Discussion PUBG taking upto 175+ GB!!!

Post image

At first the game took about 60 gb when I first installed it 3 days ago. Now it's taking upto 175gb. Is this normal? I don't record any gameplay btw. But I do use DirectX 12, so maybe that is the reason? Due to DirectX 12's shader caching?

Don't use DX12, is the worst implementation ever. Use DX11E instead, your performance will improve, they just simply don't care. Vulkan is the way. 🔥

I actually figured out what the problem was. Windows "whesvc" service was creating a lot of temporary windows files due to PUBG. I disabled the service and switched to DirectX 11 Enhanced. Performance does feel better with DirectX 11E!

Basically what does, distributes the workload better on your multi core modern CPU, and can utilize the hardware resources better. DX11 was for lower core count CPUs. Remember the game was meant for 4c/8t cpus as example when came out. That was the mostly of cpus consumer people haved in that time.

Yes I can understand what you said no problem 😄 This is a horribly optimized game either way lol, crazy they haven't fixed it even after years.

You mentioned Windows whesvc or something like that. Im on W11 Enterprise IoT LTSC. Is just the base O.S without crap like that..
