Hello guys.

When i copy the whole game folder it says to me after a few secs that file destination.........file is too large.
But the flash drive is 32Gp i dont know where is the problem.

You probably need to format it to ntfs, I believe fat32 doesn't support 1 file thats bigger than 4gb.

I thought that FAT16 only had a 4GB limit and FAT32 could go up to 2TB, anyway just to be sure use NTFS.

On fat32 a single file can be max 4gb, the maximum size of the whole storage medium can be 2TB.

Surena, FAT16 has a mere 2GB limit. NTFS  doesn't only allow larger files, but it's security is better, so you might as well format the drive to NTFS.

FAT16 is very uncommon nowadays, it was used during the MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 era.

Best solution is to use NTFS.

To final this topic up;

Use the NTFS filesystem -> If you need to use lots of data on Windows only.
Use the exFAT filesystem -> If you need your flash drive for both Windows and Mac.
Use the FAT32 filesystem -> If you still rock Windows ME/2000 or earlier and don`t care about the 4GB limitation.
Use the FAT16 filesystem -> If you hate everything about life and want to suffer.

NTFS is the most recent file system brought by Microsoft, which is being used on Windows only.
exFAT is a mix from both NTFS and FAT32, its Mac and Windows friendly while having no 4GB limit.
FAT32 has got good compatibility with older operating systems for people still preferring Windows 98.
FAT16 I am not aware for any advantages to use this ancient filesystem.
