I found deleting the disk cache before you run a new version helps, on many issues, and many times when something funny starts to happen, remove and quit, delete the disk cache and restart will fix.
the 100 MB probably should be on by default since it does seem to make a huge difference on a lot of issues.

This is one of the best free programs i've ever had and probably the only reason I still subscribe instead of switching down to the FTP side of the game.

I've tried looking this up, but was unable to find if anyone else asked this (I did find one, but it was brushed off).

I am a Windows XP user. I cannot afford to upgrade to Windows 7/8. I am wonder if this program has been tested with Windows XP and if it will work?

Sure. Why would you want to?

Windows XP can only read up to about 3.5GB of RAM. With that RAM limit, plus the amount the operating system and the game use simultaneously, there wouldn't be enough RAM left for the RAMDisk.

Unless your system has over 4GB of RAM and you can break Windows enough to let you use the leftover RAM that XP can't even see...

You are 100% correct, I didn't even think about that. And my system has 4GB, so this would be of no value to me. Thanks.

Also thank you ArinDarcast as well. With 58 pages of this, it was a needle in a haystack.

So, has anyone noticed any difference with this? I mean as of late. I tried it, and didn't notice any fps boost. Maybe a slight loading boost...but not sure. I'll try it again sometime though.

Running win 8 with 8gb of ram.
The Empire is not evil, and the Republic is not good...it is all a matter of opinion.

Two questions:

1. Does anybody notice a difference in uploading the different planets into unleashed. I have done that for a long time and now that I removed them I hardly notice a difference.

2. What files are best to upload to smooth the load time to FPs and WZs? I have read somewhere that there are files that can do that but I canīt find that post anymore.

Honestly, I don't find this program makes any difference. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

It makes a difference for me ingame with higher FPS during gameplay

I however cant find a use for uploading planets and the other files except the ones unleashed recommends
