Ramdisk rocks

olddriedseaweed · 10-24-19, 09:49 PM

For those of you who complain about long load times in heavily modded games, I recently found a solution: Ramdisk.

Significantly reduces the loading time for games. There is a price though. Your system needs to be RAM heavy.

What the RAMDISK software does is create a virtual drive on your PC. Then you point the drive to your SH3 folder and it loads the folder into memory.

Double click the SH3.exe in the ramdisk and you're off and running.

Yes It's ASUS. No you don't have to have an ASUS computer to use it.( I don't have an ASUS computer)

Yes, it's free. Try it, you'll like it.

You can also create a Ramdisk with Daemon Tools 10.

Many different ways to skin a cat. However you create it, you'll absolutely love what it does for load times.

Thanks for the idea, I will try it with WAC as soon as I finish my current campaign with my custom mod soup for fast loading times.
