Wait, you mean 40 Gb of update?! Does it mean that the whole game weights around 90 Gb?! I do not have enough space for that! That sounds impossible, how can a new mode, 3 maps and 4 heroes weight so much? You can't even put the graphic update in there, because it should replace the old graphics. Tell me it doesn't work this way. Or I won't be able to play it until I get a new PC. (T^T)
