Guide v1.1

Deathloop will install language-pack files of ALL supported languages.

By following these simple steps u can free 4+ GB of disk space:
1.
Open the game folder of DEATHLOOP
...Steam\steamapps\common\DEATHLOOP\

2.
Here u will find 10 eLID-folders (eLID_English etc.)

Only keep the folder of the language of ur choice.
(I only need the German language files, so I keep eLID_German.)

IMPORTANT:
If u verify the game-cache the files will be restored
Future updates may also restore these files

UPDATE:
Game Update 2 did restore the files.
Game Update 3 did restore the files.

Please take a second & rate this guide :)
THx.

Make sure 2 check my other guides:

Save even more disk space in:
Days Gone, MAFIA - Definitive Edition, Horizon - Zero Dawn, Just Cause 4, MAFIA III, Dead Rising 4.

Okay.
So I tested Compactor & noticed that while it is really faster & it shows some more detailed info, it unfortunately is less effective in compressing the files.
THx anyway :)

Compactor was inspired by CompactGUI, according to the author's posts on reddit. They both use the same windows compact, but compactor is a bit faster at several large folders.

Such great tools, I feel compelled to share with fellow disk savers! Cheers!

YW :)
I use CompactGUI as standard compress tool but I will give Compactor a try.
Thanks 4 info!

Thanks for this tip! I've been using Compactor to compress games as much as possible, and you've helped even more!

Highly recommend looking into Compactor if you like saving as much disk space as possible.
