- Sony Online Entertainment has announced that, thanks to working with PlayStation, patch sizes on DC Universe Online will be reduced beginning with Game Update 37. They offered up this explanation about download messaging: “When patching, you will continue to see the “full” patch size that someone who has never patched would need to download. However, after a few minutes, your system will identify what you have already downloaded and what still need to download, and only download what is needed. For example, for Game Update 37 today, your system will start your download process showing about 7gb out of 8.8gb, only downloading about 1.8gb in total (assuming you have already downloaded Game Update 36).” [Sony Forums]
