Overview
- A small Steam update that added Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese triggered installer checks to report about 366GB required storage instead of the game's usual ~50GB.
- Independent reinstall tests and user reports indicate the problem likely comes from the full game size being duplicated across DLC entries in Steam's manifest rather than from new large game files.
- Players say the actual download for the patch is modest, roughly 8GB, which supports the duplication theory and means the inflated number is a reporting error not new content.
- Some users report the issue cleared on their machines but others still see the inflated requirement, and Square Enix has said it is investigating and offered temporary steps to disable DLC in Steam properties to install the base game.
- Coverage recommends pausing installs and turning off Steam auto-updates until a confirmed hotfix from Square Enix or Valve fixes the manifest so affected players can avoid failed installs and lost play time.
