Fortnite doubled in size

I first installed fortnite in a wrong drive (C:), i noticed this and cancelled the download, it was 32 gb in size, after choosing the correct path it now wants to download 69 gbs of files, i've tried resetting the cache and heroic, changing the path back, etc. doesn't go back down to 32 gb. I'm using windows 10.

Did you try clearing Heroic cache?

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

yes both cache and resetting heroic

rising-crimson•2y ago

Then you would likely want to look at Heroic logs to see what it actually wants to download there Eg two copies somehow or just UI reporting nonsense

one sec im gonna try something so, im gonna press download and then check logs right?

rising-crimson•2y ago

(18:01:03) DEBUG: [Legendary]: Using cached install info

I don't use Windows or encountered that problem but this is probably the issue Maybe pass cleanup to Legendary?

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

ok, how can i do that? like do i reinstall or smt?

rising-crimson•2y ago

You don't reinstall but use Legendary seperately with that option passed. https://github.com/derrod/legendary#usage Then go back to whatever you're doing with Heroic but mine is just an assumption that it might be a legendary issue Someone like @Linguin would know better

not sure what's going on here is it new season or something? Could it be that they changed SDL config?

I clicked the install button for fornite and it shows those numbers (69Gb to download) that seem's to be the correct value maybe the 30gb value was wrong? I'd suggest comparing the download size between heroic and the official epic launcher, if they are different I think that's something to report to legendary since we don't calculate the download size, legendary reads that from the game manifest

optimistic-goldOP•2y ago

nope can confirm i downloaded it using legendary only downloaded 32 gb and its working once imported to heroic Tutorial win 10: Download legendary, open legendary.exe. once booted into cmd type legendary.exe install Fortnite --base-path desiredinstallationpathhere thats it
