thanks in advance!
They usually release the update a hour into the patching process.
If your internet sucks you wont be done downloading by the time the servers are up.

The PTR patch was 54GBs large. I would expect it to be about that same size if not bigger.

PTR patch size is not representative. They have some settings messed up there.
To answer the original question: there appears to be at least 8GB of additional content in PTR right now, but that’s not indicative of how Steam will download it, due to deltas, it might have a larger download size.

Ah didnt know about the extra fluff on the ptr patches. Still a hefty boi.
It’s not necessarily extra fluff, just for whatever reason Steam isn’t using delta patching for PTR patches (maybe a configuration issue on AGSs end), requiring a full download every single time.

Mine still is slow. Living in parts of Maine is like this

Yep. 2.5Gbps down, 1Gbps up.
I would expect a Download Size about 25GB+
Unfortunatly my only option is 4g LTE since I live out in the sticks
Starlink… I had to use 4g LTE for years at the ranch, now the 4g is just the fail over.
When I lived on our family’s farm, I ran a mobile internet stick on one of my Dark Knight routers out in our barn, then ran cables attached to it up a 40’ tower to two Yagi antennas in order to boost the signal.
I used to freeclimb up to 500’ tall chimneys and towers. I don’t recommend doing that. Use a harness, or better yet pay someone else to do the climb. I’ve been freeclimbing for years and it was still a lot of work holding myself up while I installed everything.
I ended up going from 5Mbps down and 1Mbps up to about 150Mbps down and 20Mbps up. It made it so I had enough speed to stream, though I was using 200 to 1,000GB a month, and we had to pay a flat fee of 2.50/GB for the first 100GB and 5$/GB thereafter; it was expensive, but it was solid speeds in the middle of nowhere, and you pay a big price for that kind of luxury.
I get your pain

Don’t worry. Between queue times and the cluster F we know is gonna happen most people won’t actually be able to play on patch day.
