Easy way to lower install size: download Video files associated with your language ONLY

notnsane · January 2020

On depot/Video there are files like Morrowind_Opener_en.bik that are replicated for every language supported. So we have duplicates in languages like Japanese or French or whatever, that we're not ever going to use. We're talking about many, many GBs of storage - Elsweyr_Opener_en.bik is clocking at 429 MB and there are 5 languages supported, so that's 1.7 GB of wasted space. And the worst thing is that every year it's going to be worse.

Just make the game download the proper files and not download the files for other languages. Make the other languages opt-in.

Hope this is ready for Update 25.

I can tell you it will not be ready for U25 unless it is already planned for U25.

They have not mentioned anything about changes to the launcher, so I doubt it will be an option.

Totally agree here maybe they should do something to make it so you don't have to have all the other language files it could reduce the size even more. Because I only speak and understand the english language and to me hearing or listening to other languages is like listening to something I can't even understand like what going from one ear to the other not making any sense of it.
