folder size down to 3.61 GB (from 10.8 GB !!!)
Did they optimize all the assets or did they mess up something and there's stuff missing at the moment?

Listen, I am not talking about the update's file size.
I am talking about the game folder's storage size. My original folder size was 10.8 GB and it is now at 3.61 GB.

That's why I'm wondering WHAT they did to achieve this...


See here, where the size of 10.8 GB has been backed up by someone else:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/268910/discussions/0/1488861734100767893/

"installed it's about 11 GB."


So for those who don't read properly:

BEFORE the installed game took approx. 10.8 GB storage on my SSD.
And now - AFTER the new update - this has been drastically reduced to just approx. 3.61 GB.

That's cool, I'd just love to know more about it.

Probably changed how all the art assets were packed/compressed to make the filesize more sane for the Switch port, and brought said changes back to the PC release (and presumable Xbox One as well). To be frank, the game's original size was a bit ludicrous.

They mentioned that they worked this update with a new version of the engine, so, maybe they optimize the files in advance.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. They should communicate this, too.

Yes, the folder is now around 3 GBs. You were always able to actually heavily decrease its size on Windows 10 thanks to CompactGUI's compression but now the game's fully optimized so you only save like 100mb at best if you compress it further.

They optimized a lot.
