How much space do I need?

I have this game solely allocated to another drive which is 128gb, or 119 usable, and currently with ntfs compression I have 58.8gb free, though I keep getting the message that I dont have enough space for PTS installation of Summerset, to which I got aninvite code for. I cant Raid 0 the other 128gb drive I have, but perhaps there is some trick to getting this to work? You only need a large amount for installation, I am thinking I could somehow allocate other large files off of the drive and put them back on when PTS is finished installing.

    67.6 GB (72,634,647,786 bytes)
    is my install size for the PTS

    27.5 MB (28,861,043 bytes) of which is usually in mydocuments but I've got it symlinked so it's on one of the SSDs

    you do NOT want to try and squeeze a PTS build in and full up your SSD because it will SLOW down. Keep 20% free at all times.

    You also shouldn't use NTFS compression on it. It requires exctra cpu power meaning fps is affected and response speed while accessing game files

    Buy a larger SSD tbh, 1TB and you're set for quite a while

    While the final installed size is roughly the 65GB mentioned, during download and installation you need a lot more. The launcher will not start installing with less than 80GB, but I think I hit somewhere between 100 and 120GB.
