Have to install the DevKit again after an Update

(I am sorry Guys. My English is not the best one. I come from germany and am in the 8th class :D)
Hi guys I have to install the whole DevKit again after a new update. Its getting bigger each time. (About 30GB) Can someone help me?

Hope you can,

Hello magerbeton,

Which DevKit are you trying to use? There are multiple available on the Epic Games Launcher.

I am useing the Ark DevKit…

When you mention that you “have to install the whole DevKit” again, what do you mean? Do you receive an error of some sort that requires you to uninstall and install it again? Do you mean that the update download is just very large? Please keep in mind that updates to a DevKit require more free space than they actually end up taking up.

Edit: From looking at the Ark DevKit, the total install size of the base DevKit is actually much larger, about 60 GB

yes i know that it is much bigger than 60GB but i cant get the new files of an uptdate that means last time it said the update is 123GB big and that sounds a little bit strage… If i click on the button “Update” than it reinstall the whole devkit

Could you right-click your installation folder and then take a screenshot of the properties window after it adds up the storage space? Could you also take a screenshot of the launcher saying high storage amounts such as this? Update will not reinstall the Devkit so it just must be a large update. I would suggest asking about sizes in their Discord chat which you can find here.

We haven’t heard from you in a while, magerbeton. Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, have you tried what I mentioned in my previous comment? If so, what were the results? In the meantime, I’ll be marking this issue as resolved for tracking purposes.

Sorry that i didnt wrote as long as i did. Yes i do but as i tried to update it again to get the message there came a message that it is going to reinstall itself :frowning: Now it deleted itself and i have to reinstall it…

As I mentioned before, please provide a screenshot of these messages as what you’re saying doesn’t seem to make sense, the launcher doesn’t do things like this.

I am going to download it again and send you the error message if it appears again… I am sorry :frowning:
