Ark Survival Evolved over in the corner hoping nobody notices its 700GB+ if you download every map.
Need a fucking server farm to have that one installed because no one on that development team knows what they’re doing. Isn’t there some duplicate remover a fan made that slims it down by a significant margin?
I don’t play ark, but if what I read in this thread is to be believed, I’m pretty sure you’d have to repackage the game which is a big copyright nono. Also you would have to redo it with pretty much every content patch. So, probably not.
Yeah might be for just local play, not official servers. Idk tho 🤷
I struggle to grasp how games can even fill up all of that disk space. Do they store all their textures uncompressed?
I make VRChat avatars and I’ve looked at the models for COD characters and weapons before.
The sheer amount of material slots on those things is crazy. Like a whole ass material for a tiny texture that’s just like, the walkie talkie on a character. It’s so unessciary and while excess materials isn’t the only reason the game is unoptimized, it’s very telling of how much optimizing they actually do (basically none).

What? Are they using some special non-PBR effects?
Nah just don’t like uv unwrapping and mapping properly I’m guessing 💀
I can definitely recommend it tho! And it’s more expensive than an SSD than can hold it and 40 other games
edit: (to clarify) ssd’s are cheap af. If you can buy a game for 80 euros, you can buy an SSD for 15 (or more)
Problem comes when Anon has a laptop and doesn’t want external drives
ssd’s go inside a laptop too
Not anymore really. SSDs are mostly soldered in nowadays.
Surely that’s just some apple bullshit. Asshats always seem to follow them but surely that’s not becoming a norm… Right?
Plenty of consumer laptops sold within the last 5 years have soldered in SSDs. Apple does it because it makes for great market segmentation.
