The download was about 24 GB for me..

 

(now that you mention it.. I downloaded/installed it to the wrong drive... Does anyone know a quick and easy way to move it over without having to spend all the time downloading it again?)

i7 not perfectly stable at 4.4.. #firstworldproblems

30GB I believe

There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Copy and paste the files to the new directory and uninstall it from the old drive, then go into origin settings and change the install directory to the folder where you moved BF4 to (so BF4 should be a subfolder) then install it again and *in theory* it will just validate the files, which will just take a few minutes.

why on the ssd? you know that your ssd can handle 1/3 of wat you hdd can read and write? install it on a hdd.

no but the lifetime of you're ssd will be shortend for a good shoort time.ssd's are only for OS and programs to load up but to write and read allot you have to have a hdd.

I doubt that, SSD's MTBF is usually when it's at max reads/writes not when it needs to pick up game files every now and then, using it as a game drive is fine. Heck I'm sure Windows or Adobe abuse them worse than BF4 ever could.

But fast loading times make it worth it, and how often does it actually write to the disk? When you install it and when there's an update. SSDs are built to last a long time, just not as long as HDDs. If you have a large enough SSD, you should have windows, a few core programs, and your most used games installed on it to make best use of it.

Well it actually depends, a game that's mostly composef of bigger files (which will rely less on IOPS and more on sequential R/W) will load pretty similarly across the board (get it ? Nah, don't think it's that funny) but the games that operates with dozens of thousands of files that are all spread across the game folder, an SSD would help.

 

What i would suggest is : Install it on HDD if it's a game you're never going to spend that much time playing, and if it's a game baiscally... LIVING in your SSD for a year or so, it won't really matter that much, OCZ validates their SSDs (well mostly the high end ones) for 5 years lifecycle rated at 20 GB of writes each day, Flash isn't that damagable after all.

 

That's the hang of it basically.

Stop bloating nonsense, and reason to contribute in a constructive manner.

What?

 

You said your BF4 file size was 5.5 GB, which he called out as being the Beta version, not the full version. 

Your screenshot right there proves that he was correct, and that you have the beta version installed. (notice how the folder name is "Battlefield 4 Beta").

 

The full version is ~24 GB.

BF4 Beta only has the Core technology of the Frostbite 3 Engine (in its 64 Bits engine) and all the Shanghai Map assets to make it functional, nothing that fancy and absolutely not representative of the final game.
