Oh, I hope that is true. My PC is fine.
I wish I could get decent internet speeds where I live but my provider is like “Nah.” …
Just got one on my last restart, but it’s only 472 mb
Close steam and wait 5 minutes or so, before you open it again. Worked for me.
Another 51.4Mo patch just now
Be careful @Chilli may come and say that the 51.4mb patch is related to a fullstop being added to a sentence >_>
Why do people always assume that a list of fixes or server downtime for maintenance correlates with the file size of a patch?
Do you really think, you can measure the amount of fixes in file size?
Or patching the client correlates with the fixes on the server side?
I give you a simplified example:
- let’s assume a main file of the game has a size of 500mb
- you fix an error within this file in just one line
- patch size > 500mb because the whole file needs to be changed
Another example:
- let’s assume you have 100 fixes
- each fix results in a a very small file that needs to be changed
- result: patch with 1mb but 100 fixes
Sorry to say this, but this is really drifting into conspiracy theory crafting.
If you don’t have any idea of software development, MMO server architecture, patching,… please stop making these assumptions.
It is totally fine if you’re not familiar with all the technical details and I don’t say that you need to have in depth knowledge of all that. And of course you are entitled to your opinions.
I’m also not saying that each and every fix is listed in the changelog. As the NW devs stated in one of the videos, they sometimes just miss things and forget to put them in the changelog.
For huge projects like MMOs this happens and it happens all the time, not just for Lost Ark, Amazon, Smilegate,…
Software development, especially for such projects, is highly complex. And the tracker for fixes might be very long.
Also keep in mind the “TL:DR” people. Very often you have a long list of changes, but no one reads them and keeps crying, because the changelog was just to long of a read…
Now I’m making an assumption: maybe some things are in fact left out on purpose.
But still no need to call them “shadow…”.
Please keep in mind, that just want to play a game and don’t need a computer science degree for that. And if you’re not an expert in the field, don’t claim to be one.

you got the update without stealth features
You guys have Patches ?
(+5 if you got it)
1 stealth change:
“The Fomona Island Lady” is now completed if you did that area, but you never got the Welcome Challange.
Servers are up by the way
same
Yea 51.4MB really looks like 4 GB uhuh…
That’s the third patch that rolled out today. First auto started about an hour ago, with 4.2 GB, then there was a 357MB, and now this one.
and still no cosmetics / outfits… sigh
and on top of that, shop is still not on, and our auras are gone, so pretty good patch
As far I know in others games and patchs (like CoD) the patch can add more content like skins that will be activate during next days/weeks.
Not only fixs
They’ve add new splash screens when going between areas.
