Nialfb Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Is it still recommended to delete the FXO and MetaShader2 folders, from the Saved Games folders, following an update?

Moxica Posted January 22 Posted January 22 It has never done anything for my system. -Maybe if there is some corrupt files there or smth.. Otherwise, I call placebo.

MAXsenna Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Right. Thanks. So is that the official answer?Well, the mods highly recommend it, and the Updater is supposed to do this automatically. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk 1
Art-J Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) ^ It doesn't I'm afraid. You're right It was indeed supposed to, some version numbers ago, and maybe did for a while at some point, but not anymore it seems. I've just purged both folders manually after monday updating did nothing to them, as usual. If the procedure was placebo, CMs and devs wouldn't recommend doing it as one of first steps during gfx-related troubleshooting. It's probably not necessary after EVERY patch, though. I tend to do it after the big updates which do contain some advertized gfx-effects related changes (ie. recent introduction of fog, volumetric lights etc.).

Nialfb Posted February 5 Author Posted February 5 Hi Guys Thanks. I delete the folders whenever I update so I'll keep on doing it. I know they get re-written on first run so I can't see that deleting them does any harm.

As a good practice everytime i update GPU drivers or after a DCS update i have the habit to do so, it fixed small errors in the past for me (low frame rate/frame timing, crashes in specific missions).
