Really wish games would give you a "cleanup" option in the settings. If I'm only going to use the Ultra textures it could delete all the others, and same for if someone is only going to use Medium, etc.
- supertrope 3y agoAs much as I want to be able to un-select game modes, ultra textures, and foreign language audio, this would increase complexity and QA required.
- causi 3y agoLetting me or third-party software go in and delete the files manually without pitching a fit would be an acceptable compromise. I'd even purchase such a utility.
- supertrope 3y agoSome studios have tinkered with the idea of games that can be played while the download completes. There has to be a way to trace all assets that are needed for the first chapter. https://patents.google.com/patent/US11123634B1/ https://patents.google.com/patent/US11123634B1/
- PlatinumBench 3y agoBlizzard has had this for a number of years, at least for World Of Warcraft. You can start playing and it downloads the rest of the game in the background. I think the loading screens are a bit longer since my guess would be that the program checks to make sure the needed files are there for the zone and, if not, it downloads them as a priority.
- yreg 3y agoWorld of Warcraft has worked that way for years. When you start, you can initially see other players fight phantoms because your game hasn't downloaded the assets for those mobs yet.
