Are delta patches still viable given the current sizes of games? I'm not sure if this is the state of the art, but according to https://www.daemonology.net/bsdi

Are delta patches still viable given the current sizes of games? I'm not sure if this is the state of the art, but according to https://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/ https://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/, bspatch would require more memory than most systems can offer.
- asveikau 3y agoYou would probably do the deltas in batches. Not input the entire disc in a single chunk.
- ASalazarMX 3y agoI'd expect the patch generation to be memory hungry, not the patch aplication, which should be only data and offsets. If it uses maximum compression it might generate a huge data dictionary, but since it has to be distributed too, that would be contraproducent to patch size.
