Re: 71 GB INSTALLING ON PC STEAM?

@Krazimo There is not a way to skip the patching phase. When a game gets an update it will download the updates, then integrate the files into the game a few different things can determine how fast it can get through the process.

    The issue for me is that the update is not starting because of the patching thing, and that patching/installation is consuming extra disk space whereas my disk does not have 71 gb to spare.

    Hey @Krazimo Thanks for the update, the extra space need is meant to be temporary as the patch integrates new files and replaces old ones, Do we have the ability to move large no essential files (like photos, videos, etc) to another location or cloud system? If not we don't have a way to remove this process or cut into it, A reinstall might help if we can't get space to patch.

    @Krazimo Wanted to check if you were able to find extra room, or a work around to this?
