WTH happens with my Orange Box Created 16 years ago2008-01-11 19:12:26 UTC by Spike

Orange Box says that I need 20 GB to have all installed. Ok so today i was looking my Programs folder ( Control Panel) and I see:

Half life 2: 237 MB
Half life 2 episode 1: 17 GB
Half Life 2 episode 2: 17 GB
Portal: 87 MB
TF2: 272 mb +
_________________________________________
34,6 GB

...

It lies. No way Half-Life 2 is 237 mb and that both EP1 and 2 or 17GB and Portal is 87mb...

You don't trust that thing, you have to go to the root folder its installed in and check the filesize there...

Edit: I just remembered, what you're getting is probably the folder size, and some other confusion. Really, that wouldn't be picked of the GCFs. Which is where the core game files are actually at.

Yeah but the thing I can't understand is that thismornig I had 396 free GB memory, and now I have 364 GB. Who the hell is eating my PC?

You left your porn downloading but forgot about it.

it fused into the half-life files and thats why it tells u there is 14 more gigs eaten up...

I like Blitzkrieg's answer best.

Yeah It would be correct but not at the moment because my new pc is at 0% porn. Probably 10% porn next week but not now.

VALVe doesn't like to have Steam behave like other programs. You don't get the true size of any game in Windows Add/Remove Programs.
