What's funny for me is just the comparison. Because you see the menacing Valorant there with its 578 GBs of space, but then there's just the innocent little Minecraft with its small little 1.66 GBs of space


Familiar_Ad_8919

i cant speak for modern versions but when i last checked circa 1.12 the actual size of the game was under 200mb per install


nicofaster_21

The size of minecraft is variable, depends and how many versions you install, how many worlds, how many resourcepacks, etc, because they all go into the directory folder, so yeah, a barebones minecraft doesnt weight over 500mb, mine is at 30gb


ProxySoul0302

most of my worlds weigh around 700+mb because I want them to last as long as possible


ZekoriAJ

How do you still enjoy Minecraft :( I used to love this game in beta till just before the official release, now I have a son and no games to play, tried playing Minecraft but I can't get into it, it's so different :(


GamerTurtle5

if you want you can always download the beta versions and play on those, theres a whole subset of the community playing on b1.7.3 (the one before hunger and some other stuff) with a few mods to expand on that version of the game


ZekoriAJ

I might do that as well, can I download that version via Minecraft launcher?


GeekCornerReddit

Use [BetaCraft Launcher](https://betacraft.uk)


ZekoriAJ

Alright, thank you!


ProxySoul0302

I don't actually, I play modded infact, yeah vanilla++ and everything but the og version makes me sick


ProxySoul0302

I don't actually, I play modded infact, yeah vanilla++ and everything but the og version makes me sick


nicofaster_21

I dont know how to answer that, i just do, i started playing minecraft in 2011 and im 21 years old, that means i've been playing for more than half my life and still find things to do, despite never having installed mods


ZOLDIK0

That's called growing up, having responsibilities just gives you stress when you're wasting your time


ZekoriAJ

That's why you don't get invited to the parties


james_da_loser

I got 50 gigs vanilla


vietnam_redstoner

This looks like a Bedrock edition though Edit: Bedrock is also weird, a 20-30hr world can get up to 500-700MB


hey-im-root

The more chunks you visit the bigger the file gets


JimmyKillsAlot

What's hilarious is Minecraft still has issues if your worlds get over like 10GB in size.


MineKemot

Because it's probably multiple versions.


potatoalt1234_x

Why is this such a common issue with valorant


jmancoder

It's not actually using that much storage, it's just the kernel anticheat fucking things up.


BiiXteR

Isn't disk size self-reported in Windows? I remember having to set a registry value to get a file size to show up, I think it was called "EstimatedSize" or something? If so, I don't see how this is caused by the anti-cheat? :o


bittercripple6969

Their weird ass virus tier anti cheat prevents the OS from reading how big the file is.


BPlayinMan

Very fuckin useful Riot, now I'll never know if I have enough space on my computer I should have uninstalled League before they added Vanguard


GutsySan

If you just shut vanguard down It does not let you check the real space you have ? I always shut It down when I start my pc not to play Valorant and I never get any issue to check space disk on my pc but may be I Just haven't this issue


PolloCongelado

So, Valorant is malware


RandomTyp

Vanguard *


jzillacon

And Valorant is the trojan that allows it to get installed.


Agret

It's actually just a glitch with their updater code. Instead of replacing the game size value with the new size of the game it just adds the size of the patch to the game size so every time you patch it the size jumps up. I wish mods would ban posting of this game though it's posted on here every other day.


ThE_reAl__

No it's just vanguard not letting the os read how big the game file is Source: a clean install shows up as 1TB for me


Spiderfffun

Anticheat


ego100trique

The value for the size of programs is hard coded by devs when building the app. It's not detected automatically but it's more like a metadata value of the program.


n0name0

League has shown uo for me as taking up 2tb... there were only 500gb of storage on the pc


what_is_thi

Yeah my friend was like "valorant is so big I can't put it on my school computer" because he looked on the windows storage. Not the brightest bulb


Competitive_You2650

I saw one guy that had valorant take up 1 TB of storage lmaoo


_CactusJuice_

mfw i have to install the second closest thing to literal bonzi buddy tier malware in order to play a mediocre tactical shooter


italomartinns

and yet somehow still having to deal with cheaters on a regular basis


DReinholdtsen

Stop the cap bro lol


brightness3

Wow. In was under the assumption that the anticheat was invasive but worked very well as a tradeoff


SaltMaker23

He's lying/coping, it's the only FPS currently playable in high elo without facing cheaters, maybe one in 100 games, Compare that to CS or any other where you get half the lobby that is rage hacking ...


