OK guy's first off let me say it's good to be back and for those of you that have not heard of me, don't worry you will see me soon enough.

I have installed the new patch and all looks good except this little issue with cache.

I have 2 folders now with the old un-patched data and the new patch info. I have copied accress all that I needed and today I used the new patch settings for the first time.

The issue is this - in the old un-patched version under the media folder I have 2 cache files as normall. I played 2 games on-line (patched) and when I look again I now have 4 cache files under the old un-patched media folder. On hitting fly it did take some time to load up which I expected as it was the first time I was using this patch but the wierd thing is when I hit fly for the second time it took 3 times as long and I could hear the drive going nuts - it did eventually let me in and even though I had a server not responding message I did see everyone and continued to have a great game.

Now when I look at the old media file I can see that just 2 of the cache files were updated, obviously with the patched terrain but one of them cache files was now 9meg which I have never seen before.

So my question is do I have all the files in the right place am I supposed to have the 2 cache files in my new folder where I launch the patched version of the game or am I just missing something?


Let me know guys because I'm itching to get back into it

Long time BD! Let me take a look at my files when I get home and I'll let you know. 9megs sounds way too big. Do you have any of the new user made terrains or just the 3 that comes with the game?

BD, I have only a cache.dir, cache.tex files and a sdoecache.dir and sdoecache.tex files. This is from a fresh install but I've played both the .9 patch and the 1.5 unpatched games. 9megs doesn't sound right.
