Steam says HDD requirement is 35 Gb. However, after downloading and installing, it takes up only 24.5 Gb. What might be the reason? Is there any info on downgrading texture quality?
Wonder when Steam pre-load will be available.
So please don't start inventing sinister reasons for it.
Steam hasn't "installed" it, it's just downloaded the files. So please don't start inventing sinister reasons for it.
Gog did install it. It even took like 15 minutes to install.The size is only 24.5 gb. Texture downgrade could be the reason unfortunately.

:rly?:Texture downgrade could be the reason unfortunately.
Can confirm, the "installing" was moving files to the correct directory. In my case HDD to SSD.GOG didn't installed anything, it just moved the files from download directory to install directory, that's the time when it says "Installing".

More likely, textures are stored compressed. Uncompressing on the fly is easy.
I can confirm that an install actually happens. It doesn't just move the downloaded files around. It actually unpacks them, there are all the resources in place, the config files are readable, there's an uninstaller, and there's an executable that just puts up a "not yet" dialog.
At least some of the content is encrypted, and encrypted doesn't compress. This is an equally likely reason for the lack of expansion on install.
That's not how it works, that's FUD. The preload is English only. Half the size in almost any game is taken up by Languages. If you're under the assumption that the 60GB in GTA V is because of textures then you'd be mistaken. Most of the time languages(text and audio) take up 30-50% or more(game dependant) of the size in games. So yeah that 60GB? most of that is Audio.Thank you for confirmation. So a huge game which takes up only 1/3 size of gta v. I expect seriously low textured areas in the game.
