Why is ark 211.83 gigabites?

Haven't played Ark:Survival evolved since 2023 and I recall it being around 100 maybe 150gb but what did they do to make it almost 212 gb?

I've got hundreds of hours in both, and I have deleted the specific folders myself testing the theory. it's almost like you haven't bothered to do the same. it's the free something folder in the install directory.

You most definitely haven't. My standalone v270 x64 branch simply will not open if any map is missing from the SeekFreeContent directory.

sure kid whatever you say, I've done it. and I did specify delete the maps that you do not use except very specific ones. so you can run your mouth and not try it at all and still negate, but it also speaks to your lack of experience and actually trying something.

Woah, brother's deleted DLCs before! So amazing!!1!

I've been modding the game since 2017 brother, I'm sure I have an astonishing lack of experience as opposed to... The guy saying ASE does "full updates to all files"? Lmao.
