Well, this case is tricky.
First of all, Pro.Pinball.Timeshock.Ultra.Edition-SKIDROW (52 GB) is a inflated isolated case, which never took place in reality.
Basic game files are under 1 GB, but when unpacked, SKIDROW release takes whooping 147 GB on HDD, making it the largest game ever released. Pinball game with just ONE table!
But actually, nobody needs those files. And game devs also think so, that’s why there no cries on Steam about game size. It’s pretty small for people.
Why?
Well, the game is actually 2D. Yes, not 3D. And it supports 11 different VERTICAL resolutions, up to 4K (2160p).
Each resolution itself has 5 view modes. For each resolution-view pair developers rendered all assets from the scratch. And they are upload them to you after detecting your resolution.
If you change your view, new ZIP-file will be downloaded. Once you download 5 ZIPs for all view modes – you’re full set until you want to change the game resolution. No futher downloads required.
That’s why I decided to exclude all resolutions, but the largest one, 4K. Moreover, I made 4K an optional download. Cause when run on low/medium machines, rescaling 4K graphics can take lots of your horsepower.
My recommendation is to donwload just 334 MB of main files, run the game and allow it to download only data for your resolution. It’s like my “Selective Download”, but maybe a little faster ?
Yes, downloading inside the game works perfectly fine with pirated version.
My setup-fitgirl-optional-4K-graphics-pack.bin is for those, who needs absolute quality only and don’t want to download anything else, besides my repack. It contains only 4K assets for all view modes and after installing will take ~30 GB.
But I recommend you to stick to your native resolution and download much smaller official GFX packs.
