How large will the updates be?

Yes the system uses patching so you will not download the entire install again, but it really depends on how much changes :slight_smile:

Are they going to be another ~7GB download, like the original install? Or will we get a patch, similar to the method that video game updates use?

Thanks Swiftly, that’s good to hear! I do have a monthly bandwidth limit, so I was wondering if I should be concerned. But I guess not :smiley:

Cool no problem. And just so you know, the actual download size is more like 2.6GB for a fresh install of UE4. Currently the UI in the Launcher does not account for compression :smiley:

Ah, that actually makes sense… I was wondering why the source code download was so much smaller… :wink:
