    Hey! I'm a developer at Flavourworks and we're trying to track down this issue with the download manager where it stops downloading altogether. Could you email us at [email protected]? It would be super helpful if you included:
    • your iOS version
    • device model
    • how much free space you have on the device
    • and whether the issue resolves after restarting the device.
    Unfortunately we can't provide a "Download All" option at the moment because we are limited in how much we can store on the device, but we are looking into how to provide a better user experience on some connections.

    Thanks!

    This doesn’t really make a lot of sense. There are plenty of games that download can all of the resources. Games like Genshin Impact have small updates here and there but you download like 8-9 GB of data to start. Same with games like GRID, which also ends up being 6 GB or more. Don’t have Xcom 2 but apparently it is 8.5 GB. It certainly can be done.

    This definitely makes this game less desirable to play on iOS.
    I’ll play it elsewhere. A shame.

    Well, the game installed is quite tiny, clocking in at around 300 MBs and I believe the additional data download goes into the Other part of our device's storage. Is the total size of the game the listed 1.6 gigs? No clue! I don't know what the back-end of the game looks like, but judging from @PavleMiha's post, the game could be bouncing between resources as it needs them, and deleting unneeded data? I have no idea! I don't think that's viable because it'd be silly to have to download data over and over with each playthrough.

    Regardless, I've gotten in touch and hopefully we all help in finding a solution to this whole thing.

    Actually, it seems that it downloads only the moments that differ from standard route. In my first playthrough I got two downloads. Then I deleted the game (because I got most informative route which answered to almost all of my questions) but wanted to play it second time and chose the most boring path, so I got only one download.

    I ended up biting and have gotten four downloads so far and only about 30 minutes into the game. It’s really annoying.
