147gb free space

[sushihauva]

required once again to download 17gb update. What exactly did I have to do this for? Is the piano now fixed? Or perhaps gongaga mushroom minigame?

Or maybe the atrocious lighting?

Highly doubt that's how "steam works." Never had to redownload a game because the update demands more space than the install file of the game in over a decade of being on the platform.

Its a unreal engine 4 problem.

it is how steam works when it patches, its just misreporting the size, it should only be reporting the size of the patch files, where it is sometimes reporting the patch files and the original game files also, and sometimes it counts both twice

yeah no patch is 17gb but game had to shuffle 140gb of files. Steam just reports the data it moves, not the data it downloads. Unreal engine is the reason why patches are 17gb, it packs game data into containers, and you have to download the whole container for the patch. Am glossing over for simplicity's sake here.

You need free space because you need space for the patch itself, the uncompressed version of the patch, and the OG files. Everything settles down after patch is applied, and you should always have 100-200gb free for that kind of stuff. ^^''

ie: you are overreacting

Who is overreacting and about what? Update won't even start without 147gb free space.
Piano is still ♥♥♥♥. Mushroom minigame is still ♥♥♥♥. Lighting is still ♥♥♥♥.

Another 17gb of what exactly? What changed?

Anyone defending 147GB space requirement for a 17GB patch is delusional and part of the problem. And don't even get me started on 17GB patch for "Improved overall game stability, including several bug fixes"

[Hans Dampf]

Seriously, these patch sizes are gettting completely out of hand.

[Trumpsheadshot]

Agree. It is simply absurd to require 147GB free space for just updating FF7.

some things just aren't worth getting your panties in a twist about, and you should have that space not just for updating rebirth ^^'' Is not ideal to run SSD's filled to the brim all the time, and it helps everything a bit to have free space.

That being said, I don't even have 140gb of space on any drive, and patch made it through np. I have 97gb free on the drive rebirth is installed on.

Is easy to pin this on developers and say it's unacceptable, but in this case, it's unreal engine's fault, and if they picked it, there must be more positives than negatives. They are aware of the downsides of UE4. ;p

and that's an excuse how? 200GB of pointless writes to an SSD can be converted to actual monetary loss. Maybe each game should pull such stunt once or twice a week?

nothing to excuse here if the problem is you overreacting and being unable to keep your computer clean/buy storage space.

what kind of answer do you expect from me or square with that attitude ? :P
You're tripping all over your shoelaces with it, making yourself look like the problem.

Also I run my OS on a 12 years old-something sata SSD. Always have ran it on this. If writes were really a concern to the point where square should pay attention to that, my SSD would've given up the ghost a long time ago. ;D
