How big is it?

Post by Rhino »

I know this is going to be hard for a lot of you to believe, but we all don't have 1 GIG Hard drives and Pentium II+ machines. Image I'm gonna download this sucker over the weekend hopefully. How much HD space am I gonna have to clear to play SPWAW without videos (AND without sound if need be)? Are we talking around 300 MEG here? Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!

Hi Rhino,

The lite file installs to a total of 285MB, but of course you need a lot of extra space to unpack from the zip file. I have 1 GB HD and needed nearly 600 MBs of that free to do the install from my HD and I had to get a bit 'tricky' to do it in that space. From an Install file on a CD you would need a total of around 350 MB to install and play,including the space Windows needs for a swap file. I think. please correct me if I am wrong. It is a big step up from the 40MB install of SP3, but well worth it.

Yeah,

You will get 50megs gamefiles and 300megs *.wav files.

Dolby Surround Steel Panthers, so to say.

Incredible sound !

I had the sound up too loud and the two OAPs next door started digging a trench:-)

THe sound will make you run for cover! Yes, around 300 megs. As they get better, they get bigger...and I'll leave that alone (G)
