Ja, aber jetzt bald (nächste Build?)* benötigt es nicht mehr die ganze Build sondern nur noch Teile... Wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe.
"
The process of downloading new builds will be changed (and simplified). From now on, you will only need to download the small launcher. The launcher will then take care of downloading the actual game builds and patches needed to run the highest build your account is enabled for. Most importantly, you will not have to download new launcher every time a new build is released; the launcher will automatically detect new builds as they are released. The launcher also has the ability to patch itself, should we find any problems with it. All of this will happen automatically."
Noch bleibt alles beim alten, es wird nur der download erleichtert. Einzig die Frage nach dem Kapazitätenengpass ist noch nicht ganz geklärt, da ja alle gleichzeitig eine Menge von Daten (automatisch) herunterladen.
Sehr interessant ist aber die Aussage für die Zukunft:
"In the near future, we will also change the logic of patches upgrade paths. Until now, we made a full build once a month, and then each patch was a cumulative patch of all changes since the last full build. With the automatic launcher taking care of patch download, we will be able to move to a system of much smaller patches, which will depend on each other. This will significantly reduce the size of downloads needed for those who install most builds."
