New Launcher and Hard Drive Space Issue

[baranlron]

<p>I'm trying to install the new launcher manually as detailed in other posts. I select my existing game folder which is in my case is C:Program Files (x86)SonyEverQuest II. The installer prompts me that my launcher will be converted to a new one so I choose to continue. After clicking ok I get an error message that I don't have enough hard drive space in that volume as Everquest 2 requires 15GB and I only have 3GB.</p><p>While this is true I do only have 3 GB of drive space, my existing installation in the existing folder I chose above C:Program Files (x86)SonyEverQuest II is taking up 14.1 GB already therefore I really don't need 15GB of space. I only need to install the delta between what I had yesterday (which worked) and what I need for the updates. This seems like a bug with the installer disk space check.</p><p>The only option I believe I have is to delete all 14.1 GB of data by uninstalling the game and then reinstalling it requiring me to download 15 GB!</p><p>Is there a work-around for this issue or a possible patch to fix the installer?</p>

<p>The issue concerning a bogus drive space error has been reported and is being looked into. Check <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=510208" target="_blank">this thread</a>.</p><p>I'm also getting a sense that this launch is a really good time to reinstall EQ2 from scratch if you have not done so in a while.</p><p>-= Therendil =-</p>
