Concerning update download size

    The SSD I'm using for my main ESO installation doesn't have enough free space to download an additional 50+gb on top of the existing installation. When this update eventually goes live, will I be able to simply reinstall with the new download size, or will I effectively need 130GB of free space regardless? If the latter is the case, can we please have the update available as a separate installer that doesn't require the launcher?

    Guys we are not going to need an additional 65 GB to download this update. It is going to delete our current and re download the game. It will free up space on our hard drives with the game being a total size of the 65 GB. Everyone can calm down now

    This is not the way it worked for me. I had about 60Gb free on my hard drive, and the launcher threw the "not enough space" error. I had to delete the PTS folder so I could tell the launcher to install it again.

    Easy way to solve this (for those with money) buy a special external hard drive that is capable of holding up to 1 Terabyte of data (1000 gigabytes.) mind you it may make your wallets scream, but it’s worth it.

    I have an Emerald External hard drive for my console and, true to its word, it can hold a terabyte which is especially good for games with huge data downloads.

    This is a not a solution for people who like playing on SSD's. I'd rather not have to resort to installing the game on one of my several inferior hard drives.

    i just deleted everything except the Launcher. Update size remained same and no more "Out of Space" errors.

    This is what I ended up doing. I just cleared the contents of the pts folder.
