RNG_of_Doom 2 Posted February 10, 2019 Why is Steam reserving tons of GB (60+) for a few MB or GB Update? Sometime its not possible to load the Update because the HDD is "out of space". Got this Problem only with WW3. Can anybody help? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weedtime 640 Posted February 10, 2019 Because the Steam needs to make a safe copy of the whole game, before updating files. Then space is released. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why is this problem still there? P.S. Thank you in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It happens with most of the games, 70 degrees is safe and probably max temperature of your SSD with maximum efficiency. Steam copy/reserve space for the whole game, before an update to improve performance in allocating new files. I'm not really into this, it takes max 2 minutes for me after download, so don't really care, my SSD works on 42 degrees... We talking about 7 files when you check integrity? It's not fixed, because no one track the files yet, if you can do it, please send us information which files are replacing every time, it's just not important at this moment, as the 7 files don't really matter.

Ragir 4,692 Posted February 13, 2019 Ok, so this is related to two things: 1. We can choose how we do our updates with Steam. One way is to redownload each whole pack, even if it has only 1mb changed in it OR only download what changed and REPACK this data. We chose the second one, since some people might not be able to redownload the whole game each time we make a change (and we had 5 patches in the last week - imagine that). Some people only have 50GB data caps for the whole month, so this is probably not a good option. 2. Our packs are not yet optimized. As you can see in the screenshot below, we've only separated a few of them. We can do this much better, but there are 2 problems: it requires the game content to not change much (so we need to wait) and will require someone that really knows where stuff is and how its linked together and will take a month or so of just 8hr a day clicking. We can't afford to have our best people to do this for a month right now, especially with this possibly being rekt by additional changes we're planning. So, this will get a lot better in the coming months, just not yet, sorry. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RNG_of_Doom 2 Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I hope it will get changed soon. I dont want to hold 60+ GB free space just for 1 Game Update with a size of 2 GB or so. Edited February 23, 2019 by RNG_of_Doom 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you see an update for ww3 coming in, just delete the whole game and redownload it. That's the way i do it right now. It's faster most of the time too 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TZoningHard 651 Posted February 25, 2019 I sometimes just uninstall reinstall. This is my biggest tech issue with WW3. Dont play anymore outside of testing but when I try to install the game again It takes for ever because of this issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
