He made the initial thread how to setup SWTOR with a ramdisk manually. Over time this evolved to written bachscripts and currently we have a complete program written in C# with a simple userinferface. If you are interested in why we place certain gamefiles on the ramdisk or see a basic speedtest on a ramdisk look in where it is tried to explain the reason behind the increased performance. This includes less hitching, faster texture loading and even on some systems FPS increase depending on added files. Does this violate the rules or can I get a ban?

Code: This program encountered an internal error and will exit. Error code: 6 Unable to create temporary workspace files. Do you have at least 2GB of disk space free? This appears when DiskCacheArena is linked, and that the ramdisk is not mounted or formatted so the game cannot create the file on the ramdisk. • Long loading screen followed by an error sound, Bioware intro shows but stable backscreen afterwards.
This error appears when local cache is linked and that the game cannot make the local cache on the ramdrive. This can be due that the ramdisk is not mounted, formatted or that the path 'SWTOR swtor ' was not created on the ramdisk. • Game returning any kind of error saying it misses asset files. These errors appears when any (but not all) asset file is linked to the ramdrive, but the game cannot find it. This can happed due that the ramdisk is not mounted or formatted. Another possibility is that the asset files is not copied over or still has the _ORIG tag in the name (while on the ramdisk). • Settings are lost when you start the game and play.
This happens only when local cache is added to the ramdisk, but for some reason the linkback to '%localappdata% SWTOR_Original swtor settings' is not made from the ramdrive. Meaning the game recreates the settings on the ramdrive, and with a reboot the settings are lost (those on the ramdrive).
Manual recovery. The three different methods are made in such a way that there should be no need for a reinstallation of SWTOR if something goes wrong during the execution or loss of settings file. There is quite an easy way to revert it. Note; when I talk about 'link' I mean a symbolic link that can be recognized as a shortcut. This means that the fileicon will have a small arrow attached to it. • If you did add DiskCacheArena to the ramdisk; • Navigate to the root folder of the game.
• Open the folder named 'swtor'. • Inside should be a link called 'DiskCacheArena', delete it. • If you did add local cache to the ramdisk; • Navigate to you local appdata folder. •%localappdata% • Users AppData Local (AppData is hidden if enabled) • A folder called 'SWTOR' should be a link, delete it. • A folder named 'SWTOR_Original' should exist, rename it to 'SWTOR'. • If you add any asset file to the ramdisk (do this for each file); • Navigate to the root folder of the game.
• Open the folder named 'Assets'. Ohmboyz Au Cracked. • Look for a linked asset file (will have 0kB as size), delete it. • Right under it should be the asset file containing '_ORIG' on the end, remove the '_ORIG' tag from the name. SWTOR Unleashed A program to automate the setup and removal process to use this game (SWTOR) with an ramdisk.
This includes creating a ramdrive, copying file and creating the needed links. You as user can select what files you want to have on the ramdrive, depending on your needs and maximal available ram. Administrator rights This progam requires administrator rights to run, thus for those that have UAC enabled will receive this warning to allow the program full acces. This is needed bacause the program needs to move, rename and delete files. On top of that it also needs to create a ramdrive and symbolic links. Patching the game In the current state, this program does not check and intercept patching of the game. In normal cases it should not be a big problem unless you selected asset files to place on the ramdrive.
If the launcher needs to patch one of these asset files, it stops and returns an unable to patch error and will display a repair link. Do not press repair but simply close the launcher, open this program again and press play retail. This will remove the setup and the game is able to patch correctly. After that you can of course play unleashed again. Passing arguments This program accepts three different arguments that can control the program without showing an GUI. You can create a shortcut to the program and give one of the arguments after the quoted path with a space.
For example the program is placed in; C: SWTOR Unleashed v3.x SWTOR Unleashed.exe Thus the shortcut target will be; 'C: SWTOR Unleashed v3.x SWTOR Unleashed.exe' argument The three possible arguments are; • unleashed; this will start SWTOR with a ramdisk setup • retail; this will start SWTOR without a ramdisk setup • remove; this will dismount and remove an active setup Download Screenshots - - Every window can be closed when pressing escape.

