I know that for something like Asphalt 6 (which is at least 1GB) that it has only downloaded the changes in the past.It might be that it is only applied to large updates, or maybe it wasn't possible to generate the delta for the Temple Run 2 update for some reason? They may only create the delta when less than a certain percentage has changed. (NB. All of this is just my thoughts) | |
