Two copies of Wasteland 2 Directors Cut in my library?

[Nathan]

Hey. Sorry if this has been posted before, but since the directors cut came out, I now have two copies of wasteland 2 in my library. Both are directors cuts, but one is about 15gb, and the other is about 19gb.

Anyone else have this? And is there any difference between the two installs?

Cheers.

must be some bug,
19gb - w2
15gb - w2dc

You say the 15gb install is the DC? I thought it would be the other way around if anything...

My guess is that one is the DC and one isn't, but both have the same library image (and probably shouldn't).

It's not a bug. You're supposed to have the original pre DC Wasteland 2 AND Wasteland 2 Director's Cut. And Director's cut is supposed to be smaller than original thanks to updated engine's better use of assests and better compressions of game assests.

Wasteland 2: 19574MB
Wasteland 2 DC: 15132MB

Oh and there's good reasons for it too as WL2 has lower hardware requirements than WL2 DC while WL2 DC makes better use of more modern hardware.

Good to know.
I bought this today (December 24th) and I was thinking the same.

By the way, what should we do with the non directors cut, since the directors cut now has better optimization so to speak. And why gave us two games at all?

Because classic version works on older hardware and has lower system requirements than DC so people with less powerful hardware can play it. Also not everyone liked all the changes made. If your hardware can handle DC and you don't care about consolization or have no issue with other changes, there is no reason not to go with DC.

Iirc, devs messed up with store page and iirc classic was the only one to drop trading cards. Was that ever fixed?
