![]() ![]() This can be a fairly long process (often see people complaining about 1-2 hours of decrypting/unpacking) and there are apparently still people that decide to cram their drives to the absolute fullest (I get it - you paid for the drive, you kinda want to use all of it - but it's kind of a double-edged sword, with most / if not all things). ![]() ![]() If you barely have any space left, you're forcing Steam into doing all this in many more operations, verifying everything in much smaller "chunks".įor every little "chunk", it needs to decrypt/unpack -> Verify against pre-loaded data -> delete the pre-loaded data it just used -> rinse and repeat. Part block-fitting puzzle, part home decoration, you are invited to create a satisfying living space while learning clues about the life you’re unpacking. Depending on your setup (generation, combination of hardware and age of said hardware this shouldn't usually take more than 5-20 minutes - but there are a few factors to it all as well). Unpacking is a zen puzzle game about the familiar experience of pulling possessions out of boxes and fitting them into a new home. So a (kinda) rule of thumb here, is to have around 2x the size of the pre-load (can be a bit smaller - but don't ever put it on a "near full drive" where the pre-load just barely fits) available on your drive.īy doing this, you've got enough space available for Steam to do decryption/unpacking in "one go" and then delete the pre-load data afterwards. What many apparently aren't aware of, is that it takes up a lot of space. Pre-installed 86gb and now steam is unpacking 116gb Every pre-load in steam history does this. That all sounds pretty straight forward, right? Is anyone else having to Unpack the whole game now after already pre-installing it Pre-installed 86gb and now steam is unpacking 116gb. That data then needs to be decrypted/unpacked. When you pre-load something on Steam, you get the encrypted/packaged data. I've stumbled across so many users complaining about decryption/unpacking taking ages, on pre-loaded games, so I thought I might try and help a bit. ![]()
