160GB of free space and still not enough to download ESO?!

Krzysztof

Probably no one cares but I have to say I'm pretty frustrated right now.

As my Macbook Pro for some reason doesn't want to use GPU while playing ESO (and the support was not helpful at all), I decided to download Bootcamp and install the game on Windows. I created a disc with around 170GB of space to make sure I have enough and didn't download anything else. On the official website it says I need at least 125GB to download and install the game.

I've waited a good few hours to install Windows and then ESO. And now I have to do the whole process again because apparently 160GB is not enough!

It's ridiculous considering that some people have smaller discs and it simply means they can't play even though theorically they have enough space for the game itself.

For the install you need free space about twice the game size. Once for the download and once for the installed game. The download will be cleaned out after the install but during the install both takes up disk space at the same time. With the 100M-3G regular patches it does not noticeable, but with the full game install you need quite an extra free disk space during install.

Our help article linked below has some reasons as to why you're encountering this error when installing or downloading ESO.

What do I do if the ESO installer is telling me I don't have enough disk space when I do?
