EA and Patching

[Nikumba]

2 patches in as many days is utterly fecking stupid. The 1.07 patch comes out which is ~200Mb, 1.08 is 216Mb!!! all to fix a issue with ONE UNIT!!!! Why the feck do they need a patch that size to fix a cockup like that??

I mean I know EA are terrible at getting games right but this borders on why the hell do EA make games any more?

ive been under the impression that when they release a patch it includes all previous patchs so it works from a brand new install.

Ok i can accept that, however when 1.08 address one issue, so why not just release an incremental patch?

The fact 1.07 came out on the 24th/25th Aug then 1.08 comes out 28th Aug thats 400Mb of patches in 3/4 days which is just stupid and how that bug got through patch testing is beyond me

A lot of games have patches that are that large ON THEIR OWN. Tbh I'm glad EA are finally supporting games reasonably again. (They did go through a dry spell where it was 'tough ****' if there were any bugs).
