Disk write error - not enough space on ssd

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Technical Support

Issue Description:
DISK WRITE ERROR WHEN MOVING DARKTIDE TO SSD

Bought a new 250GB SSD, moved the likes of CSGO, Farming Simulator 22 and the new Aliens Dark Descent into it and all worked fine. Tried to move Darktide into it, Apparently a 48GB game cannot move into 164GB of space.

I then wiped my SSD, tried to move Darktide into it again, it came up saying ‘THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SPACE ON SSD NAME. YOU NEED AN ADDITIONAL 81.2GB TO COPY THESE FILES.’

So I actually need 331GB SSD to transfer Darktide over, which yet again, is a 48GB GAME. How does a 48GB game inflate to over 300GB.

Can someone who knows what they are talking about help me out. I have found only one other thread on this issue and it resulted in a dead end.

P.S i’ve already tried the reinstall this, restart that milarky, this seems to something more complicated than a simple turn off/turn on.

Head to your Steam library, right-click Darktide and select ‘Properties’ → ‘Installed Files’. What happens if you try to move your installation via Steam’s own ‘Move install folder’ option?
