Miktoas Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 hi i have a strange problem (?). long time ago i installed dont starve + all DLC (not steam version, but the standalone humble version). then it looked for updates, downloaded them (with many errors, so i re-opened updater always again and again, until it finally downloaded all updates without errors). now i see that shipwrecked got a new update. but my klei updater said, that my game is up to day. okay then i uninstalled the game and all dlcs. (the folder in programs was about 1 GB big, after uninstalling the folder disappeared, so no size anymore). but, here comes the problem: then i installed dont starve again(from humble installer). and it looked for updates and then patched everything in only 3 sec. (without downloading the updates again). so my question: what happened? i uninstalled everthing. how could klei updater patch everything again to newes version without needing to downoad anything? (back then, in the first attempt it downloaded the updates at least 5 min long). so: are my patch files still stored? if so, where? how can i be sure now that everything from KLEI is uninstalled when i uninstall the game? if i intentionally uninstall something completely, i dont want downloaded big update patch files still be stored on my computer. how is it even possible? i cleaned my temp folder and everything else, i even used software like ccleaner. so how is it possible, after i unstalled the game, and then install it again, the patch is done in 3 sec? because the very first update back then defenitely took more than 5 min. shouldnt it take again 5 min, because everything + updates were uninstalled? to sum it up: there are 2 possibilities. first is, that the game updates are hiddenly stored somewhere and you cant even uninstall/delete them. second possibility is, that the KLEI updater is somehow bugged or the registry entries were not deleted. idk. im asking for help.

Miktoas Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 nevermind. i found out why it was like this. the update really is saved in another folder than the installation folder. i even found the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
