How big is this game? I did the mega download. then i just extracted it and then i clicked the executable. then it gave me options. I clicked 4K res and MSAA4x. Here is what is says for what files it is downloading or something. Cache size:447.51 MB message has been repeated like 200 times man. is it really gonna be a Terra-byte of data? should i close the command prompt window?

This is just a guess but from what you have described it sounds like it has a custom launcher and if the command prompt is open then it is extracting those files to your hard drive from the game folder. If that is the case, depending on your hardware, you will see a flicker of prompts as each is extracted or windows stay open for a bit on slower machines.

It shouldn't be in the tera but can easily hit 100+ gig depending on what mods you downloaded with it.

I'm not grumpy, I'm just coded that way.

200 times ~450MB only make ~100GB. Unless this only represent 10% of what have to be installed/loaded, there's still plenty room before it reach 1TB.

What also mean that it's probably possible to select what file have to be installed/loaded. There's surely some who aren't useful for OP and can then be purely ignored.

Yeah, I used to do a bunch of modding in the past, and if there is a custom launcher, you can choose what mods to unpack/enable/disable directly from the mod manager itself. That should help the OP in conserving some of the cache space by purging the mod files that aren't necessarily needed for the executable to run against.
