I can't install the game because it is 140 gb
This afternoon I bought the game in instant gaming, and both in IG and in Steam the game says that it weighs 60 GB, but at the time of downloading it puts me that it is 140 GB and I can not play it, someone knows what to do or how to solve it ? Nor can I put a ticket on the Ark page.

♥♥♥♥ my life so, but then, Steam it's wrong with his information. Do you think that I can use it for something?
The download is 30g.... but its compressed.... 100+ when its unpacked.... buy a bigger hdd

my guess is no refund for purchases from a third party site.

I have no clue what IG is, if the OP bought the game there probably have to try to get a refund there, but its doubtful.

Harddrives even SSD are so cheap now.

IG is a page to buy digital keys for games, but they don't refund the keys

Well your stuck with a game you can't play.

Find the fastest mechanic harddrive you can get 1tb or more.

Or at least a 500gb SSD.

Ark will technically run over USB 3 connected harddrive, but a real connection to the motherboard is better SATA or m.2

60gb is the base game. It's the DLCs that add the other 80gb. Just opt to not install those until you can afford a bigger hard drive.

Either invest in atleast 500GB of space for the game or don't play it honestly. The number of gigs will only increase with each update.

Just to make sure of if you buy a HDD for it, can you first show us your PC specs? Just to be sure you are not wasting money here.

Maybe investigate a game before you buy ? Forum search helps.

Isn't the base game between 60 and 80 gb? Pretty close to what's shown. And the specs on the store page are the minimum ones to be able to launch the game and play on low memory or DX10 or some options like that. Weird enough there is no recommended specs who are generaly found on most games box.

They get upset for getting more because they didnt plan on more and thus have to make space.
