Ark survival evolved

[Dragonboy29]

Why is my Ark costs 128.12GB when on my moms computer and my nintendo switch say 60GB?

Nintendo switch is a console. A completely different version of the game

Your mom's PC I assume is via the Windows store? You didn't mention. But that is the Xbox version of the game.

actually the current switch version is an upgrade and ARM-switch optimised of the last xbox version.

because you got dlc's installed too
and the devs need tons of gigabytes to install some new map or a few models to an already existing weapon

Ok? Not sure why you're quoting me with that lol. It's still a different version to what the OP is using.

If they have dlcs as well the game size would be larger than 128GB.

128 is base game size for the steam version.

All 12 DLC's and the base game require an installation of over 300GB.

Last time I did a full install it was >430GB. Probably even more now as that was a while before the end of life.

guys i need help i installed ark through steam but when i launch it it just opens epic and i dont have ark on that help me

[Alessio]

try to start it via command line:

steam://rungameid/346110

That answered my question. I saw system req saying "60GB" and thought maybe they removed the need for DLC installation when you dont own them, but i guess system req info is like always = useless.

According to Steam's breakdown for installation on this computer, PC Game is (rounded up):
Total 434GB
Game: 129GB
All DLC: 306GB
Workshop (mods): 2GB

The DLC is optional. Open Steam -> Right Click game -> Properties ... -> DLC -> check / uncheck as desired.

Being above 150k files, actual size on disk in this case is 446GB inkl a Island savegame for tests (files can only be written by sector, so on average at least half a sector is wasted per file, sector size depends on disk, filesystem and file system options, so vary from partition to partition).

Mods include Dino Tracker, Loot Picker Upper, Bitou's 2k Binocular, Jack & Jill, Structures Plus (S+), Death Helper, Auto Run - Func+, Castles, Keeps, and Forts: Science Fiction.
So I actually expected them to take up more.
