SOLVED: Disk space warning

[Brian-Broncos]

Fix for the false “needs at least 30 MB of disk space” warning

1. Download FbPro98-diskspace.sdb (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yStCwEodA2bU8Zvz3qo2kXqSszuEi9h8/view?usp=sharing) and save it somewhere, such as a "C:\PNFL\Utilities\FbPro98 disk space fix".
2. Click Start, type cmd, right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator.
3. Change the path to where you saved the file and run the install command:
   

   Code: Select all

   cd "C:\PNFL\Utilities\FbPro98 disk space fix"
sdbinst FbPro98-diskspace.sdb

If you ever want to uninstall it, run the same command with -u:

Code: Select all

cd "C:\PNFL\Utilities\FbPro98 disk space fix"
sdbinst -u FbPro98-diskspace.sdb

This is not a hack or a patched game file. Windows ships a compatibility fix named EmulateGetDiskFreeSpace specifically for this disk space issue. Installing the .sdb file just tells Windows to apply that fix to Hike.exe. I made the it with Microsoft’s own Compatibility Administrator tool. It changes nothing in the game folder and it's fully reversible.

Disclaimer: The warning was not showing up for me at the time I created this fix of course, so hopefully it actually works.
