Game keeps downloading after every session. I have went through 2 completed downloads already. Anyone else having this issue?

Currently we are downloading some of the core components of I19, i.e. as a pre-download. My guess is that is what you are seeing.
It is to reduce download time when I19 goes live.
The pre-download starts when you quit the game. You don't have to wait for the pre-download to finish, as it will just continue after your next session.

Panthera i dont think that is what he meant.

I had myself 2 fully pre-downloads.

1st download was after my saturday game session, i had it download the full pre i19 download before turned out my Computer.

Sunday Morning i played again and after quiting it started right again at zero with the major I19 Predownload.

Letting it run through in sunday evening again and since then it was quiet.

It didnt redownload after Monday or tuesday session either.

So my suggestion would be, the enabling on saturday had an error / wrong build for predownload so the did a new build from sunday pp.

Greetings

This was my guess as well in a thread in Player Questions when somebody brought up the same issue.

I originally got an error during the first update, and did not get one after a few restarts until several hours later (next day) when I apparently received the second, newer version.

I'm having this same problem. When my husband exited out of the game this morning (around 7:30-ish CST), it re-launched the pre-I19 download for the 4th time. It got almost done with the download (again) and then it stopped - never made it to the end of the download. Any ideas as to why it isn't taking? We've never had this problem before.

Same issue here for me. The pre-downloader keeps re-downloading the Coh.majorpatch file every time I exit the game. Its getting annoying now, at this point I just kill the download and will wait for I19 to go live. Not gonna wait for it to download EVERY TIME I play the game.
