400 giga?
That sounds a lot....
Before aberration it was 116GB on my drive with all maps/DLC installed.
You're telling me that you now need 400GB?

I think he's referring to when it installs-usually when the files uncompress, they can take up 100-200 gigs more than normal, before shrinking back down.

But even then, 400 is a lot.

i want to see a screenshot on the installation folder that this is sucking up 400gb....

installation folder is way smaller, but, for example, during Aberration update Steam reserved ALOT of extra space for it. In several cases it required/reserved up to 500Gb of disk space during the update process.

So if it is quite possible if @Teodz havent updated for quite a while - Steam will pretty much:

- download whole new version of the game client
- backup old game files
- unpack downloaded files
(at this point of Steam update it reserves/allocates maximum amount of space)

- check for new files' integrity and overwrite old files with new ones
- remove downloaded files and backups

In cases like this its actually much easier to just re-install game from scratch (dont forget to backup configs/survivor profiles and data).
