Re: Question About Update Size

So why is the origin app telling me, that my 21 gb i have free on the drive, are not enough, for the update ?

A streamer i watch, just confirmed, that she had a very fast update today, and she is using Steam !

I am using the Origin App, it is 2023, and it is STILL like that it shows 47 gb for a season update.

I am so annoyed of this crap, honestly. It is definetly not only the verifying process.

If the update for the new season is only about 6 gb, why are my 21gb i have free on the drive, not enough.

It won't let me update, saying there is not enough space on the drive.

Verifying comes AFTER an update btw.

The game is 67,4 gb huge on my drive with 21 gb free space available, and the update is clearly shown to be, and claimed needing 47 gb free space.

So what you tell people here is, that it accidentally mixed up, files to verify, with the update files that have to be downloaded,

and completely forgot to show, how big the update will be ? Because , it never showed, the about 6 gb update size.

Someone really has to get his stuff together at Origin ngl.

To clarify. It will NOT start the verification process, if you don't have 44 gb free on the drive.

Therefore, this answer is not correct.

I just did the update. How ? I had to delete another 30 gb game, so i had 51 gb free on the drive (had 21gb free before doing so) .

THEN, and only THEN, the verifying of 44gb gamefiles started, and was done really quick. It did NOT do that, when i only had 21gb free.

After verifying, it then proceeded downloading a 13 gb update, and the game was launchable ( gave me a bluescreen first, but now works. ).

SO, WHY ON EARTH, WEREN'T 21GB free drive space, enough, for a freaking only 13 GB small update ?!!!

Now i end up having a 30 gb game uninstalled, for a 13 gb update, although I HAD 21gb free !

And guess how much free drive space i had, after the update, 49 GB !!!!!!!!!!!!!

This means, the game only grew 2 GB bigger with the update.

13 gb are installed, and 11 gb of old files removed.

And that is what i am saying. If they remove the old files first, and THEN put the new files in,

a few gigabytes free on the drive would be enough to do an update.

But at the moment it demands people to have freaking 47 gb free on the drive, for a 13 gb update.

The game folder size before the update was 67 gb, now it it 71 gb.

It only verified 44 gb btw. That is 23 gb less, than the game folder size. Very confusing.
