Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game. - raics, 06.08.2016	Posted by JohnNamikaze#6516 on Sep 3, 2016, 4:16:12 AM Valued Poster Quote this Post

I currently have a problem where the 25.6 mb patch is taking... 5 days to update... it is all downloaded the unpacking and repacking of the files is atrociously time consuming. Heck its probably faster to uninstall and reinstall the game then it is to patch... Edit 1: Actually I was "patching" for the past 35 minutes. I am actually taking the steps now to uninstall and reinstall the game. Lets see if that takes less time... Edit 2: 17 minutes later, the game is fully updated and patched... why does it take less time to uninstall and reinstall then it does to patch D: Last edited by b14d3r11#6069 on Sep 3, 2016, 6:01:03 AM	Posted by b14d3r11#6069 on Sep 3, 2016, 5:38:59 AM Quote this Post
With those mini patches I realized I am happy that I don't have an SSD ( well dont need one - with 12 GB Ram the game doesnt access HD anymore once all assets have been loaded once per computer reset ) - an SSD's lifetime is determined by its write accesses - every Path of Exile mini patch rapes my hard disk so hard - I wonder how much lifetime this would take away from an SSD. tl;dr I really think PoE's update mechanism / storage situation needs improvement. Doing such an insane amount of write accesses for a few MB patch is unproportional and very very bad for a SSD's lifetime ( considering what rape PoE does to my harddisk - every time - its not even good for it ).

Write access from game have zero effect in SSD s lifetime . SSD is made for lasting 10+ years ,i still have one of oldest SSD s in my other old laptop . 7350 counts and still is working and think that it have no TRIM ability... Now for the ramdisk ,nice job ,i use one too but have much less memory (6 gb) so for now i can t load game ...yet...

There's another 39.7MB patch already which doesn't show on the forums yet. With the GGPK file bloated to almost 12GB the patches now take over 10 minutes through Steam. Dear GGG, you've acknowledged the existence of the Steam patching problem on March 10th 2016 which was almost half a year ago. Isn't it time to split the huge file? I guess it's either 1 or 48,000. Nothing in between, right?	Posted by JayFinch#2205 on Sep 3, 2016, 8:06:32 AM Quote this Post
