You probably measured the size of entire PoE folder by mistake. SharedCache folder should be around 300mb at max, if you had the game for at least 3 months and never reinstalled it, otherwise it would be smaller. ____________________ Also, you probably should link your ramdisk with an image file, which is basically a backup of all your ramdisk data which is stored on your regular harddrive/SSD. In case of power failure / complete shutdown / etc. you won't loose data that way, since it will be restored from the backup image. In SoftPerfect program to do so you first select "Create Image", choose size, location, label, NTFS filesystem. After that select "Mount Image" and select the file you just created. Then, select your ramdisk, right click, open properties, click "Advanced", and there select "Save contents to associated image, every:" and set the number of minutes (30 / 60 / whatever you want). Yeah, i rechecked the cache, and it was only ~200 mb. Thanks. I normally shutdown my computer when i goto work/sleep etc so i tried to create an image but i couldn't make it create an image of the shadercache folder It seems like it will only create an image of a specific file, not an entire folder... So, what am i doing wrong here? :D thanks again fixed! read next post below Last edited by Zerovirus27 on May 13, 2013, 11:10:13 AM	Posted by Zerovirus27 on May 13, 2013, 10:55:30 AM Quote this Post
Well, I think I figured it out. Is there a way to verify that my ramdisk data is being saved to the image? I tried remounting it to see if it would load with the cache like it should but the ramdisk was empty... Would it hurt performance it i had is saving often? like every 20-30 mins? While playing POE would i notice it saving to the image?	Posted by Zerovirus27 on May 13, 2013, 11:09:46 AM Quote this Post

Anyone knows if cached files from others will work on my game? Just installed it and have only 5 mb of cached files, and my HDD is the bottleneck of my PC, so it would really help to get some shaders preloaded.	Posted by Nallrad on Jul 22, 2017, 6:58:57 AM Quote this Post
Anyone, does this still works? When i press enter at CMD with mklink /j "C:\Users\Onti\AppData\Roaming\Path of Exile\ShaderCacheD3D12" "H:\POE\ShaderCacheD3D12" it says "Cannot create a file when that file already exists." More stronger and less white pollution screen mobs = heathier game experience.	Posted by TizeNO on Sep 5, 2023, 12:51:29 AM Quote this Post
Yes, it still works. Make sure "C:\Users\Onti\AppData\Roaming\Path of Exile\ShaderCacheD3D12" doesn't exist (in your case).	Posted by SmL9 on Sep 5, 2023, 5:43:58 AM Quote this Post
