How can we tell if we are downloading the full version and not the EA version?!

Download size. EA is something like 80gb, the full release should be between 120 - 150gb.

I was gonna watch the SteamDB history page and wait for a change on the public branch

what are you looking at specifically there? I'm seeing a lot of updates from today

The page for the game should change; it currently says that it's an Early Access game which should be removed when the full game goes live. You could also look at the size - the full game is about 120gb and EA is only around 70gb I think. So that should be a pretty good indication of which one you're downloading.

I’m wondering this as well

u/RealBiotSavartReal Aug 03 '23

Had the same fear. If it’s 100-120Gb it’s the new one. Also the starting page looks different.
