Helldivers 2 Reduces Install Size by Over 80% with New 'Slim' Version

Developers of Helldivers 2 significantly reduced the game's installation size from 154GB to 23GB by removing data duplication, after measuring actual game load times and discovering that most loading delays are due to level generation, not asset loading. This change had minimal impact on load times, especially for HDD users, and highlights the importance of data-driven optimization rather than assumptions or industry averages.

Introducing tiny11 core: Windows 11 mod with minimal disk space requirement

@NTDEV_ has released tiny11 core, a modified version of Windows 11 that only requires 3GB of disk space. The ISO weighs 2GB and the installation includes significant changes such as the removal of built-in antivirus, browser, and Windows Update functionality. Despite its slim size, tiny11 core still allows for the installation of applications and is intended for testing purposes within a virtual machine. Users are advised not to use it on mission-critical computers. Activation using a genuine Windows 10 or 11 key is required.
