Hi, I have just started and new. I installed UE 4.25.3 on my C drive and quickly ran out of space.
C is 22 free of 237GB - D is 812 free of 931GB.
Should I uninstall from the C drive and delete everything from C and re-install all and work only in D drive.
While I am at it might as well install 4.26 and start from scratch do you think ? Thanks for the help.
You’ll definitely want as much space as possible. UE4, along with your project folders, will take up a lot of space. That said, you’ll often hear people say that you should install stuff onto your C-drive to prevent any weird bugs.
I had my UE4 loaded on my D-drive for awhile and didn’t run into any weird bugs, per-se. However, my D-drive was pretty slow, and I had really long load times and compile times (C++ compile times, specifically). I ended up getting an SSD just for UE4 and my projects, and that seemed to fix the issue.
As for downloading and installing 4.26: it’s up to you! I’d recommend waiting until the full release (right now it’s still in preview/beta stages). The latest release of an engine is always going to come with new problems and bugs. Older versions are usually more stable. But if you think you’d rather just start clean with 4.26 and not have to download it again later, you can do that too!
Thanks for that King. I will look into getting a dedicated SSD drive
No problem! If you’re just using UE4 as a hobbyist, or only planning to use Blueprints, you’ll probably be fine download UE4 onto your D-drive. The only slowness you’d notice would be loading up the project.
However, if you plan on using C++, or are working with UE4 professionally, I would definitely invest in an SSD (I’d recommend at least 256 GB. I personally bought a 512 GB SSD, but I use UE4 for work).
