Game cannot install on storage units with very high capacity
- When installing on storage units with very high capacity, the "disk space available" displays a negative disk space and the "install" button is greyed out. 8TB HDD works while a 22TB HDD does not work.
- The only workaround is to install the game to a storage unit with not extremely high disk space.
