So i said ♥♥♥♥ it, if it was gonna take the same amount of time i just uninstalled the game and started downloading the game again.īefore steam updated the download tab this NEVER happened to any of my games, now it happens to ALL of my games Here's how it works NOW: game has patch, i download patch and after that i can not hit play because now the game has to unpack the patch or whatever it does, where it basically has to go through all the games files as if im redownloading the whole gameįor example, today i downloaded patch for Elden Ring which was around 1.6 gb after it's finished downloading it now has to go through all the 48 gb of the game to unpack or whatever it does, it was about to take as long as it took me to download the game.

Here's how it USED to work: game has patch, i download patch and after that i can hit play on the game and start playing So as the title says ever since steam updated its looks for the downloads tab my patching has been slow, i remember searching for it but didn't find an answer as to why and kinda just dismissed it.