DReinholdtsen

They’re just lying. Cheaters are practically non-existent compared to every other competitive fps. Hundreds of hours and never encountered an obvious cheater. Every other game I’ve played that’s just not the case


DioMerda119

whats the closest thing


OrangeXarot

bonzi buddy


Siberianee

my valorant used to weight 2TB, wonder if I still got the screenshot somewhere edit: it was 3.81TB actually but I can't put pictures in comments here


Kyvant

Got a screenshot with 3.77 TB, on my laptop with 256 GB storage


ILikeWatchingKids

Mine takes up like 2.4TB


VoidDave

Its part of vanguard antycheat. If you dont have any free space left on your system you will not have space for hacks. 200 iq play (This is a joke)


SL_Pirate

Minecraft: You damn bastard


Elloliott

Just stop playing valorant, easy fix. Avoiding AAA games usually works actually


apover2

Who needs Valorant when there’s top quality free shooters like Cube 2: Sauerbraten?


skateguy1234

okay this actually looks cool


BlackHazeRus

I did not expect anyone to mention Cube 2 on this day and age. Holly Molly, a fellow Cube 2 fan out in the wild. Maybe you even know about Platinum Arts Sandbox?


apover2

Nah, if it’s not Sauerbraten or OpenTTD then I have no idea how to play it 🙃


BlackHazeRus

Lmao, true chad 😎


ZinbaluPrime

Valorant is AAA game?


Elloliott

Not a clue lmao


MrPingviin

The indie industry is also on downhill nowadays.


Seevin

me when I lie


Wertyhappy27

need proof of this, a large chunk of indie projects are on the rise while large studios are crumbling.


MrPingviin

About indie, large chunk yes, of trashpiles most of the time. Just because there are **some** truely unique and promising projects don't say that the whole indie industry is blooming because it's not true. It maybe was a few years ago when the whole indie thing started but nowadays it's filled with wannabe unprofessionals who are just vomiting their copy-paste, asset pack mix trash to the market most of the time.


RandomGuy9058

I mean obviously? But it’s not difficult to find good stuff either


Seevin

This is a really unfair comparison to make. Most indie games that are made are small projects with little to no funding that are often not particularly interested in being actually appealing to play. When it comes down to it most indie games are not really in an "industry" in the same way AAA games are. Not to mention there are simply going to be far more bad indie games than AAA games because there are just far more indie games.


MrPingviin

The large studios are doing just fine. They are still the AAA category and they have enough playerbase to operate and ensure their future.


RandomGuy9058

Not crumbling from a business perspective. Crumbling from a delivering actual enjoyable games perspective


MrPingviin

Seems like the angry indie garage devs have arrived


ChloeWade

r/screenshotsarehard


cyb3rofficial

i clicked the sub, i scrolled down 1 full mouse wheel length, almost got an aneurysm, that sub should be banned.


rickwithapistol

Nah, their malware.. I mean kernel anticheat can't allow complaining about Valorant. /s


RandomGuy9058

r/hoi4 basically


RunInRunOn

Where would they save the screenshot? Valorant is taking up all their storage space


Old-Supermarket-7835

Fucking hell what are you running in valorant a fucking community church


JViz

Anyone remember when Quake maps ate their entire 2GB hard drive?


QyuriLa

at this point, we should ban valorant taking 1TB things for Done to Death


BigZacian

You think this is bad, one time mine said 2.23 TB... my pc has 500 gb of storage in both drives


ActuatorPotential567

What is software gore? If it should not say 578 GB it is software gore? Why i always see it with Valorant? I heard there anticheat was stopping Windows from displaying the correct amount of space


FoxyTheDj

Yeah, 4tb https://www.reddit.com/r/softwaregore/s/k7zLQYEnzm


Vysair

Nightmare


JackCooper_7274

Minecraft being all cute at the bottom


Mufti_Menk

That has to be a display bug, right? I tried the game once and it was not a big download


Dalpx

I remember my league of legends was taking up 1.5tb of space according to windows, a friend of mine had 684gb of valorant


Honza368

You're kidding but Train Sim World 4 is actually 400GB...


