    Yeah its the art assests. Again this has been announced on discord rather than here.
    They are looking into it.
    It's currently 5821 on the list.

    Cheers, so much wrong with the game.

    Only 4.5 gb?

    Mine is 5.35gb with app + Documents and data (5.09 gb) on my iPhone 15.

    Our working theory is that the game stores all art from every pve, pvp etc since....for months now. In the old days it would purge that art so your game didn't bloat up, but it was growing because of all the characters and everything. Just not like this.

    There are plenty of games with more involved graphics that are smaller in size.

    Is this going to need an uninstall, reinstall when it fills up the whole of an ipad/iphone storage?

    That’s what au thought too, but with the State of the game, that’s a risky business…

    The game has always stored EVERYTHING long term, though back then I don't think it hit over 3~ gigs. My working theory has been that the images have been upscaled to look good on Steam and those of us on mobile are getting stuck with those even though it makes no sense for us. I'd really like to not have to redownload assets on the fly again because that creates considerable slow-down while playing.

    On June 4, about a week before I installed the Unity beta, MPQ was 1.11 gb altogether - app plus document & data.

    This is not something that got that bad until Unity was pushed in.

    EDIT: on May 2, MPQ was also 1.11 gb.

    They aren’t managing the memory size. They used to.
