[QUOTE="Admin, post: 67713, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2024/08/13/stalkerthumb-1723559698961.png[/IMG] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl'][U]S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl[/U][/URL]'s 1.5 Patch is here, introducing various tweaks and fixes, but it's the first phase of GSC Game World's modding tool that's dominating our interest… and our hard drives. "Shape the Zone in Your Way with the Stalker 2 Zone Kit," GSC Game World said. "Modify existing content or create new experiences — animations, weapons, mechanics, and even wonders of the Zone." Sounds great, right? Which it is, if you happen to have 700GB of space free… on [I]top[/I] of the 160GB you need to run the base game itself. The reason, GSC said, is because as part of its partnership with the modding community, the team is sharing a slew of uncompressed files so modders are using original assets in the development of their mods, which is better for everyone, of course. "The size of the mod kit is a result of the in-game assets being uncompressed for the mod makers," GSC told [URL='https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/wanna-make-mods-for-stalker-2-thatll-be-700-gb-of-hard-drive-space-please/'][U]PC Gamer[/U][/URL].
