Can we please get a fix to the never ending asset download bug. Yesterday I downloaded about 20 assets and it was still telling me there was more to download and today more of the same.
After this bug I think we can go a couple of months without downloading assets lol.
No. It clears every release and we expect releases at 3-4 week intervals.
I only had to do 2 today. I think it’s been 2 days since I checked.
It is weird. The game is up to 4.67 gb and I have to believe everything is downloaded as far as graphic assets other than new characters.
This is basically the same size it was when we were saying it was really getting too big. Then BCS made it purge all the data with every update as a quick and dirty fix. Then IP2 started asset downloads etc.
In any case I can see maybe an asset pack being sent like once a week, but not every day seeing one. More than one a day seems like something is broken.
It is several a day for me, getting exponentially smaller during the day. Today has been 72MB, 15MB, 3MB, and finally 7k. Taking up 4.7Gb of my ipad storage - 313.1MB for the App and 4.39GB for Documents and Data. It’s the largest user of storage for me by quite some margin.
Looks like it fixed itself I only had 2 to download today
There is no bug. The button is there to just help you load assets preemptively. If you don’t do it manually, they will download when the game needs them. This can slow things down, so you can avoid this if you want.
I did not download any assets manually during the many posts you’ve posted about this in the past weeks, and I also only had two when I just checked. Again: if you don’t click the button, the game will auto download when it needs it.

You’re both correct.
There is a bug in “Download all assets”
Odds are: 5 minutes after you download everything, there shouldn’t be something new to download.
There isn’t new artwork or sounds in the game every 5 minutes.
Because of this bug, and what Zarqa and Daiches said, you only need to press it, once a new character or mission is introduced. (once every other week, not every day/hour)
I did a test several weeks ago. I downloaded all assets, an hour later it said I had 50MB to download.
I recorded the exact size in bytes of my assets, and enabled “network bandwidth monitoring” before downloading.
The results: I downloaded 48MB, and my assets grew in size by exactly zero bytes.
My theory: Some assets are getting their “downloaded” status reset, after they were downloaded.
So all you are doing is re-downloading something you already have.
Many of the folks who play, are completionists. We like pressing buttons, making connections, and seeing things completed. So things like “Download all assets” always being available, and the Campaign mission sitting at 10 of 13 bother us.
There is no bug only zuul
As I alluded, the function should work correctly if it’s going to exist in game.
The fact that this new thing they introduced isn’t working correctly makes me concerned about the game’s ability to be properly managed, but to be honest, no more so than I’ve already been a number of times this year.
Cross sharing!
If this is not related though, I will share any new updates once I have it.
