Download size.

The requirements for Euro Truck Simulator 2 days 12GB of storage, yet the download size is almost 18GB, does anyone know if the real size is less than 12GB?

[SecretOne]

My game size is 19.5GB and I have every DLC.

12Gb was what was needed for the Base game years ago before the DLC was released .. If you have any DLC, you need at least double the "recommended specs". If you use Workshop mods, or 3rd party mods, the total size increases again.

Edit: My main game install is also listed as 19.5Gb, and I probably have another 20Gb of Workshop Mods for near 40Gb total disk space.

I'm at 19.4gb myself.

Thanks for the replies lads, but my data limit is quite small, so that's why i was curious if it's possible to download the base of the game and no extra DLC's via steam, as i'd rather use Steam than the legacy version.

Not sure where others are looking for their install sizes but the total disk space used by the ETS2 directory in the Steam library in my case (with all map DLCs) is just shy of 21.5GiB and nearly of that is comprised the .scs files that make up the game filesystems.

Unfortunately for those with limited bandwidth the installation process will insist on downloading all DLC .scs files bar the maps even if you don't own those DLC and therefore an install with zero DLC selected is still 20.5 GiB (yes, the map DLCs are only about 1 GiB on their own, partly because a fair chunk of many of them exist in the 12.6 GiB base.scs because they overlap with either the base map area or other DLCs).

This means that those of us who don't bother with paint jobs or flags and don't play convoy pay a 6.7 GiB 'tax' under this regime. Hey ho, disk space and bandwidth are cheap right?

Download size != occupied drive space

Since I have enough hard drive capacity and an internet flat rate, it shouldn't really matter to me how big ETS 2 is. But I started with PCs in 1992 and at that time memory was very expensive and people were very careful not to have unnecessary junk on the computer. Somehow I still have this old-fashioned attitude and I know that there are users who do not have unlimited data volume. That's why I found it absurd until recently that Steam slams all the DLCs onto your computer without having bought them.
But now I also know its advantages. When driving in a convoy with others, they don't all have to have the same DLCs. You can only drive on the shared map material, but the others can also see e.g. b. the parts from the tuning packages even though they don't have them themselves.

I would recommend you have at least double the space than what is recommended. That info is out of date.
