FS2004 Files, Holy ****
« on: July 24, 2005, 02:38:47 AM »
I just did an audit of how much space FS2004 was taking up, with addons and all that crap. According to windows, it stands at 394,000 individual files - totaling a little bit more then 18 GIGS. I thought windows was bloated, but holy ****!

Yea well the other problem is I did an audit of the drive that game was on. and I could account for 24 gigs of data. Its a 60 gig drive, and it reports only 17 gigs is available...So i'm kinda going bonkers trying to find out where the other missing space ran off to. But probally just endup reformattinganyway.

Doesn't mean I won't have FS installed too. Besides, i'm badly in need of a reformat.

How does 'there is one' equal 'there is none'?  If you mean the specific B2 variant, then, well, yeah, I guess there isn't.
