How do I become a non-Apex user again? (I own Apex)

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Here's my problem: I just got a new SSD, but its only 15GB. Vanilla Arma 3 is 12GB, but since I own Apex the Arma is 20GB. 

 

I know for a fact that non-apex users have the Apex units/vehicles downloaded, but not the Tanoa map itself. Tanoa is 6GB.

 

(Apex Owner)

20GB > 15GB  => I can't fit Arma in my new SSD!

 

(Non-Apex Owner)

20GB - 6GB = 14GB

14GB < 15GB   => I can fit inside my SSD!

 

I like Apex, but I want to try out Arma on an SSD and I know I need to become a non-apex owner again to make it fit.

 

I've tried unticking "Arma 3 Apex" in Steam's DLC menu, which uninstalls Apex completely. However this kicks me out of every server. 

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: Solution

 

You could split the game folder to two drives with symbolic links.
For example move the 'expansion' folder to HDD and create just a link to it in the SSD.

Hello,

why (and where) do one buy a 15 GB SSD?

The Apex update has many core features that can't easily be deactivated like all the additional mods.

I guess you should buy a new SSD 120/250/500GB and won't have to complain about such stuff anymore.

Hi, thanks for replying.

 

I don't want to buy anything and I salvaged it from a chromebook.

It's a 16GB model but only 15GB is available.

That's an interesting suggestion. I'll do some research on it :)

 

EDIT:

After messing around with symbolic links, I managed to split Arma 3 into my HDD and SSD.

If anyones curious to how I did it, leave a post, because for now I'm going to play some Arma!
