    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

    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.
