-How 2 reduce game size of DR4-
Like many other games DR4 will not only install 1 language-file pack but ALL language file packs.
This will waste about 8 GB of disk space.

Here is how u can free disk space:
1.
Go 2 ...Steam\steamapps\common\DeadRising4\data\audio

Here u will find the audio-packs of the supported languages.
Each audio-pack consists of 82 files & the file names end with language-IDs:
I am from Germany so I only need the files of the German audio-pack.
The file names of the German audio-pack end with "_de.big".
(example: the 1st file is "audiolog_dialogue_de.big")

The other audio-packs r:
_ita.big
_mx.big
_zh.big
_bp.big
_fr.big
_ja.big


There is another audio-pack with similar file names (also 82 files).
These file names do not end with language-IDs.
This is the English audio-pack.

2.
Search 4 any files u don't need & delete them.
In total u can delete 574 files (7,8 GB)

That's it :)

UPDATE 001:
- U can also delete the english audio-pack.

UPDATE 002:
- Update introducing Franks Rising DLC will add more files & update some old files.
In total u can delete 104 more audio-files & free additional 1,95 GB of disk space

- Update introducing Franks Rising DLC changes "_ita.big" to "_it.big"



IMPORTANT:
Updates may restore these files.
So u need 2 delete them again.
Revalidating the game cache will ofc result in restoring these files


Plz take 1 second & rate this guide.
