Stalker 2 (GOG) gets redownloaded for every update (the entire 150GB)

There were three updates so far and every time, Heroic apparently redownloads the entire game again, making the update take an eternity. At GOG i see the update files, they are several 4GB files, but not 150.

I cannot find anything about this issue anywhere here or on the internet

depends on how the game is built.. but generally update download size is only something the developers have control over

hurt-tomatoOP•12/4/24, 7:30 PM

i mean, i guess heroic looks at GOG in this case? where i see a) the fresh install files for the current 1.0.3 version and the update files:

hurt-tomatoOP•12/4/24, 7:31 PM

whose responsibility would it be that heroic prefers to download and run these instead of the setup files?

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:35 PM

the update system in Heroic does diff patches

hurt-tomatoOP•12/4/24, 7:35 PM

okay so you say that the diff is more or less the entire game?

hurt-tomatoOP•12/4/24, 7:35 PM

binary diff?

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:35 PM

and I see a few files that are bigger than 10GB

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:35 PM

one is even 30GB

hurt-tomatoOP•12/4/24, 7:36 PM

huh, not what the offline install files say - where are you seering this?

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:36 PM

the progress Heroic displays is a size that's being written to the drive

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:36 PM

the download size is much less

Hhurt-tomato huh, not what the offline install files say - where are you seering this?

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:36 PM

Heroic doesn't use offline installers

Rradical-lime the download size is much less

hurt-tomatoOP•12/4/24, 7:37 PM

download bandwith in btop matches the download graph in heoric here

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:37 PM

and the patches you see, despite being relatively small, can still trigger rewrites of multiple large files

hurt-tomatoOP•12/4/24, 7:37 PM

i see, so this is rather an issue with stalker2 in this case

Hhurt-tomato download bandwith in btop matches the download graph in heoric here

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:37 PM

are you sure you are using latest version of Heroic?

hurt-tomatoOP•12/4/24, 7:37 PM

2.15.2

hurt-tomatoOP•12/4/24, 7:38 PM

hurt-tomatoOP•12/4/24, 7:39 PM

looks an awful lot like it downloading 153 GB

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:39 PM

it's downloading each patch before writing files

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:39 PM

can you share the GOG log

Rradical-lime it's downloading each patch before writing files

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:39 PM

well, at least it should

hurt-tomatoOP•12/4/24, 7:39 PM

where can i see it?

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:39 PM

in heroic settings

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:40 PM

I see the latest patch is ~20 GiB

hurt-tomatoOP•12/4/24, 7:41 PM

let me grab the log file

radical-lime•12/4/24, 7:41 PM

that would be nice

hurt-tomatoOP•12/4/24, 7:45 PM
