Nah, I downloaded that a while ago.
I really hope it means I can get into games or my own single player game faster. Good God the main menu takes forever. (XB1 here)
Faster loading screens would be cool, it takes too long. Especially since you need to enter and leave the HQ so many times.
I'll check this

Got a 460MB update on PC also.
No, just seems to be improvements for the online system. Stability fixes, host migration etc,...
I think it is this big because the PS4 redownloads all the older patches as well or something...

The real patch is around 500MB but the Sony system right now download all the patches together... so each new patch the size increase... the next one will be close to 2GB.

That's been there since the last two updates.
Wait, it downloads patches you've already installed again?
I'm pretty sure it does, no coincidence every game patch on the PS4 seems to get bigger in size, even if only a little bit.

I do believe he is correct.

Exactly... all together... 1.01 + 1.02 + 1.03 + 1.0x
If Sony didn't fix that (seems like they will use the SOE patch system) when a game reach the patch 2.xx it will be close to 5GB or more.
Why would it redownload patches you already had, that makes no sense.

Because you have the patch but others guys didn't have it.
So it is the same patch to the guy that have all previous patches installed and to the guy that didn't have any patch installed... so the patch works for everybody.
They needs to change to the guy with no patch installed download the 1.5GB and the guys with all patches installed just download the last one.
They are working in that... maybe next firmware update.
Their you go, maybe new map area added?

New cars were released today.
On the 360 you have to download a content update if you want to buy any of them.
Perhaps the PS4 version is getting the content update as a patch?
Here is a link to the 360 cars

I think the Xbox One patch was around 500mb too.. I downloaded it last night but can't remember exactly how big. Didn't take very long.
Another free car might be cool.
Cause the patching system only allows for 1 patch per game. Devs can't push out a small patch for people who have already installed the previous patches and a big patch for people who don't have any installed, it's just 1 patch that they keep adding data to every time they want to update the game. Which means every time a new patch comes out you're redownloading all the previous patches you downloaded for that game.
DCUO patches are currently ~7+GB's each cause of this crappy system no matter how small the changes actually are. SOE is working with SCE to implement a new patching system but it won't be ready till ~April.

Agreed. Finally finished racer career but most of it just made me angry - as you said, sometimes I just wanted to race. Cop career is a bit less rage-inducing so far.
Next 5 weeks is DLC, hence the big ass update.

That is insane, I hope they fix that right away.
Yeah, hopefully it works like a cross between the PS3 and PS4 systems eventually. PS3 downloaded all the patches sequentially if you needed more than one, but not in the background. Be much better than downloading one giant patch for every little tweak.
