Update Day General FAQ:
Q: ‘My game mods broke on PC with this update, why did that happen?’
> A: When Ready or Not or games in general release updates to the game, the files for the game in areas related to new game content or fixes then changes. If mods were using the old files to function that have since changed to new files, those mods will likely need to update in order to work properly with the new version of the game’s files.

Q: ‘Why does an update download initially seem frustratingly large in data/gigabytes, even when the game doesn’t actually take up that much more storage when the download finishes’
> A: Game service platforms such as Steam etc. may update games by overwriting the game's files with the new files to replace it. For example, this means a update download that initially shows as 6GB during the download may actually only expand the game by 1GB in size, since it is largely just overwriting old game files for the other 5GB of data.
Q: ‘Why does an update take so long to download despite my fast internet’
> A: Other routine checks that a game service platform does to confirm game file integrity on the local storage device (e.g. your hard drive such as a HDD or SSD) during an update download can extend the perceived download size/time.
Q: ‘Why didn’t my game update yet on my console platform?'
> A: Console platforms do not necessarily support auto-updates, so you may have to trigger the update manually within your game library with an internet connection.
