Re: Psa check your 2042 cache folder mine is at a bloated 1.74gb

Doesn't the folder size stop growing after a certain amount of time?

Each file seems to be something different so I would think that after awhile there would be nothing more needed to cache?

After 6 days of play (I emptied mine 6 days ago due to an issue I was trying to sort out) mine is approx. 985MB so far.

@BigShottt6 days almost 1gb that right there shows there is a issue here. They must be stacking or uncompressed textures even that there is so many re used assets why would it grow  over 1gb sense november.,


Great ideas everyone but the end user should not be fixing this obvious programing flaw.

@tom_lookenWhy, is yours really still growing every day, even after 55 days?

My cache folder for the open beta was only 149MB with 340 files.

My cache folder for Season 2 is 1.5GB with over 3,500 files.

/facepalm

It's the shader cache folder. Deleting the folder forces the game to recompile all the shaders on the CPU during gameplay which causes CPU spikes and stutters during battles.
