Updater only uses default drive after update.

After an update I was confronted by a situation when the updater told me that the possibility of downloading an update to another drive and installing from there is no longer available.

I don't think this is a good decision because a lot of DCSW users have it on an SSD and finding the extra space needed for an update can be a problem.

I only have about 16 Gb free on my 256 Gb SSD and the update needed more than 20. I really had to think hard how to free up disk space...

The new update requires 60 something GB on my SSD... It looks like I have to uninstall modules to get updated :-(

Sad to say, it may be time to invest in a bigger SSD. I know money is tight, mine is too, but the game is growing and growing.

My main install folder is up to 212 Gb on a 500Gb SSD. I have some other games on the same drive so, I may be trying to buy a 1Tb soon.

Good luck.

 

Edit:   Bigger and better hardware is becoming necessary in order to run many newer titles.

          It's getting harder and harder to play anything on a "potato."
