DarthTHC Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 It depends on their hardware and situation. It can improve their framerate based on how SWTOR engine works. Loading times might get a little better but in my opinion it's not the main benefit. Reducing framerate drops is the main advantage.

Socialist Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Will this work with Boot Camp? Sorry if this is a silly question, but I don't get all this tech banter, I'm really unlettered when it comes to computers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inokis Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 The only downfall is that if you reboot, the disk is wiped. Thats quite a downfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphasgimaone Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Thats quite a downfall. Because the 30 seconds it takes to recreate it is such a burden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTHC Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Thats quite a downfall. Which is easily solved when the computer comes back up by launching swtor-unleashed and smashing the unleashed button again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moozhe Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 As a WPF developer I noticed a problem with the way SWTOR Unleashed creates the secondary dialog when you press the Settings button. If you want the Settings window to act as a dialog, you need to set its owner property to the main window, and you should set ShowInTaskbar to false. This prevents focus issues. So in essence the code to launch the window would be: SettingsWindow settings = new SettingsWindow(); settings.Owner = this; // 'this' being the Main Window settings.ShowInTaskbar = false; settings.ShowDialog(); PM me if you need any help.

exca Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 1- Changelog is available in english in the french thread. 2- Thanks I'll try your WPF fix in 3.2. 3- Also, I'll remind you that if you have a very good computer like in this last comment... you will not gain higher FPS. Instead, you will only gain less FPS drops (meaning higher FPS when FPS drops ... in pvp or crowded areas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackalcrimson Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 So even though I am the administrator on my computer it keeps telling me I do not have sufficient privelages to make changes to the ramdisk drive after I create it so I can go no further with the process. Is there something I am missing or doing wrong while creating the ramdisk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something I am missing or doing wrong while creating the ramdisk? 2 options: 1- right clic and start as administrator or 2- disable Windows UAC and try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exca Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Important update! SWTOR Unleashed 3.2 http://www.metasharp.net/swtor/SwtorUnleashed_v3.2.zip Version 3.2.0 ; 2012-07-29 [iNFO] BioWare changed the way the game manages some of its files in 1.3, so if you were using Swtor Unleashed you should : "Remove and Quit", start the real launcher.exe of the game, connect a character, disconnect, then you can start using Swtor Unleashed 3.2 again. [FIX] removed the additionnal taskbar icons when the settings or about windows were open (thanks Moozhe)[FIX] Start Retail works again Edited July 30, 2012 by exca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugattiboy Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I think you forgot the "H" in "Authorized". You have "Autorized by BioWare" instead of "Authorized by BioWare" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pahomi Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 If I have to restart the game for what ever reason, do I have to restart the ramdisk as well? So if I exit the game, can I start it again from the "retail" executable or do I have to use "SWTOR remove" + "Swtor Unleshed" every time I restart the game? Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

No, you dont have to restart the ram disk. If you notice, the ramdisk is still present if you exit the game. You can simple launch the game using the normal SWTOR shortcut, you do not have to launch the Unleashed program again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antargal Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) I haven't read the entire thread but here's info for setting up a ramdisk for Windows XP 32bit, using the information in this thread and taking advantage of PAE to make use of RAM over the normal 3GB address limitation(haven't tested it with more than 4GB). Rramdisk is used for setting up the ramdisk. There's a registry setting included with the download(ram4g.reg) that enables it to use physical address extensions, thereby making memory over 3GB available(there's a couple of download links in this article). Junction is used for setting up the symbolic links. The low disk space warning is removed by adding a registry entry. In the game path, rename the swtor folder to swtor_orig. Under documents and settings\{username}\Local Settings\Application Data, rename the swtor folder to swtor_original . The Ramdisk is configured as a 1.2GB fixed disk(haven't tested it thoroughly yet). Make a text file called swtor ramdisk.bat on your desktop and edit these commands in, adjusting for your system setup. My ramdisk is drive R: FORMAT /FS:NTFS /FORCE /Q /V:RamDisk /A:512 R: md R:\swtor junction -s "{gamepath}\swtor" R:\swtor junction -s R:\swtor\retailclient "{gamepath}\swtor_orig\retailclient" md R:\swtordoc\swtor junction -s "C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Application Data\swtor" R:\swtordoc\ junction -s "R:\swtordoc\swtor\settings" "C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Application Data\swtor_original\swtor\settings" Save and run the file and you should be good to go. Once it's all setup, the only thing you should have to do is run the batch file after rebooting. Edited August 13, 2012 by Antargal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
