I'm having an issue with how much storage the app uses; when it downloads it takes up <36 mb, but after being installed for less than two days it's suddenly taking up 1.69 gb. This is under data, not app or system cache. This is almost all my remaining storage (I noticed it because a notification popped up about low storage, and when I checked there was less than 200 mb left)

Is this intentional and/or unavoidable? Is there a way to fix it, other than deleting the data or redownloading the app? Or will I have to delete the data whenever it gets too big? I want to continue playing the game, and my tablet is the only device I have that I can do so on (my phone is way too old and I don't have my own computer)

They said roughly 3gb, i got it up to 4.39gb at one point but it didnt really increase too much after that from what i saw.

Without enough storage you will have to continue deleting data,i also know certain problems may come from not having enough space on your device when playing the game. now with less potato!

Well, that sucks. My tablet only has like 4 gb of space (well, technically it has 16, but the OS is like 12 gb by itself or something)

Would I be able to move the app to a micro SD card? I was considering doing so for a few apps (would probably have to delete some of the music on the card to get 4 gb space, but eh. It's my dad's music, and thus includes 13 hours of Barry Manilow, so trimming should hopefully be fairly easy)

One of the reasons I haven't already moved apps over to the card is because I've read that it can make apps work slowly? I'm not entirely sure how that'd affect the runescape app. The game doesn't really play slow but it seems sorta, jerky? A tiny bit laggy, I guess, but not to anywhere near an unplayable extent. Just not smooth like osrs usually seems.

Has anyone had any experience with having the game installed on an SD card rather than internal storage? If so, what was it like?

Well i would say check the other apps you have you can move,as far as i could tell
Rs3 app didn't really move any significant amount of its data over to the micro SD card when i switched the location and i even looked at the folders.

I did not remember how it played with whatever it did store there, from my experience the speed of any app just depends on whats all files were moved and how it uses those files.

I will go and check this again,been a while.
