Endless Nova 10 Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) EDIT: NEVERMIND. I'm a huge dumbass and was unintentionally frapsing. Had recently changed my key. *sigh* Right so this only happens when playing Arma 2 as of patch 1.03 as I have tested today. I noticed earlier that I had aorund 55 GB less HD space than I did last night. Only 5 GB free space left on my HD. Decided to fix it later as I really wanted to play some :D After about 2 hours game time the game slowed to a crawl and I had to kill the process. Noticed that Vista (I have 64 Home premium) gave me the low space warning - I had 800 MB left. :( I figured I better run a chkdsk but it was taking forever so I'm doing it overnight. I expect my problems to be fixed by this as it's most likely bad sectors or other HD errors causing this. But I have a sneaky suspicion that this happens while playing Arma, as I did another test an in about 1 hour of game time I lose 2 GB of disk space. Had my comp running now for 2 hours withhout playing and have remained at a stead 1.41 GB. So anyone else notice a sudden drastic decrease in HD space?

echo1 0 Posted August 8, 2009 What is the size of your ArmA2 folder in Program Files? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Endless Nova 10 Posted August 8, 2009 It's only 8.81 GB, I have also checked the savegame folder. All normal here. But the space is definitely disappearing while playing Arma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

froggyluv 2136 Posted August 8, 2009 Use a program like WinDirStat http://windirstat.info/ to let you know whats being stored in your HD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steakslim 1 Posted August 9, 2009 Be sure you didn't end up with a virus/worm/trojan at some point. Friend of mine ended up with one on his grandpa's computer that did exactly what you mentioned but I managed to kill it before it sucked up 60gb of space. It just rapidly created a bunch of small files every minute continuously, eating up disk space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
