PTS free space requirement?

Hey! Can anyone tell me how much free space I need for PTS? Yesterday I tried to install it on my SSD, 90gb free space left, and I couldn't install it, because it ran out of space.

    It needs just as much space as the live server plus a more due to compression and what not.

    I think from memory that it specified 80GB but I wouldn't guarantee that.

    You already have the game on that drive and you have 90GB left? Or you are trying to install the game+ PTS on a 90GB drive?

    The live game + PTS will be more than 90GB altogether and the installer needs some room to decompress files.

    My PTS folder is 56GB.

    The entire ZOS folder is 108GB (but that includes some addons).

    I already have live game installed on sam drive. It's 52gb. So 90gb is free space, and when I try to install PTS it gives me an error "not enough space" after I download it.

    Hmmm. The 90GB should be more than enough. Well here is what I would try: Move your live folder to another drive temporarily (like physically drag and drop the folder in order to free up more space), then go back tot the launcher and try to install PTS again. Be sure to pause the live client install if it tries to start installing that again.

    When you are done drag your live folder back where it was. It could be the installer just needs a few more GB's for decompression.

    This is what I would try. I am not responsible if you mess up your install, lol.

    You could also check how much space your system restores are taking up, and reduce that if need be. You need to remember that the game will need a lot more space during the installation than it will take up afterwards, and that your operating system will need a decent amount of space left free for itself.

    Yah my Live folder is 51.9 GB, my PTS folder is 56.0 GB

    I think the OP just needed a bit more space for the installation to go ahead.

    Yeah, probably need additional swap space for the installation files. It's 56GB when it's done, almost every game uses more space while actually downloading & installing.
