Patch is up (launcher & client)

It honestly might just be 1GB because the patcher downloads an entire 1GB archive, as opposed to just downloading the files that changed in the archive and applying them manually.. Disappointing if that's the case, but I've seen it happen with many a game before.

This would be my guess

If this was just a "fix" it wouldn't warrant an entire VERSION update. Fixes generally just change the version build number but not the version itself. Like, 2.0.0129 vs. 2.1.0010. The first is not a complete version update. I don't know. Maybe they just did a poor job of wording whatever it is they're doing. Who knows.

Yeah, I would hope it'd download a manifest file for the update and apply those files to the file container but your explanation definitely seems like what is happening. We'll see when they announce what the patch contained, it should be relatively obvious once they announce the changes.

wrong its not just a fix they made changes to the DF and how it processes que's amongst other things they have yet to mention.

When Worlds do finally reopen after the maintenance, we expect a rush of players trying to log back in. To prevent any further login issues, we will be using the utmost caution when restarting each World. Please understand that there may be some congestion at this time.

Just putting this here in case anyone forgot.

I just hope the new patch doesnt introduce a whole slew more of crashes or dcs. Maybes its an anti afk feature?

That's essentially what I was getting at.. It's NOT a fix. If it was they wouldn't have worded it as an entire version update. Version changes usually imply new or additional things.