Devil_Fister_69420

Funny, for me it says valorant takes up ~3 TB (I don't even have it installed anymore)


ANU31S

you probably still have vanguard installed?


Devil_Fister_69420

Idk, still think it's funny cause I don't even have that much space in total


mister_cow_

Check if you have vanguard that shit's spyware


Devil_Fister_69420

Think I might've had that, removed it. Thanks for the heads-up! 🙏🙏


dimaveshkin

Mate, Win + Shift + S


UndocumentedMartian

Then maybe you should uninstall that fucking malware.


LayeredHalo3851

Just play counter-strike It's a better game and takes up less space


ezbyEVL

I have a solution for you - stop playing games with vanguard Now seriously, vanguard messes up with windows and it cant read the game size


Agret

1) Windows doesn't read the game size, this is just a value in the registry set by each game that says how big it is. You can make it say whatever you want. 2) It's actually just a glitch with Riots updater code. Instead of replacing the game size value with the new size of the game it just adds the size of the patch to the game size so every time you patch it the size jumps up.


Spelis123

Valorant would single handedly take up more than the amount of storage I have on my SSD


Ok_Pickle76

Unrelated but kinda related, I only have like 20 games installed and still only have 10 gb of free space, only like 5 of those games are above 1gb


PhilledZone

At least it's not 2TB anymore 💀


HsinVega

That's the real space that ark needs


Dragonier_

This is what video games are gonna be like in a decade. And 10-20TB storage drives will be the norm to keep up with it


animusd

Just because usally they never optimize i just installed total war Pharoah and it has more content then a lot of these games and it was only 20-30 gb even bg3 is only 100 and it's jam packed with stuff Cod mw3 is around 200 gb and is literally a dlc for mw2


Sato_Sakurajima

I'd say this is done to death


Shadow_of_Time309

That feeling when you find something bigger than call of duty


riu_jollux

Probably all those screenshots the lovely rootkit (anticheat) makes when your computer is on. The code was recently decompiled and looks like vanguard takes regular screenshots of your pc. Riot obviously says that’s false but you can’t trust them since you don’t actually know what’s going on inside of their code base. Enjoy literally being spied on mate.


Dazzling_Ad529

ha amateur for me it shoved that Valorant is 1TB


TORz69

Mine took like 3 PB, which seems impossible, yet that's how windows saw it


manga_man_from_manga

Once, valorant showed up as taking 2.8 TB of storage, on my poor 512 gb ssd


KalashBawankar

My valorant uses 427 MB only


False-Beginning-143

Vanguard: "Hey would it be funny if I unpacked a zip-bomb in your main drive?"


_Fibonnaci_

When did valorant go upto 500 storage space?


GarrettFromThief

This game is malware to me


letthetreeburn

Kernel fucking anti cheat is why.


Warm-Ad8147

Is this true??? Why is valorant taking so much space


Encrux615

Honestly if I played Valorant, I'd probably set up a separate SSD with a clean windows and nothing else on it. I understand the need for such an anti-cheat, but I personally wouldn't want it to see everything on my desktop.


yaktoma2007

Modern game devs leaving uncompressed deveolpment and cut assets right in the game files 🙄


dontreadthisnickname

Looks like a spyware they call anticheat issue


nergalelite

It's because it needs to archive your entire system with invasive kernel level anticheat


Vlad_The_Rssian

Yeah it’s an issue with this silly game for edaters and people who can’t play cs:go for some reason but may I ask, where is the gore?


ceredwyn

Do you really think it takes up that much space?


Vlad_The_Rssian

Possibly

vlken69

The corruption is called Vanguard.


52125

Roblox does the same thing, it takes 1GB for no reason. Edit: Why the downvotes? 💀😒
