    @RayD_01 spotted that the cache folder has been moved to the \BattfieldGameData.kin %appdata% folder out of MyDocuments folder. Guys let me know if you can use OneDrive again!

      its no longer called that, the point being made here. the fact that one drive looks at the entire tree of - C:\users\name folder and since %APPDATA% resides on that folder, simply exempt the users folder from One Drive.
