BASPM Knock Out my PC!

[Templer_12]

Nach84,

the headline stands.
I reported about "my" PC, "my" system, "my" configuration!
Not "yours", not the ones in the neighborhood, not all of the PCs worldwide.
And I have reported on an actual event.

I'm not a computer spezialist.
I was surprised by the error message the've never seen before, and it took me hours with desperate and amateur looking for the cause.
That was not funny!

Well, nico7550 posted a useful and comradely indication.

Even I'm not a native english speaker, I'm sure I have the words: mine, yours, all - used properly.
In my eyes this was a factual report before a Mr. Important heated things up.

Hello Templer,

I think you missed my point in my previous message. I'm not arguing about the use of the word "my" instead of "yours". What I'm saying is that using alarmist messages in the subject such as "BASPM Knock Out my PC!" doesn't help anyone. Newcomers browsing the forums for the first time and seeing such messages will probably get a wrong impression about us and our product. If you run into an issue, then by all means report it and we'll look into it, but using alarmist messages won't make the problem go away sooner and it casts a bad image on us who, I believe, have been extremely responsive to anyone and everyone who has reported issues both here and on Steam.

In any case, you're free to use any words you want (provided they are not offensive, of course), but I just wanted you to be aware of how certain things affect us. I assume you want us to remain working on this and keep producing titles related to space exploration and the space program

Cheers,

Yes, and we offered you solution, and instead of insulting us, because you are not pc specialist, you should be happy we tryed to write it so easy to undesrand as we can.
You know, we should say to you GFO, and then ignore your problem.
If you dont try to understand what we trying to write there, there are only 2 posible results :
a) you will find soeone who will understand what we writing there (or you will hire him)
b) you will not have problem solved

AND AS FINAL NOTE : PLS UNDERSTAND THAT YOU LACK OF SPACE ON HDD IS NOT DEVS FAULT, ONLY YOU FAULT (PROBLEM).

Hi Templer,

Don't worry, I report this problem months ago..., I have a 50Go SSD as system drive and I fight for each bytes of space...

How to solve your trouble:

1. Go on another disk and create a UNITY_CACHE folder in a place you will not delete the folder.
2. Close BASPM
3. go to the cache folder, copy the content to the folder create in point 1
4. rename the cache fodler in cache_OLD
5. launch a command line interpreter as administrator
6. use the mklink command : mklink /D <ORIGINAL_CACHE_FOLDER_PATH> <NEW_CACHE_FOLDER_PATH>
7. delete the folder renamed at point 4

Example for my computer :

1. I go to disk D: and create D:\UNITY_CACHE
2. I close BASPM
3. I copy the content of C:\USERS\ME\APPDATA\LOCALOW\UNITY\WEBPLAYER\CACHE to D:\UNITY_CACHE
4. I rename C:\USERS\ME\APPDATA\LOCALOW\UNITY\WEBPLAYER\CACHE into C:\USERS\ME\APPDATA\LOCALOW\UNITY\WEBPLAYER\CACHE_OLD
5. start menu ==> accessories ==> right click on command line and choice start as administrator
6. mklink /D "C:\USERS\ME\APPDATA\LOCALOW\UNITY\WEBPLAYER\CACHE" "D:\UNITY_CACHE" (it should create a new folder C:\USERS\ME\APPDATA\LOCALOW\UNITY\WEBPLAYER\CACHE with a sort arrow on it, If you have an error about creation problem with existing folder, switch the 2 folder in the previous command).
7. I delete "C:\USERS\ME\APPDATA\LOCALOW\UNITY\WEBPLAYER\CACHE_OLD"

Hope it help

Cheers

When I use this operation and later I change or uninstall BASPM, will this command then remain as a corpse still active in my system?
Any harm to my system?
Do I have to use a additional command to abrogate the command?

Hello Templer,

This operation only affects the directory where Unity (our game engine) stores its cached data. If you uninstall the game, the link between C:\USERS\ME\APPDATA\LOCALOW\UNITY\WEBPLAYER\CACHE and D:\UNITY_CACHE will still be there. Though you can easily remove it by deleting the symbolic link (i.e., the folder with the arrow icon on top).

No harm to your system at all. The only thing the command does is make Unity think that it's writing the cached data to C:\USERS\ME\APPDATA\LOCALOW\UNITY\WEBPLAYER\CACHE when, in fact, it's writing it to D:\UNITY_CACHE. You can always delete the folder with the arrow on top and everything will be back as it was.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
