Just curious, for those of you who are ready to go, how big is your client? On the official website they say 27GB, but my client is 18.5GB big. I'm puzzled.

A fresh download is 18.5, a patched beta version can run to 27+ (depending on how long it has been installed and how many patches it has had0.
I think they recommended uninstalling because it clears up the excessive left-over files and a fresh install is leaner for it.

Thank you ^_^ I'm feeling less anxious now.

Yeah, you are good. Though the client is only 18.5 GB, they set the minimum space requirement to 27GB. Probably for updates and such, and other files that may get written to the drive during game play.

 

The 27gb is to make sure you have enough room to install it, needs the extra room on the hard drive during installation to cover all the temp files is all.

Whats the size of your install directory after installing everything?

Zero betas = 18.4gb 158 files 12 folders

After seeing this thread I checked my launcher and there was a patch to download, took 30 seconds.

I uninstalled the beta client and a fresh download came out to 18.5 GB.

I assume there will be a launcher update and a patch for Early Start.
