Epic has taken the words of players to heart and decided to actually separate the game modes so that you no longer have to install everything.
There had been proposals in the community for some time that Epic should separate the game modes more. This was mainly about modes without and with building. Many people play only one mode of the two, and yet there was a need to install all of Fortnite.
This meant heavily clogging up the disk with files that are completely unused. When playing the mode without building, on a PC you still had to have downloaded everything you needed to play with building. Now, this is changing.
Saving disk memory
A new entry appeared in the Epic Games Store yesterday. It is Fortnite in no-build mode, completely separate.
This is very good news for all those who do not play only Fortnite and who have to juggle with their disk space to install something new. Contrary to appearances, there are a lot of such people, and games are getting bigger and bigger and only take up more space.
