This wasn't the case with Windows 7. Is this a RAMdrive "feature" of Windows 8?
Didn't notice since I'm on 7 actually. Also, I don't play the game anymore so...

Can you please release the source for Unleashed then? For those of us who do....
Should something break in months to come, I dread having to wait for someone to start from scratch.

If I stop checking this thread, and think I won't update it, I will release it, don't worry

Look at the very first post on page 1, the 2nd spoiler down on the page answers this.

Well I found a work around to run a task via scheduled tasks, triggered on a user disconnect.

For some reason it doesnt work for me.
I set 7GB for virtual ram drive (i have total 16GB ram) and gave drive letter X: where is my ram drive.

When i save setting it said around 4.5GB will be used but launching swtor gives error not enough storage ????

[METHOD] RamDrive.Exists()
[METHOD] DriveManager.Exists(driveLetter=x)
[METHOD] RamDrive.Exists()
[METHOD] DriveManager.Exists(driveLetter=x)
[METHOD] RamDrive.Create()
[METHOD] RamDrive.Exists()
[METHOD] DriveManager.Exists(driveLetter=x)
[METHOD] ImDiskWrapper.CreateDevice(driveLetter=x, sizeInMegaBytes=4256, deviceNumber=0, backWithVirtualMemory=True, skipImDiskNet=False)
[METHOD] ImDiskWrapper.GetMountPoint(driveLetter=x)
[METHOD] ImDiskWrapper.Load()
[ERROR] RamDrive.Create() Exception : Not enough storage is available to process this command
[ERROR] Tools.ShowError() Not enough storage is available to process this command

Also i had issues entering ramdrive letter myself and it kept saying R: drive is already in use, even i entered X. So i manually edited XML file and gave number 120 as it is X drive letter.

After many attempts i gave up, i can see under control panel virtual disk driver it tries to create virtual drives but fails to launch always. Even if i give new driver letter not in use and used many different ones it kept failing and creating them...
The Division Dev:
I will say this. Video games have a business side as well as the creative side. This is necessary to function and only time will tell what the future of the game is.

I think you should sell it to BW for steep price, they already earned their share on the people whom your program improved game experience and lowered frustration inviting them to leave.

About Win 8, I was also surprised to see that system restores the ramdrive, however using the launcher right away caused crash, so I always use unleashed on first TOR start. I was first intrigued by much prolonged shutdown time. I just start game in retail mode to have ramdrive cleared.
It is rather curiosity than a nuisance.

Running Win 7 64 bit and loving SWTOR Unleashed.
Exca, I realize you have a lot on your plate with Win 8 and all, but was hoping I could throw a couple ideas your way that I think would greatly improve how we use SWTOR Unleashed.
I think the ability to save and load profiles would be a great help for those who don’t have a ton of RAM. Then we could load up the files we need for specific things, like a FP or PVP or a planet that hates FPS over 10.
My other idea is, I run Win Resource Monitor on a second display to monitor and take note of which files the game is accessing at any particular point when my FPS drops. I don’t know how easy or difficult this would be, but add to the program a way to log which files cause FPS drops. Like a way to monitor the FPS and maybe the ability to set a threshold of say 20FPS, and any drops under the set threshold would log which files the game was accessing on your HD. It would be especially helpful for those who don’t have the luxury of multiple displays to monitor HD activity.
For anyone trying to keep the RAM usage below 8 gigs, I have been running 4 files:
Swtormain_art_area_all_item_1
Swtor_bnk_streamed_a_1
Swtor_bnk_streamed_b_1
Swtor_bnk_streamed_c_1
This seems to work well for a generic profile for general questing.
Maybe we could start a thread so we can share our different SWTOR Unleashed builds.

Hope this helps

Exca asked me to tell you this : "I am in privilege account now, so it seems I can't post on the boards anymore. I'm sorry for you. If it confirms itself, I'll try to make a website. I'll keep you posted."
