PoE2 166GB !? (Solved)

[Belenos]

Hello everyone, quick question. I'm currently playing on a “Shadow PC” and I did the PoE 2 preload, but instead of weighing 83gb, it took me 166gb on my SSD. Does anyone have the same problem? I have DL on steam.

===========
R: steam will reserve space in your install directory for the game but your download is still encrypted so its held in 'depotcache'.
until its decrypted and unpacked to the install directory it will take up that extra space.

Its a cloud computing. Instead of a physical PC, I rent space on a server

where does it say 83.7 gb? I did the preload while having 185 GB free space it indeed occupying more than double of 83.7 gb

ohhhhh okay, so the weight of the game will return to normal once it's decrypted then? because temporary files will be deleted after decryption.
