I want to rebuild my PC and put Fortnite on a stick so I do not have to download it again with my bad internet connection. I've got a 64 GB stick today. Fortnite total covers about 49 GB. So should have a loose overall space. With a few smaller files in the Fortnite folder (about 4 GB in size), however, I'm told that they are supposedly too big. How can that be and how can I fix it?
Your stick will have been formatted with FAT32 - this can contain files with a maximum size of about 4GB.
Simply format it with NTFS or exFAT
The correct statement would be: "4 GB are too big for your used file system".
Under Windows, you should use NTFS.
You format it new, here's a guide:
Run CMD as administrator
Enter DISKPART
list disk
select disk 1 (depending on which your USB stick is, caution, choose correctly!)
clean
create partition primary
active
format fs = ntfs quick
assignment
exit
exit
This method works 100% so work slowly and carefully.
Peace.
Update: Of course, formatting means that all the files on it are gone, so be careful.
