    Patch 1.6 Forces to download ENTIRE GAME again!

    So, today Uplay tells me I have to update Far Cry 4.
    "Cool" I thought, maybe they'll fix more bugs.
    But instead the new update is forcing me to download 31.4 GB!!!!
    Why the F do I have to download the entire game again for an update??
    I've verified the files and they all check out OK, but the update insists I download the entire game again to play.
    What the Hell!!!??? Is this supposed to be normal???
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I had to verify my files in order to load any saves, but after that everything was back to normal.

    Yeah,
    I've done that about 4 times already and nothing. Still 31 GB to download.
    Here's how it always goes:

    Verify Files:

    And then the update:

    C'mon Ubisoft...
    For real?
    Can anyone help?

    Definitely only a 1.3gb patch for me. So that is not normal. Honestly though.. unless you have a data cap on your internet or you have REALLY slow internet you can probably just re-download it far quicker than waiting for a reply or fix from Ubisoft.

    Wait.. who am I kidding.. even if you have REALLY slow internet you can still re-download it before Ubisoft fixes it

    Did any of you guys mod the game? Maybe the launcher detected key files were altered and decided the whole installation was broke.

    No mods of any kind. Game is as was initially downloaded from Uplay...
    And as I showed, Uplay says all files are "OK"

    Sadly, I figured you were right and just left the damn thing download overnight...

    This is REALLY going to suck if I have to download the entire game every time a new patch is released...
