to. It's an optimization/performance update that will benefit players in the long run. No more gigantic patches after this. |
So, it doesn't actually add that much? Instead, it replaces a lot of the original data?
