So it shows I need to update the game and i do it on my low-disc-space macbook - don't ask why...
But it doesn't matter how much space i clear it always says i don't have enough! (i already have about 26gb available).
someone tell me - how much space is this update?

    Hey @amirgelman.

    If you visit this link you can see the patch notes and it says at the top:
    The size of this patch is approximately 2.8GB for English, 600MB for German, and 3.6GB for French.

    The reason it says you don't have enough space is because the game requires 60GB of space in total (30GB-ish for the game and 30GB-ish for "patching space) and you have less than 30GB free. I'd suggest clearing some space or upgrading your storage, maybe put ESO on an external SSD?

    Hope that helps!

    The update itself will not take up 26gb of space, but it is a minimum requirement for ESO that you have 60gb of free space on your hard drive. This is to help accomadate the game while the patch itself is downloading and has not yet replaced the old files and whatnot.

    [Edit] I'm not sure how exactly it is calculated, but this happened to me for 1.6 and I had to clear a lot of space, but I don't think I ever actually had 60gb free before it let me download.

    Oh, and if it is only Mondays patch you are downloading, it was 2.8GB for the English client, with a small hotfix afterwards (don't recall, wasnt even 1gb though)

    A link the official statement of how big the file is: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/179679/pc-mac-patch-notes-v2-0-11#latest

    But as said above, you need around 30-60GB for it to work correctly.

    The small hotfix yesterday evening was a little over 102 meg.
    I'm not prejudiced; I hate everyone equally !
