PC version requirements: 7GB HD space

A slight upgrade from what we heard from Pete, right? How curious.

Just thought I'd share that as I sit at work willing the clock hands to turn a little faster...

The box will always state a little over to include temporary files while installing.

It is probably saying 7GB since it is a disc that contains Steam as well, so the digital version is 6GB. That is my opinion, though :unsure:

I run Diskeeper 2011, it saves files in a way that they never get fragmented in the first place :thumbsup:
A manual defrag takes me about 1 min tops.

So maybe you can answer something that's been on my mind: Does the disk have the actual game files on there, and thusly can be installed from the disk? I've heard the disk only has a re-direct to Steam to input your account info and start dl'ing it from there. If so, that's going to svck waiting for it to download from Steam after I get back from Gamestop (especially considering their server load is gonna be horrendous, so downloading it would probably be a no go).

Youl be able to install from the disk, otherwise what would be the point?
Youl still need to have it verified online through steam, but thats it.

No the disc has all the game files, you just need steam to verify the installation to start playing.

Delicious. Then it will give me enough time to plow through a few Shiners while it installs then.

Thanks.
