The patch size is growing exponentially! Apart from the one mini-update before entering the game I was not asked to download anything else yet the patch size increased in size - silent updates in the background ? The original 1300mb was compressed perhaps ?

I assume that the size grows as the game installs additional files from the disc while playing.

Not sure how that would work. The stuff that is installed is still at the older version.

I would assume this is the mini updates, but I doubt there has been almost 2gb of them over the last week or so...
 
As mentioned. The installed patch size grows each & every time GT6 loads data within the game.

Look at it this way, when PD release v1.02 it could only be 200mb. It's not going to replace the previous patch data but it will add to it.

My patch v1.01 is currently sitting at 4.7gb.
 
This is a result of the new system for GT6 whereby files are loaded onto the PS3 from the disc when they are needed. This was to allow people to be able to start playing the game sooner as some people would take a long time downloading a 10GB+ install if they have a poor internet connection. It is a good idea, even if loading is sometimes a bit slowed
 
Re Loading times. You can combat this by setting the GT6 Demo to play continuously for a duration of 30 secs per track. Leave it running for a couple of hours and the game will be fully installed.

Completely pointless though if you are money farming using the various workarounds.
 
That's not the 1.01 'patch size'. That's the total amount of space GT6 has taken on your PS3 hard drive.

That doesn't make any sense at all. The patch, is the patch. It doesn't grow.

There you go. This is the answer. The OP mislead a bit by saying this was the patch. This shot is from the installed game data file...Doh! :)
 
It says v1.01 in the description and it will change whenever PD release an update. It just so happens that PD decided to be different and combine the patch with the game install data, where as most games have a seperate patch and install file. Fwiw, the stealth patches are in a seperate file, currently at 56mb.
