Datamonger Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 After I installed the new patch my HD was immediately met with over 20 GB of fragmentation. So if for some reason the game isn't running smoothly, I'd suggest a defrag first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obiwansghost Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Defragging really isn't necessary, unless you add/remove programs a lot. That is essentially what fragmenting is. Just installing a patch does not fragment the HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dejoule Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I suggest just getting diskeeper. It keeps my HDs defregmented at all times running passively in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lacoffee Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 P.S. Windows xp and beyond defrags automatically, never any need to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datamonger Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 How long does it take to defrag a 1 TB harddrive? I don't know. I defragged my 500 GB in around 30-40 mins, with 20 GB of fragmentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
