Thanks for the explanation...just seems a bit strange...so this is merely a consolidation patch incorporating the previous patches into a new 57 GB copy of the game then. The original patches did not require this, though...

Yes--just checked and although I am only 22GBs into the second installation of the game, the folder reads 156GBs...and climbing, of course...! Thanks again for the info...;) I'm actually running the game on a 7200 rpm HDD and I see nothing objectionable about load times except at the very beginning...after that they are very fast even from an HDD--My NVMe is 250GBs as well, but only used for boot drive & utilities.

Thanks again!

I'm never wrong about anything, and so if you see an error in any of my posts you will know immediately that I did not write it...;)
