Dirty Rotten Flieger Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) I couldn't get the updater to work and eventually I realised that there was not enough space on the SSD for the installation and the download folder within DCS file structure to download the update. So I put DCS on a 500 gig SSD that also has IL2X installed. It had over 120 gig free space, even that was not enough and I had to move it to a 1TB SSD. This is absurd. How big is the DCS folder supposed to be with most of the modules ? 280 gig is what I am seeing now I got it updated to open beta Edited April 1, 2022 by Dirty Rotten Flieger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXsenna Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 How many modules/maps do you have? I have everything, and mine is about 350+GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rotten Flieger Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 Thanks for the reply. So this is working correctly it seems. I have most of them. It seems to have tripled in size even though I haven't added any new modules. AT least I know it's working correctly now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Yeah, DCS is big. 290GB on my end, and I don't have any WWII content. If you're into that, better shell out for either a bigger SSD or a dedicated one for DCS. I had to boot both Il-2 and X-plane off to a SATA SSD (my main one is M.2), luckily they're not as big performance hogs as DCS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had updating problems, there might be some leftover temp files left in _downloads folder. Then there are other usual suspects to check: backup folder with old custom mods moved by updater, auto-saved multiplayer replay tracks in Saved Games location... All these can waste quite a few gigs of space and should be purged on regular basis. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
