Streamline Servers Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 ARK recently reduced the size massively. Initial install used to be 30GB+ as it had all user end files as well. They reduced this down to 3.35GB for Windows. It's only once people start adding mods (some are 1GB+) / massive worlds the files get a little large.

The base files wouldn't need to be that big or contain the user files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streamline Servers Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yeah, the dedicated server files used to contain a lot of user files. They recently removed these, which dropped the amount of storage it used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about an active server, I'm talking about when the dedicated server files are downloaded, then zipped. The size is currently 18.56GB. Not normal? So....sounds like for new installs, you are downloading the files directly from Steam and NOT downloading it ahead of time and zipping them, as tcadmin does with all game files...?

I still download files ahead of time to put them zipped up on our own install respository. However I do download them from steamcmd beforehand though. Are you sure you're using the dedicated server appid instead of the user appid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDoze Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yes, 376030. I guess I'll delete everything and redownload/zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
