download size?

[Cocytus]

hey, i'm behind a volume limited internet connection and was wondering how big the installation file download would be for this game.
oh and please don't post the folder size of it being installed, i'm really only interested in the installer size that usually is just a fraction of the installed game

[andrewj100]

its about 60 or so gigs im not completely sure though

[andrewj100]

nevermind just checked its about 130 gigs with dlc i think around 100 without

just to make sure, how did you check it?
reason why i'm so stingy is i only got 90GB left for the next ~2 weeks so 100+ would sadly be off limits =/

with all DLC its 150gb, without its 100gb. I just checked my files.

My suggestion? Try find somewhere with free wifi that allows downloads, campus, cafe. Other than that idk if you could.

i'm on a desktop PC so can't really "find" such a place.
and like i said, the installed file size is unrelated to the actual download size but yea, already confirmed the size being above what i could handle atm since a friend of me just got the game a few hours after i posted this message.
thanks for replying anyways =)

I did redownload just today and it told me 130-150gb for the download. If you have the know-how you could either emulate an x86 system and download steam on your android phone (if it is android based) or install linux if your android phone supports it (which is rare).

Edit: Which you would use to download somewhere that has free wifi.

I don't own any DLC, that's my Folder Size. The base game and it's bits and pieces.

another option is to buy a USB stick, go to an internet cafe, use your steam acc to DL the game. then back up the game to the USB stick, take it home, and restore the backup to your PC there.

and the DL is 96.1GB, 101.3 installed, for me.

But imagine the fun you'll have installing Linux?

and it doesn't have a separate installer. the 'game' and 'Steam' is the 'installer' so giving the DL size is basically the correct answer.
also, Why did you necro an abandoned Post?
actually that's rhetorical.

normally there's a huge difference between installation folder size and the actual download size, usually the download is about 50-75% of the installed game at most, unless the developers totally didn't give a damn about compressing anything, and he's correct, i asked for the DL size but some (like that "natedawgg2287" for example) apparently just went and checked the installed size.

here a quick example, green would be the download size, red the actual file size after installation, took it from an update instead of a fresh installation, but the principle remains the same:
