Is there a way to save space of ark?
CompactGUI

400GB? Seriously? 25+ hours worth of waiting just to play it? Why is ark like this?
Also, check out CompactGUI. It's a more user-friendly and efficient way of using Windows' built-in compression to cut the game's file size almost in half. It makes load times marginally longer (like 5-10%) and needs to be redone every few updates to keep the size down, but it works.

Modern Game File Sizes Be Like
You can chuck compact.exe at it by hand (use the /exe option), or if you'd prefer to avoid the command line there's my Compactor tool, or the venerable CompactGUI.

The era of 100GB games is upon us, and the average PC gamer is underprepared
You can also just use compactGui smaller filesizes without having to remove dialogs or cutscenes or anything. Obviously how much space is regained depends on how well it was compressed originally. With triple A titles perhaps getting 10% back, while things like ark can literally be shrunk by hundreds of gigs.
- Can we talk about client size? We are approaching 50GB!
- PSA: Use CompactGUI to reduce the the game's file size without any performance hit. I reduced the size from 81 GB to 56 GB.

For me ARK is 190GB but for my friend it is 160GB
Not really related to your question but if you want to try and save some space you can give this a go, I've used it before and never had any issues. https://github.com/IridiumIO/CompactGUI

- Why is the NTFS compression option not shown?

Why is the NTFS compression option not shown? 18TB/16.3TiB HDD NTFS formatted but for every folder the compression option is greyed out and for full disk compression the option is not shown. Any idea why? Do I need to enable NTFS compression as a feature or something?
Try if compact.exe works (there's also a GUI for it).
