I mean, I suppose ZOS could have reminded everyone that "Hey, if your system normally requires you to have more free space than the final size in order to reinstall, its still going to do that..."
But honestly, remembering our own free disk space and how our systems handle installing large files seems like something we're responsible for, not ZOS.
I have a 111GB SSD with the only purpose to run ESO, and ESO alone. Do I have to buy a new SSD now? Because I ain't running an MMO on my HDD. That's stepping backwards in time.
So much for reducing the size, eh...
I did uninstall/remove the entire game from the disk, freeing the SSD to 100%. Still needs 125GB.
Really...?

Yes, we know this. But since they reduced the total size, wouldn't that also imply a reduction for the total needed to install? Idk.

My friend has a 120SSD harddisk with noting else on besides ESO.
Patch cant run on his harddisk cause it say he has to little space for it!
FIX it!
Game was supposed to be SMALLER!
He is angry and about to quit! I want to keep him in game! When will we see a fix to this with a clean install?

The game IS smaller...once its installed. The installation process requires extra space due to needing to download temporary files.

The least they could have done was make this a smooth, easy install. I have two 2TB hard drives in my system but both are close to being full (the one with ESO on it had 14GB free). Nonetheless, I've never had a game do this crap to me. I love ZOS but man, they really screwed up with this.
