lemoen Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Me and I'm guessing many others have 1.5.8 and 2.2 installed on an SSD. In my case I have around 25GB free. How much free space will be required to perform the upgrade? I know 2.2 will get removed afterwards but I'm guessing some amount of working space will be required. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Puma Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Great question Ill need to go shopping I fear. Especially with the upgrade paths having some overlap. Official answer would be great to hear including temp space during the download.

sze5003 Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Currently 1.5.8 takes up 50gb and 2.0 67gb on my other drive. 2.5 in full well over 100gb for sure.

Cibit Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 If we don't get an official response then I suggest following the forums. I know when we got 2.0 and NTTR the forums where full of gleeful people with fibre who had it before some of us could even log on to the torrents. I know it will be a little late for buying new SSD's but there may be helpful info regarding filesize etc :thumbup: i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB
lemoen Posted January 28, 2018 Author Posted January 28, 2018 The official line is a full install requires about 100GB, but this is not what I'm asking. I'm asking: How much free space is required to download the files and perform the upgrade?

Also, this is not how much is required because we already have some of the files on our computers...
ObiWanVA10 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Not a rocket scientist so don't laugh.......will putting one version (say 1.5.8 stable) onto external HD not work?

sze5003 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Clean your DCS folders from temp files :)I never noticed anything in Temp folder about dcs. I will have to check again. Either way I'm putting both 1.5.8 and 2.2 on a 1tb SSD sometime today or tomorrow. Although I can't find the windows registry key for 2.2. I think when the installer updated last week it may have removed it in preparation for the install of 2.5.

Alicatt Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Mine said 69GB and I have both NTTR and Normandy as well as 1.5.8 open beta and 1.58 release Only managed to clear out 65GB on the SSD so hoping for the best here... edit: says the download is 19GB and downloaded 15GB of that so far...

Moafuleum Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Are you sure its just not moving 50 gigs? Yes I am. It started from 0% with a very slow speed. It said it was copying but the ba didn't fill until it started downloading. I'm downloading since ~5 hours and i have about 50% now.
pepin1234 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I canceled my update. Waiting for some ED team answer this issue. What about if I have space in a different hard drive, can I direct the install there? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
