ThomNG: Enjoy the new expansion Fatesworn :)
_Line: Hello. Thanks for coming in the forums to talk to us.
I was browsing the game files and I noticed that a big part of the game installer's size is on the different localizations the game have. Since we just use one language while we play, and I don't know if this is my ignorance talking here, would it be possible to release a patch so that we download the game only with one localization - the one we choose?
I tried removing languages I don't use from the folder of the game for testing, but the game just crash, which means those files are tied to the code.
Thank you.
Unfortunately they do not do this, nor provide decent compression versions either. The installers are poorly compressed probably to facilitate fast expanding rather than archiving. Even pirates offer to repackage languages/additional components so you only download what you need, and repacks if you need to save storage space. Unfortunately GOG is way way behind in their offline installers and lack the manpower/Will to do anything about it. You can’t even get or versions or old patches, and sometimes no patch is made available and almost always now without changelogs and such like.
It’s been mentioned several times before, and games are just getting bigger and bigger each month, serious Sam 4 is some 40gb plus which is fun when it is missing a patch, you get to download it all again (and likely have to store t multiple times in case they broke anything).
