And don't forget to uncheck the Hi-Res DLC - its a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ textures that don't make the game look better, make it run worse, and double the download size.

DLC or without?

Without

You need about 30+gb for the base game so make space. if your add the hd textures pack then could be like 80 gigs with all dlcs.
Do you only have 38gb left in your hard drive? Even if you make enough room to barely fit Fallout 4, you shouldn't fill your hard drive up completely. You need to make some space

Hey, only download

A quick Google search finds this:
https://help.bethesda.net/app/answers/detail/a_id/31458/~/how-much-hard-drive-space-will-the-fallout-4-install-take-up%3F

But that is only 1/2 the story. You will probably need twice that. Temporarily. The install-the-game files are downloaded then they install the game.

Without dlc it is around 30, like the store page says (before updates!). With dlc, I think it is around 50-60. The high def dlc (don't get it, btw) is 54 GB by itself. I can't give you a more accurate number since I have mods and my folder is sitting at 72.8 GB.

I think with dlc and current updates, including the initial CC items that automatically get downloaded, I think it's around 50-60 GB. If you start to download the game, it will check for space before it starts and will tell you if you don't have enough space, fyi.

Don't install the HD Textures if your native resolution is ≤ 1920•1080; it was designed with cards like GTX-1080 with 8 GB onboard RAM, so running it on cards with less processing power for montors smaller than its intended use will not provide desired performance, and will result in very long load times, freezes, and even crashes.

You also need a substantial block of free space on your drive for Swap Space, AKA VRAM (Virtual Random Access Memory, which is NOT Video RAM), which Windows uses to augment processing demands above what is available from your GPU and motherboard RAM. In other words, you'll have problems if your hard drive is crowded; you'll need to delete a whole bunch of files and uninstall non-essential applications…or buy a bigger drive. That's not just for this game, but other contemporary applications, which actually have demands exceeding those of this game.

Don't mean to be rude but are you sure the term vram really means virtual memory? Vram is mostly used to describe video RAM, which is the amount of RAM on your GPU card. You need roughly 2gb of vram for this game btw.

Btw, the virtual memory space that you need on your main hard drive is roughly twice the amount of your system RAM, and no more.

Bunny, I used to TEACH Computer Science. I got started in PCs before there was such a thing as the internet. Yes, I am ABSOLUTELY sure of what I said. Contemporary MISINFORMATION due to a lack of EDUCATION does not negate SCIENTIFIC FACT.

Get a degree in Computer Science, and THEN come back at me with your "knowledge."

Jeez, I really HATE it when people "educated" by the internet try to "correct" me. There's a REASON internet sources used to be prohibited in term paper bibliographies.

Get an EDUCATION, for Christ's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sake!

Just because a million and a half idiots say "nucular radiation" (like that MORON George Bush) doesn't mean that the CORRECT word isn't NUCLEAR.

P.S.: I earned my first degree in Electronics Engineering in 1978. I earned my second degree in Computer Science in 1984. I feel QUITE comfortable in my stated position.

Go back to school. THIS time, PAY ATTENTION.

...Wow, that was insanely rude and insanely condescending. The guy wasn't even that wrong, when people online talk about VRAM, they are typically talking about Video RAM now. It doesn't matter which one you were taught was labeled with the abbreviation VRAM, what's typical now is using that abbreviation for Video RAM.

Being someone that taught computer science, you should know technology is an ever evolving subject, and people will perceive it differently, like the fact that VRAM nowadays refers to the RAM on your GPU. I don't see why you're attempting to flex your degrees over that, it's not like that changes the way people use the term VRAM now. It's not like the common usage is incorrect either
