Not enough disk space to update

[ooga_booga]

I have Stalker 2 installed on a 232 gb ssd, i have 3 of these but all with only 232 gb of space. The update will not download saying I have insufficient disk space. Am i ♥♥♥♥♥♥?

Because you need the double the amount of the game so it can be patched. Very usual.

Best purchase a nice & fast 4TB NVMe as I did - games won't get any smaller.

Only way you could do it is uninstall the game and install it already patched.

it patched for me. i have 50gb of free space when the game is installed. it just took allot of time than usual. M2.SSD 1tb.

Then reinstall.

You need a bigger SSD or you need to use RAID mode to join them disk into one.

Update is approximately 13 gb, i have 70gb free space. It shouldnt be a problem. Its the first game i expierience same problem as a topic creator.

Needing at least 381 GB for a single game to update is actually baffling how they think that is okay.

only for troglodites who have no concept of efficient code. a patch should be a diff of the files not a full copy of the entire game.. dimwits

Troglodites are the majority now. There is no such thing as efficient coding anymore. (at least not in consumer products)

I just reinstalled the game, took me around 20 mins. Looks good, also performance improved on my rx 6700 xt, gained at least 20 fps

Ask Valve that question since this problematic of copying old data to temp dir is unique solely to Steam and its SteamPipe content delivery system.

EGS does not suffer from this problem whatsoever in otherwise identical game build (speaking about games in general, since this ain't a new problem unique to Stalker).

this is BS a over 90GB update wich is what? graphic crud and bug fixes that literally an entire new game for 90GB!

Use WSS to combine 2 of the non-system disks into 1 and then you will have enough space.
Or buy 560gb SSD for $24. Either way, this is not a real problem.
