Question about cache

Hello

I'd installed BeamNG on a HDD drive because there are very small changes about SSD/HDD for loading maps/vehicles and the game take 80+Gb.

So, I ask if is it possible to change only the cache location, I think that is a good idea for a little bit speed up without take a lot of SSD space.

In the startup.ini file, I can only change the Documents location (I'd many mods in it) and not only the cache folder.

Thanks

 

Thanks.

Also if there are minor gain speed between HDD/SSD, make only that will change virtually nothing, but maybe it permit to separate game and cache drive.

 

I have done this on a larger scale, moving the game AND the documents/BeamNG folder to my SSD, and gains were visible but not worth the 10+gb of limited space it took. Here is an example that I remember:
Gridmap on HDD w/o cache loaded: 34.6s
Gridmap on SSD w/o cache loaded: 32.8s
Gridmap on HDD w/ cache loaded: 13.1s
Gridmap on SSD w/ cache loaded: 10.2s

 

Thanks.

The most benefit is use cache (by default), not between ssd/hdd (only 10-20% speedup)

 

If you still want to go through all the figuring out it needs to move only the cache folder for these minor gains, you should check out this thread : https://www.beamng.com/threads/changing-mod-install-directory.58077
