New and updated AI, new enemies, new cutscene, a new full map (not just a small and simple one like the Lucio ball stages, and the christmas and halloween maps are just Ecopoint and Eichenwalde with a different lighting effect).
Also, as far as I’m aware, PTR updates don’t typically launch with events, since PTR usually has big things to release separately, such as a new map or hero, and Blizzard doesn’t do that sort of overlap.
I just leave the computer running overnight for these things and do something else in the meantime (Like play Borderlands). My only concern is if i’m ending up with a 30GB folder after the update.
I’m more curious on why the download is going so slowly. 3 BPS when my current download speed on several test sites is clocking around 50-80 mbps.
Maybe Blizz should have been trickling this downloads in smaller bite size chunks over the last few weeks rather than cramming an 14 gig download through a chokepoint.
I’m currently using my 256 GB SSD that i use to put Windows on for my game storage (bc my HDD is slow speed) and my space is slowly diminishing with this update
Don’t worry, it’s almost the same size. You just basically redownloaded the entire game because they completely changed their filing system. It replaced the previous files.
