Rythm 0 Posted February 2, 2019 So i'm downloading the new patch and besides the patch itself my disk has been writing like crazy and as it slowly fills up i try to find where it is and among the 100GB game i check the download folder which is now approaching 100GB aswell so a total of 200GB during the installation of the patch.

sand man 99 Posted February 2, 2019 100 gb for a patch............WTF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rythm 0 Posted February 2, 2019 As soon as it finished unpacking it probably swapped the game folder with the downloaded and now unpacked files freeing up 100GB of disk space. What the hell is going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jack Shadow 488 Posted February 2, 2019 Yeah, no shit. Delete what needs deleting first. a 100GB patch? Seriously, don't put the patch on the SSD, and then delete what needs deleting. I am not going to delete the few other games I have on Steam, just for this crap to download, and then free the space up. Clean up the game. Why does ARK and Atlas take so much more space than other games? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cannamina 0 Posted February 2, 2019 to me it seems like the game is downloading from beginning , (takes so much space) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outlavv 1 Posted February 2, 2019 such massive patches and you read patch notes and the content pushed in them is like server config changes and spawn rate adjustments... what nonsense are they installing on our computers under the guise of "game files"?

For every 100mb downloaded I lost 10gb free space. Had to uninstall and reinstall the game, and now my Rejoin Atlas is gone, sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why does ARK and Atlas take so much more space than other games? It’s the developers. They can’t code things properly and the updates are always a lot bigger than they need to be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konvar 24 Posted February 2, 2019 D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam - 300 Gb ( ARK + Atlas) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harryplopper 24 Posted February 2, 2019 Did the same for me. Its reinstalling the entire game from scratch. 31.9gb....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StarWhispers 11 Posted February 2, 2019 I am glad I bought a separate hard drive during my day of playing Ark. I figured it would be like this for Atlas as well, since Ark was always like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
