How much free drive space will be required for 2.5 upgrade?

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.

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.

+1, would be very interested to know how much temporary incremental space will be needed before the option to remove 2.2

Currently 1.5.8 takes up 50gb and 2.0 67gb on my other drive. 2.5 in full well over 100gb for sure.

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:

I assume you make 100 GB FREE!

 

 

 

So free up. Bounce the branch if you want to play next wednesday on 2.5! And install or hold 1.5.8 Open Beta!

 

 

Later on, you can switch OB or Branche version.

Yeah... this is impossible. Also, this is not how much is required because we already have some of the files on our computers...

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.

That's strange. I have the OA with NTTR and Normany installed and I copied over the files. Still, i have 50GB to download.

 

+1.

 

Same here...

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...

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?

 

 

If I copy and paste the whole install folder in a different Hard drive, Do you think this going to work?

You will need to edit the windows registry key to match the path of the new hard drive. And also update the path of your desktop shortcuts.
