Age of Empires IV how to reduce the game file size from 34,4GB to under 8GB! After testing it seems to be the easiest to delete a couple of files. But you need to think thru first, do I need full graphics and high audio quality? If you can live with low then it can be under 8GB. Now the steam version is 34,4GB installed (2022-09-07). Set all settings sound and graphics settings to lowest and try the game, if it’s okay for you then continue.
Reduce game file size from 34,4GB to under 8GB!
Okey so you want to shrink the game to save some GB on your HDD.
Most important before you begin ALL SETTINGS need to be at the lowest sound and graphics.
Delete or move the files to different location, your choice.
1. With game closed go to game location Age of Empires IV\cardinal
Delete: audiomedium I audiohigh falcówka
2. Pod Age of Empires IV\cardinal\archives
Delete: All files that starts with DX12 w tej chwili 12 akta
3. Pod Age of Empires IV\cardinal\movies\source
Delete: Pełny campaign falcówka (12,7GB) if you can live without movies for the campaigns.
So now the game is only 7,96GB (2022-09-07)
You can trim it down even more but try and error, good luck!
