Заебись!

No way this is awesome. Cheers SR!

Holy sheepshit 70GB for a RPG?? IT WANTS A GTX 1060 lmao can’t wait to see what this looks like!!!

thank you guys!!

I’m installing on my D disk, but during the installation it takes up space on my C disk, why does this happen? @skidrowcodex

kinda bummed they switched it to turn based combat, wasteland 3 is the only turn based combat game that didnt made me bored

When you start the game through Vulkan, a black window with the game appears and immediately flies out (closes) and asks to send a report with a description of the error if you start the game through DirectX 11 then a black window appears with the game but it does not crash (does not close) but nothing happens no sounds, no pictures, just a black window, if you wait, the situation does not change. I have an Nvidia RTX2060 graphics card. Tell me this is a Repack problem or is it a problem with the game itself Please fix this problem PLEASE I WANT TO PLAY IT VERY MUCH

@Pebble,

Let’s see if I can answer this question….

1) The game is in EARLY ACCESS, it’s still in development.

2) Even though the Installer should install the game in a reasonable amount of time, it shouldn’t take too long or even be slow for some to install to their drives, unless A: The drive being installed to is already half full to capacity and is low on disk space, B: You are installing to an HDD drive with a slow RPM (Rate Per Minute Read / Write data transfer rate), or C: The fact that the Game Installer itself has the game’s data files highly compressed to 67.1 GB in the packaged GOG installer, and when actually installing the game to the selected drive you told it to install to, the game installer will build and create temporary files that will fill up some space on your Primary Drive, usually the C:\ Drive, before it starts to unpack and uncompress the full size of 150 GB of available storage space for the full game to be installed to your selected drive.

Do the math?

::: HOW TO MOVE WINDOWS TEMPORARY FOLDERS TO ANOTHER DRIVE :::

As some of you might know,… (or at least I’m hoping that some of you do), whenever you install something to another drive, whether it is an HDD or an SSD, your Primary Windows drive where your main Windows OS sits, will always fill up the Windows Temporary folders when unpacking data from a compressed archive or a packaged Windows Installer.

To prevent such issues with installing to other drive locations, especially if one of your drives is low on available storage space, you can move your Windows Temporary Folders to another drive location to preserve the free space on the drive you wish to install your program or game to without any installation issues.

In order to do this, I am providing here a simple enough visual guide to follow. Consider it like one of those, “For Dummies” books.

Just remember and keep in mind, that if you make any changes to the way things originally run on your Windows OS and your PC, to change things back at some point to how they were before, otherwise you could mess something up for yourself. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

The following method works for Windows OS from Windows 7 to Windows 10:

For some reason when it is installing it fill both my C and D storages, but I don’t have enough space to install the game. I even went to the options and set it to the one it had enough storage space. Did this happen to anyone?

::: GUESTS ASKING ABOUT CO-OP AND MULTI-PLAYER CAPABILITY :::

Guests who are asking about Co-op and Multi-player capability, you will only get and be able to use it, if the game is part of your game library and linked to your GOG Account.

Just like with STEAM, you physically need to have an account, and the digital store bought game already added to your game library in order to use the online functionality of both Co-op and Multi-player.

In the instance of some very few cracked STEAM versions of some games, yes there are ways to get around this for enabling online play through cracks, but they are still very few in number and only available for some specific games.

Where GOG DRM-Free games are concerned, there are no known cracks or a viable working solution to get around to enabling such online functionality for play, apart from the fact that you would have to already own the game, and it would have to be in your GOG library and linked to your own account in order to play.

I have confirmed this myself with both store bought GOG games that I have with online functionality (which of course work, because they are games I have in my library that are linked to my GOG account), and I have also tested this out with other GOG DRM-Free games I have gotten from sites much like this one (where even though the online capability is there, it won’t work, because it isn’t linked to any GOG account, and it isn’t a part of your GOG library).

For Guests and Members alike who try to offer up a reason for why they couldn’t have just looked into this themselves, and throw out an excuse such as, “Oh, well I’m not going to spend my time downloading a 70 GB game just to find out later that the online functionality of it won’t work for me,” I have this to say, you have no real argument to hold up.
It isn’t a valid reason that you are giving for not wanting to look into it yourself, it’s just a poor excuse to pass off your own laziness, and to expect that someone else holds your hand and does something for you, instead of doing it for yourself. That’s all it really is.

What I can’t figure out is how some of you are attempting to round out the compressed size of the game to 70 GB, when the actual reported size on GOG is 67.1 GB, and when the game itself is fully installed, it takes up 150 GB of available storage space. I have said several times already, and you can even check it yourselves if you want to.

Furthermore, the fact that some of you still can not comprehend the fact that installation time will gradually take longer than most of the game installations that you have gone through before, comes down to again the full size of that game installation which will be 150 GB of space taken up on your drive, so yes, naturally it will take longer than usual to install, but what boggles my mind is how some of you sit there and complain about it, without having the ability to comprehend this yourselves.

::: GUESTS ASKING ABOUT CO-OP AND MULTI-PLAYER CAPABILITY continued :::

Then there are those who wonder why their Primary Drives (where there Windows OS also resides) is filling up space as they designate another drive to install the game to.
Do they simply not realize, that whenever you install something, no matter to what drive whether it be internal, external, to a HDD or an SSD drive, that whatever is being unpacked from either an archive or a packaged Windows Installer, whether it is a game or a program, will always dump and fill temporary files into Windows Temporary folders as it installs.

If you don’t have enough available space on your Primary Drive where your Windows OS resides as well, the thing that you are unpacking and installing from the Installer is just going to seize up and give up, or roll back any current changes that it’s made on the drive that you were attempting to install to.

I offered up a solution to this, but as always, some of you fail to read and pay attention to what’s given out in terms of solutions. However, some of you have no problem asking about the same questions over and over and over again.

If ignorance was bliss, we would all be in our own personal Utopia. And if laziness was a commodity, we would all be doing it, without doing anything for ourselves.
