    @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!

Up until today I had been deleting the files in : User\Documents\Battlefield 2042\cache folder on a regular basis as it is supposed to help with in-game stuttering issues etc.....

Now that it has moved to : User\AppData\Local\BattlefieldGameData.kin-release.Win32\cache is that something I should still be doing. ?

Note : I am not a OneDrive user.

Before with OneDrive enabled the cache folder was getting synched to OneDrive while gaming causing stuttering as well as filling OneDrive with useless cache files. OneDrive would nag you about being full all the time.

    Thanks for explaining that bud. 👍

    So is it safe to assume I can delete the cache files in the new AppData folder when it becomes large to save space on the hard drive. ?

    This I don't know for sure but believe it should be ok to do so.
