Kerkain Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I just bought some new parts and have them all installed in my computer and I'm just working on getting the updates and drivers. I bought a 128GB SSD and I gotta say that holy crap wow its awesome. Anyway, I wanted to know if I could simply move my DCS folder from my old hard drive to my SSD or if that would cause some file integrity problems or registry problems or something else. Anyone have any ideas on that? Also, I am looking for the .exe for the 1.1.1.0 build. I have the .bin files in a backup but I apparently didn't put the .exe in there as well. I also have the patch to 1.1.1.1 files already as well. I don't want to redownload the whole full installer again due to my extremely crap internet speeds. 100KB/s max. If someone can shed some light on these things I would greatly appreciate it! Take care and thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) You should be able to move DCS A-10 as long as you update your shortcuts but I must admit to never having had a reason to do so. As for the exe. Here it is.

Thank you for the exe. As for my reason to move the folder, I'm hoping to just cut down on the load times. I can't imagine it would have any improvement on the game play itself, and if so I probably wouldn't notice it. I will notice a three to four minute wait during load turn into a 20 to 30 second load though. Thats my hope! Actually I probably won't move the folder, now that I have the exe I'll be able to just reinstall fresh. Edited May 23, 2012 by Kerkain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer clean install just incase something has gotten 'buggered' over time that I might not be aware of. You should be quite happy with A-10 on an SSD.

So far, loading the game is wicked fast. Graphics settings are now on HIGH, before they were all set and maxed at MEDIUM. I'm highly interested in seeing how well my computer handles HIGH settings... I may just end up putting them back down to medium lol, but still that was an unexpected surprise to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 You didn't say what other parts you changed. The SSD will, as you see, improve load times but it should have no impact on in game graphic performance. That is pretty much CPU/Graphics card territory.

Kerkain Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 That is what I was thinking as well, which is why it was unexpected. I upgraded my RAM to 12GB, up from 3.25GB. I imagine that was probably the biggest reason. Went to a 64-bit OS. Installed a 128GB SDD Installed a 1TB HDD for storage. So, as you can see, with what I installed I wasn't expecting anything other than load times to change. But I got some nice graphics changes as well, likely due to the RAM upgrades. Game works like a freaking charm by the way!!! My load times were cut down significantly. My estimates above were pretty close, I'd say I wait for about 10 to 15 seconds tops. That. Is. Unbelievable.

cichlidfan Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 The 64bit OS and the additional memory definately would make DCS happier. Along with the SSD that made for a nice little upgrade. By the end of the summer I plan on getting the rest of my system disks on SSD and hopefully all application disks as well.

Hamblue Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Kerkain, what CPU and video card are you running? Moving to a 64 bit OS with memory definitely would have helped.

pixelpilot Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 here's hoping that a nice price drop in ssd drives will coincide with the final release of DCS world. So i can kill 2 birds with a fresh install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacotito Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Ssd prices are pretty low right now. Lots of them on newegg at less than $1/gb. Wish I would have waited a few months now since the one I got is $40 cheaper now. Hopefully the prices keep falling. Pacotito I7-5820k@4.5 Z99 extreme4 16gb ddr4 520gb ssd.
