I would love to apply this 3.85GB patch, but because I don't have over 130GB free space on my SSD I can't.

What a joke...

FIX THIS.

this is how ue games are patched and there's nothing to fix, go free up space

Just figure out a way to get more money and then upgrade your system. Super simple.

If you're to cheap to add a SSD then you'll have to reinstall the game for a 3.85GB patch. This isn't survivor its UE.

the size it shows in the download screen before downloading is the compressed size, not the actual size of the update.

Taking that into consideration, it should show us the uncompressed size, at least alongside the compressed size.

You need the install size of the game free to be able to update. Another thing is if you don't leave 20% of your SSD free it will start to slowdown.

yup, that too, though I thought it was only 10% free disk space needed at all times to avoid slowdowns.

You need at least half but mostly double the space free of whatever update or game's file size you're installing. You don't want your OS on low space use another drive for games...

Games are just gonna get bigger not smaller, time to upgrade storage only yourself to blame...

SSD's used to be expensive a few years ago but are now super cheap, just get a new 1TB or 2TB one, reinstall windows, prosper

Why would anybody say anything besides that it's the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and stupidest way of patching the game. The guy doesn't need to buy ssd. The game needs to be refunded, or if not possible, uninstalled.

I guess all new UE5 games are off the table for people to stubborn to upgrade their storage that's already almost full.

It's the standard of patching the game in the a "console" first world, where everything is held in sets of large archives, instead of loose files. Console players have been dealing with this process since they started doing software updates on console games- and we've just been lucky on PC so far due to various PC developers using their own home-grown engines.

As more and more PC developers standardize to console-friendly engines like Unreal Engine, this kind of patch process will become more and more the norm.

Guys get real. I have SSD's in my rig, which is what all my games are installed on, but having to reserve 15-20% of a 1TB for patching purposes is a joke and people should not be defending this.

[potato]

you should have 20% free anyway as filling up an storage device to the brink is harmful to its lifespan

You should do some research into your SSDs because if you want the speed you paid for you should have 15-20% free, some even call for 30%.

It's actually not good for SSD to have it filled for more than 80%.
