Reminds me of the 1,3 GB or so huge patch they released for German (and european ?) customers for Two Worlds I …

This patch was then already included in the international release, as far as my memory serves me.

Sounds likely.

Releasing now should give them time to fix whatever bugs pop out from this big upgrade before they have to go gold for the rest of the world. So I guess this is the "polish".
