    People, check the disk space on the drive. I ran into this error and found the drive was full. This was due to bad information given me by the installer. It said 24GB was needed and it is over 64GB.

    Just found your post after I posted a similar discovery. It is already at 63.6GB+ and said only 24. I think the game is growing and they are not changing the minimum amount requirements in the installer.

    Cheers, Will pass back about what the installer is reporting size wise, even this link doesn't specify an expected size.

    The only time i have seen the game installer go past 40GB is under the following conditions 

    • game is downloaded with bitraider and then is switched to non streaming , tested this a week ago.

    default install is now 39.4GB

    Yes, mine went from 64GB and ended up at 39.3 GB (42,302,558,208 bytes), containing 212 Files, 12 Folders.

    I archived the entire installation before launching the game because I thought I might give it to friends if they wanted to try the game so they wouldn't have to download it. It took forever (hours) for me even though my Internet is 1000mb/s. The server appears to be capped at about 100mb/s. I feel they need better servers for this because it is so large.

    I intended to put the files on a couple of Blu-ray discs, but for some reason, it won't work. The discs show about 25b bytes (23.3GB), but I can put only 9.5GB on each and then it says they don't have space. It's weird. Tried all sorts of file tools: ImgBurn, UltraISO, Windows, etc. No go, so I'm getting some 64GB flash drives and hope to put it on there.

  • The current Folder Size at the Date of 27.11.2019 is 44.9GB . Let a free Space of 65GB