ALL-IN-ONE BATCH VERSION 4.0.0 This batscript will setup a ramdisk for the DiskCacheArena and local cache files. It is possible to add asset files but this require settings work in the script prior running it. The mount script can be used to mount the ramdisk, create the necessary files and if given start the launcher, for this there is no input needed from you as user. The ALL-IN-ONE batchscript can do the same but then you have to select an menu item Please be aware when using asset files on the ramdisk that the game can return an error when it wants to patch, remove the setup prior patching, and run the setup again after patching. INSTRUCTIONS (PLEASE READ).
Creating batchscript • Copy the ALL-IN-ONE batchscript. • Open notepad. • Paste the copied batchscript into notepad. • Change user settings if wanted (see next spoiler in the post). • Save as with the name; anyname.bat (.bat is important!).
• Press save. • Batchscript created (check if the icon is not a textfile anymore). • Do the same for the MOUNT batchscrip (if you wish to use it). Setup SWTOR for ramdisk • Be able to run SWTOR without a ramdisk. • Have installed on your machine (can be changed in script now).
• Run the created/selected batchscript as administrator. • Once in the menu press ' s' on your keyboard to setup. • Once you confirmed the message of a clean setup press ' y' on your keyboard. • Start the game. What to do on a reboot / dismount • Use the MOUNT batchscript (can be used as computer startup script): • Run the MOUNT batchscript as administrator. • Start the game • Use the ALL-IN-ONE batchscript (human interaction is needed): • Run the ALL-IN-ONE script as administrator.
• Once in the menu press ' m' on your keyboard to mount the ramdrive. • Start the game. Dismount ramdrive (to free up memory) • Run the ALL-IN-ONE batchscript as administrator. • Once in the menu press ' d' on your keyboard to dismount the ramdrive.
Remove the ramdisk setup • Run the ALL-IN-ONE batchscript as administrator (make sure settings are same when you did the setup). • Once in the menu press ' r' on your keyboard to remove the ramdisk setup. • Uninstall Imdisk if preferred. Use the mount script To use the mountscript, please use the exact same settings you used in the ALL-IN-ONE batchscript. As this script also needs to know what you want on the ramdisk.
SCRIPT SETTINGS. Auto start the launcher after mounting; • Change line [15] ' set AutoLaunch=no' to ' set AutoLaunch=yes'. Change driveletter of the ramdisk; • Change line [19] ' set RamDrive=T:' to ' set RamDrive=Z:' if you want it as Z: Change ramdisk volume size; • Change line [26] set RamSize=1500M' to set RamSize=4000M' if you want it as 4GB. • Some recommended sizes; • Cache files only use '1500M'. • Cache files + Fx asset file use '1600M'. • Cache + Fx asset file + Dynamic asset files use '4G'. Add asset files to the ramdisk setup; To add asset files to the ramdisk you need to know the filenames of those files you want to add.
Once you know the filenames you add lines the following way; • For asset file 1 add the line ' set AssetFile01=NAME_OF_FILE_1'. • For asset file 2 add the line ' set AssetFile02=NAME_OF_FILE_2'. • For asset file 3 add the line ' set AssetFile03=NAME_OF_FILE_3'. In the script the fx and dynamic asset files already placed but are commented out with a double colon (:. To use them, just remove the:: and make sure the number add up, 01->02->03->ect. Override installationpath, for if the script can't find it; • Rightclick on your SWTOR launcher shortcut, and select properties.

Don't use Imdisk with setup/mounting; • Change line [48] ' set UseImdisk=yes' to ' set UseImdisk=no'. • Have another program create the ramdisk before you run the setup/mount. Please make sure the given RamSize is sufficient enough (minimal or more), because this batchscrip does not check the amount of free space on the created ramdrive!

MANUAL Ok so I write this post just for consistency and for those who are interested what the program or batchscrip now actually do. I start off right away and assume you have installed Imdisk by now, as I will use that to create the ramdisk.
In this example it will be T: This focuses on getting the big DiskCacheArena and the local cachefiles on the ramdisk, additional asset files are not described here but goes with the same method. The following commands may need to be filled in (will be yellow) and run them in cmd.exe run as administrator. Creating a ramdisk The following code will create a ramdisk T: that has a size of 1,5GB and is formatted as NTFS. Code: mklink ' swtor DiskCacheArena' 'T: DiskCacheArena' Linking local cache to the ramdisk Now this is a bit difficult as the two cache files are deleted and remade by the game itself, even during gameplay, we cannot link those as it will just delete the link files.
Thus we put the whole 'SWTOR' folder that resides in your local appdata on the ramdisk, but this folder contains also your settings, and on a ramdisk everthing is lost on a reboot. To link this folder to the ramdisk (so the cachefiles will be build on it) we have to linkback to the settings folder, so your ingame settings are not lost.
First we start of creating the required folder on the ramdisk with the following code. Ramdisk what and why A ramdisk is actually a piece of your memory that you use as it was actually a disk. Now you probably can imagine that the read/write speed on these disk are way higher than even a SSD. The only downfall is that if you reboot, the disk is wiped.
The files we focus on to put on the ramdisk are; • DiskCacheArena • Local SWTOR cache • Asset files Now I assume for this explanation that you have both Windows and SWTOR on the same disk. If the game needs data, it will pause the game untill the load it done (some call it hitching). What I have read around the forums it seems that the data loaded (read) from the asset files, streamed by the local cache files (read/write action) to the large DiskCacheArena (write). Once the data is cached in that file the game then uses it (read). Now you can see if it were on the same disk, that are quite some read/write actions performed on different files!
Hench we want to especially put the cache files on the ram. Imdisk ramdisk speed test with CrystalDiskMark 3.0.1. If you have to do all this to play a game you probably should look for a new game. Well it is your own choice to use this or not. I just started this after I came across this solution by Lemon_King on his thread, and I just went along and created the batchscript and eventually now the compiled program written in C#.
These two practically does everthing for you, only you need to start the game with this else the ramdisk is not created with the required files. This actually started more as a personal project, as I already was interested in programming, but decided to give you guys the easy way aswell with the methods.
