Well, xDelta's not always the best option.
That tool, while very efficient, has no "folder" mode which means you're supposed to use a commandline for every new/modified file.
It's ok when you have a very small amount of files that were modified, like in this case or for Torchlight 2 (4 existing files modified : 120Mb for Theta vs 1.1Gb for Reloaded).
But when hundreds of files are touched, it's a pain unless you're willing to write a custom script that will :
- build a list of all the new/modified files and create the diff files for all of them
- create checksums for every new/modified files
- create a batch file that'll check and patch all the files on the user-end installation
- verify the checksums after everything has been completed
I can understand one not willing to do that.
Here's another example.
I compared Borderlands 2 v1.0.0 (SR) against the v1.1.2 (SR - including all DLCs) :
- 5336 new/modified files (a pain for the checksums)
- Update 4 + Update 5 + crack = 1,92Go
- diff files = 1,95Go
- diff files compressed = 1,79Go (not worth the work)

Well there is no scene rule where a group is required to redistribute a patch strictly in form of already patched files intended to be unpacked over the existing files, anyway. Especially since most Steam releases (custom installers made by groups) already fit into the "homemade iso" category because of the nature of Steam game distribution method, but it gets tolerated since there is no other way for Steam games distributed only by download.
So if the scene tolerates this kind of packaging, I see no problem using differential patching method, as long as it is not done lame by a .bat file. They can make an InnoSetup or NSIS patch installer which will extract small files, call xdelta in the background and clean up temporary files when the job is done, so that everything looks professional.

And my vote goes to... I don't care. None of those is a story content DLC, just stupid vehicles and new "fancy" clothes. And here I was dreaming of getting to vote for the next story expansion :\

Yeah I guess they are already set with what they're doing for the story and now they are mostly giving the fans a way to choose which of the two smaller DLC (already existing judging by Steam.) will be released next.

It seems you are using skidrow crack, You need to copy the luma emu files again.

Everytime i try to make the game work on fullscreen my monitor goes black and the only thing that appear is "Signal Out Of Range"  |
Use a resolution/refresh rate that's in your monitor's range.
R7 2700x @4GHz / MSI B450 Tomahawk / beQuiet! Dark Rock 4 / 32GB @3000 MHz / MSI RTX 2060 Gaming Z / Samsung 850 EVO 250GB / Western Digital 1TB / Fractal Design Meshify C Dark / SuperFlower Leadex Gold 650W / DELL whatever 27 inch IPS

Yeah, needs time to get used to the controls (especially while driving) on keyboard+mouse, but it's a good game, well optimized and worth your time if you like GTA-like games.
