Download Size

[myfamilyrocks]

Can someone please share the download size for Galactic Civilizations III?

I have monthly data caps, so I need this information to know whether or not I can purchase the game (i.e. if the compressed download is below my monthly limit).

As a follow-up question, would it be safe to assume that patches are much smaller regarding download size (I'm just making sure that each patch is not the entire game in itself)?

Thanks.

It's around 6.6GB download. Patches are much smaller - usually around 20-30 MB.

Do you have any times where your data is unlimited?I have satellite internet with a monthly cap but certain hours (12am-5am) I have unlimited data so thats when I usually download games or any large patches for other games.

uh under local files it says disk usage 9866 MB on drive C:. Personally if i where you i would wait a month or 2 before getting it because it crashes a lot . it feels like we bought a broken game and are waiting for them to send a repairman.

Thanks, Yarlen -- I appreciate the information!

Aldon_47, unfortunately, I do not have unlimited times. I currently have Verizon 4G. It's expensive and the caps are very low (and very expensive), but it's been fairly reliable and fast. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

And thanks, as well, Neckrosiss -- that's good to know as well. I probably will wait on this one.

Install size is close to 10 GB. Steam compresses the download, so it's smaller.

I've had 3 crashes (CTD) with over 300 hours of gaming....2 of those CTD's were pre-launch....I'd say the game is very stable....just because SOME people are getting instability issues is no reason to shy away......EVERY SINGLE game ever produced had some % of players experiencing crashes.

I was going to make a comment until Mastarfin did. I've had a total of 2 CTDs in over 300 hours of gameplay, have I encountered other bugs, yes, have some of them since been fixed, yes. So this game is relatively stable atm.
