[2.3 Steam] Redownloading instead of updating
- Thread starter EdzUp
- Start date
It's not the entire game, that's somewhere around the 13.5Gb mark.
But 10.5 is exactly what steam downloaded for me too, seems normal.

It was 10.5gb for me too. Left my pc on overnight for that. Lol
I can confirm that is the correct size of the update I had from Steam last night, some beta testers in other threads were talking about it being 13.5GB when they started testing a few week's back so it is a big patch 
On my poor MacBook - Steam has decided that Elite isn't installed at all - and is now downloading about 25Gb of stuff
Ouch
Ouch

Confirming 10gig download to update yesterday. Took about 20 minutes.
Is the game still on your hard drive, or has it mysteriously disappeared?On my poor MacBook - Steam has decided that Elite isn't installed at all - and is now downloading about 25Gb of stuff

I'm not sure if it works the same on Mac, but if you look in steam/steamapps/common/ and you have and Elite Dangerous folder, if you start downloading, it'll realise stuff is still there and just download the rest.
Usually. Lol
Oh the OS is Windows 10 - and according to Steam Elite wasn't even installed on D:
The logs on C: say otherwise, but regardless the install has been wiped and it's downloading from the start. I wouldn't mind so much, but the connection here is rubbish and it'll leave my D drive nearly full

I may or may not be accurate in saying:
I think it flags for the complete download but if you already have the correct file/version it skips to the next file. I don't use Steam however my downloads always say 7 hours (or some such infuriating number) to go yet complete after only a few (2 or 3) hours.
As i'm on a crappy 5.5 m/bit d/load speed i notice these things !

Same here, but it is a considerable update to the game, so kinda expected it.
Would be nice if the update process removed the beta installs though since its not required post launch, rather than having to do it manually.

10.6gb for what feels like only 0.5gb of it is playable content.
