A <strong>Arrowhead<\/strong> knows that this frustrates the players and is looking for a <strong>solution<\/strong> to avoid duplicate files between <strong>HDD<\/strong> e <strong>SSD<\/strong>thus reducing the size of the game.

A <strong>Arrowhead<\/strong> acknowledges the problem and says that reducing the file size is a priority for the team.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"causaidentificada\">Cause identified<\/h2>\n<p>According to the game director, the PC version retains support for mechanical hard disks (<strong>HDD<\/strong>) and solid state drives (<strong>SSD<\/strong>). To speed up HDD loading, the game duplicates some files, which significantly increases total disk usage. On consoles, where <strong>SSD<\/strong> is standard, there is no such redundancy.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"possvelsoluo\">Possible solution<\/h2>\n<p>The studio is studying the alternative of creating separate updates for players with <strong>HDD<\/strong> and for those who use <strong>SSD<\/strong>. If feasible, installation on the PC could theoretically be reduced by up to <strong>50%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Evaluate whether it is possible to distribute separate patches for HDD and SSD.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Measure how much duplication can be removed without affecting HDD performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Test the changes before releasing a wide-ranging update.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"prximospassosecautela\">Next steps and caution<\/h2>\n<p>The technical team has not yet defined the final solution. Studio officials are urging caution: improvement is possible, but depends on a lot of testing and validation. More information will be released in future press releases.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"concluso\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The problem is clear: <strong>Helldivers 2<\/strong> occupies about <strong>150 GB<\/strong> on the PC a size that <strong>Arrowhead<\/strong> considers <strong>unacceptable<\/strong>. The main cause is <strong>duplication<\/strong> files to support both <strong>HDD<\/strong> as <strong>SSD<\/strong>which swelled the overall file. The proposed solution was to distribute separate patches for <strong>HDD<\/strong> e <strong>SSD<\/strong>\u00a0can <strong>reduce<\/strong> disk space by up to <strong>50%<\/strong>but it depends on testing and validation so as not to compromise performance.<\/p>\n<p>To follow developments and other news, see the original source and updates at: https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/games\/third-person-shooter\/helldivers-2s-150gb-pc-install-is-unacceptably-large-and-arrowhead-hopes-to-work-out-a-solution-that-could-theoretically-slice-the-size-in-half\/ and more articles at https:\/\/redeblox.com.br.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Helldivers 2 uses so much space on your PC that it's a nuisance.
