only 20gb predownload?

Compression.

honestly, if you are in a similar boat like me with a very fast internet and a very mid speed SSD, dont bother preloading. The decompression will take longer than the fresh download!

oh, thanks

As far as I know every download - either preload or "fresh" is compressed... how much is just a question of what software and settings were used - sending data costs money.

it can be 25, uncompressed 70... but even in this uncompressed 70 there are often still compressed textures... thats why it will need 100gb disk space, cause depending on ram and the system it will temporary cash data on the disk

Procedural map generation also helps a lot when it comes to shrinking the download size, as we don't have to download any of the map files.

oh no!
