Hi,

Pretty much what the title says. I purchase rainbox 6 siege in the Epic store today and after waiting most of the day for the 80GB download. When the game launched it started downloading again (all be it a little smaller at 50GB) in the Ubiconnect software.

This can't be right can it? That a huge download.

Hiya, TheBingoKing!

Welcome to the forums. I am sorry to hear that Rainbow Six Siege downloaded twice for you for 130 Gb.

Looking into this for you it looks like the Epic Games Launcher downloads the game installer, but it does not install the game itself. Once Ubisoft Connect opens, it then uses those files to install your game for you.

If the installer files are still there for you, you should be safe to remove them manually. You can do this within your Epic installation directory there should be an "Install" folder and the files will be in there.

I hope this helps!
