It shows 2.14GB... is that correct for everyone?

I'm asking for two reasons:
1.- Where it says "Installed" it show right now "37.3 MB / 13.9 GB". Shouldnt it be more? It looks like it says i dont have anything installed (and believe me, the files are there)
2.- My launcher sometimes get crazy (specially after a blackout, which are pretty common in my country) and it tells me to download the whole game again even when its in the folder; i usually just move the files to the place the launcher its looking and it runs the game normally. As i said, it get crazy so even when i go to settings to tell it the correct place the files are it just ignore me and look in the root/default

I want to know if the launcher show that information to everyone (2.14GB in Downloaded and 13.9GB in Installed) so i can be sure the launcher is not going to download the whole game again... my internet is REALLY slow so i cannot afford let it download 13.9GB when i just need the update... Thx in advance~

    This is my first time back in a long time so i'm not sure if they had to download additional re-used assets from past events that I missed or something.

    The patch size is about 2GB. The game is reinstalling itself to accommodate the patched files.
