Re: Game takes double disk space when patching or repairing

I have Jedi Survivor preloaded and am streaming gameplay right when the game becomes available, but then I saw a notice in the ea app a bit ago that I need to preload, but I already have it preloaded and if i click on reload it reatarts the preload. do I need to redo it?

    @Plushy_Tamer There was an update pushed for it that was around 2GB I believe. It was not a pre load again but just an update for release.

    @EA_Shepard I can tell you now, that is just not true. every time i hit update it allocated another 150gb~ of disc space until it keeps telling you "out of disk space" all up it was trying to take over 300gb of space and still was trying to take more as i was freeing up more space. it ened up swallowing my entire M.2 SSD.

    I had to uninstall and start from scratch this morning, now having to miss out on the launch time. what an absolute joke.

    Same thing happened to my mate too, 
    First and last time i will be using EA Launcher for new release games.
    Just to make things even more unbearable, the download speed struggles to go over 3Mb/s. every other launcher has not trouble hitting 14Mb/s. First time buying Pro, wont make that mistake again.

  • @Plushy_Tamer I'm having the same problem. I preloaded it two days ago and now when I went to play it the game was installed at 98%. It wouldn't install so I uninstalled it and tried to download it again. It won't download.

    @EA_Shepard Same Issue. I pre-loaded and it has taken up 256 gig. I've only got 49 gig free. On top of that I can't play it, because now It wants to download a 35 gig update that is going to take another 8 hours to download it. After I've already had my PC running for 48hrs trying to pre-load the thing. Is it even going to run after this update? Or do I have to start all over again? I'll be lucky to have any storage space left to run it.

    @Sir-Khuno Well I had no problem downloading and it hit 17Mb/s.
    But yes it does seem to be a problem with it taking up absurd amount of Space.
  • The update downloaded 135gb. The full game folder. Took 5 hours. 

    Downloading is slow enough, but the unpacking is terribly slow. 

    Fix this, please.
