Another 60gb Download???

[Schrader]

I downloaded the game last night and was just about to start playing it. I finished the 98gb download and now there's another 60gb suddenly? Tf???

Probably the HD assets, you can deactivated it in the DLC tab

I don't have any HD assets in the DLC tab. Is it the DLC episode by any chance? It says it's already installed and there's no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ explanation for another 60gb...

It's the 4k resolution pack, it's there as a dlc. The game + the 4k pack will be 150gb+ in total

Just uncheck it to remove it from your game. All it mostly does is give you more higher quality CGI cutscenes and somewhat better quality textures, I think (some people said it was just... OK). There's only like 3 CGI cutscenes in the game.

There's nothing to check I already said that... It's not in my DLC list

OOOOOOHHH, then maybe Steam just had a big brain fart. Check your game files and see how much space it takes up on your computer. It should be around 90-100GB.

If it's around there, I'm just going to assume Steam downloaded some update that replaced a bunch of files.

Did you downgrade to version 1.25? If so make sure you change the appmanifest so that Stateflags is 4 so Steam reads it as fully updated.

That download should be around 17GB though, I know because I downgraded then re-updated to do some tests.

Yes the version 1.25 downgrade content is 17GB but if you didn't modify the appmanifest Steam knows it's not updated and will update it to the latest version again. To prevent that you need modify the appmanifest, changing the Stateflags part to 4....with Steam closed.

I had Steam saying I had a huge update (60/70gb if I remember right) and it was because I moved the games install folder to a different drive and in the process Steam tweaked the stateflags component in the appmanifest so it wasn't shown as upto date. Changing it back to 4 fixed the issue. I suspect it'd need to be done quickly before Steam actually makes any changes to FFXV files or you may need to DL it all then redo the revert part again.

Obviously that only applies if the Appmanifest Stateflag is not 4.
