Gilibran Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Let's all send a huge bill to Bethesda for file space rent. I mean, there's cost involved in renting server space so if they are using/occupying our personal disk space we can charge them for it right? Anyone have the adress of Bethesda financial department to send a bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moriartykain Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'm not saying this was what I was thinking when I paused/stopped the update and was deleting what files it had already downloaded. BUT.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc-lA_AxNEo :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS13 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 yep also found this out last night . All the assets in BA2 ... no espI moved them all to a different folder and also tried archive2 on it :wink:Steam downloaded the files again to my Data folderNo, that's the Hi-Res update. Or maybe Hi-Res plus CC. The CC FIles only take 2GB. But Imagine how many GBs it could be as it grows? They Bethesda'd this up big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyCeuin Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm in awe of how stupid this is. They're holding our drive space hostage. I'm fuming and will be leaving a negative review. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted3082751User Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) this does not bode well for solid state drives, which are already pretty small, hell windows 10 and a few hundred mods and my ssd is almost full already. so looks we are going to have to always play in offline mode, Fallout 4 - updates - only update when i launch this game then only play fallout 4 in offline mode Edited August 30, 2017 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moriartykain Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 So I downloaded the update and got my mods to keep working... Good thing I know what I'm doing (I think) as some had gone pop if you know what I mean. :pinch: As for the stuff in the creation club they are good mods, but at this time it is like someone is trying to sell you a ford escort when someone else is willing to give you a bugatti veyron for free! Something worth it may come along Later who knows. Remember to donate to the modders that you like, and help them to keep modding. :laugh: As for the bloatware that is the unused add-on files, HorseArmor HandmadeShotgun and so on that will just sit on my HDD as I have no interest in any of them. :dry: If they are like other files then I think you can just delete them! But be careful as I haven't tried this yet and who knows what they have done to the game. I will experiment and let you know. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way they want to give us all the assets for these mods. It's just begging for them to be pirated. And as some have said, if we got all the assets for every CC mod, the realities of hard drive space would force many of us to uninstall Fallout 4 pretty soon, which means we obviously won't be buying from the CC. Bethesda's stupid enough to have a buggy af launch. They're not stupid enough to do this intentionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are sitting in unencrypted standard .ba2 files. It would be perfectly legal to write an .esp or .esl file of your own to activate content everyone already has and share it to the modding site of your choice right? Heck, just put it right up on Bethesda.net"xnef1025 2017 As long as no one upload assets, xnef1025 may be right, and this may possibly be perfectly legal to do?!? So If this was not a buggy launch it may possibly be a very dumb one. :laugh: Edited August 30, 2017 by moriartykain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arneercool Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm just surprised they didn't make them master files and 8k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
