Can some one explain this for me?

Why is IL2 111GB+. 

I say plus because i ran out of room on my virtual server. 

Also i somehow downloaded 45 / 48.89 GB.

 

IS this just broken?

 

On my computer the game is only 70GB. I have no skins no replays nothing.

I think additional space is needed for temporary files when an update is installing?

 

If you hadn't played for several months the update could have included the Normandy maps, new assets, and some new flyable aircraft.

Anything from screenshots, mission files, skins,  track recordings, updates will count. 

 

It's not broken, just look at those items and see where the bloat is coming from.

My game folder is 107GB. But as Skycat said, you are downloading the patch, so that one goes into a temporary folder, until it is downloaded and installed.

Check in your main game folder how big is your "updates" folder, you can remove extra GB from there, leve files in it but remove folder with name that is like date, example of folder name: "22-10-12"

That folder usealy have data you dont need after you updated game, and files are just to confirm your game is up to date, so dont remove them, just folder that is probably in 10+GB size. Whole clean game should be around 70GB in size, extra size if not coming from mods or skins is probably this updates folder.

Yea wait until it has actually finished installing
Games/everything needs room to unpack

I ended up just copying the installation from my PC over. Then using the installer to clean up and update.

I had similar problem. I reinstalled the game.
