Re: Cache being saved to documents, which gets synced by Onedrive

Found no reason to have OneDrive, so uninstalled it. Now no more synching during games.

DICE need to remove the cache folder from the My Documents folder and put it in the %appdata% folder where it belongs.

guys, literally - One Drive allows you to EXEMPT a folder, Google Drive allows you to EXEMPT a folder.... all these services allow you to EXEMPT a folder. 

just EXEMPT the BF2042 Documents folder from One Drive, Google, whatever it may be Drive and move on.

Did any of yall even check your settings for "Folder Exemptions"  or did you just need to be lazy and whine about something?

@AOD_CapStar362 Please show the steps on where to do this. You talk a lot for someone who has no knowledge on the subject. You cannot exempt the folder from onedrive.

Local Disc C: > User > Name > Appdata

Not in My Documents.

You cannot exempt the bf2042 folder. You can exempt the entire documents folder, but that defeats the purpose of using the cloud. Also notice the bottom sentence and smug attitude. We all know you can exempt the entire documents folder. You provided zero solutions and really acted like you did something.

@TOPHlMUSokay buddy, sure. that's why my google drive does NOT have my BF2042 folder in, but several other folders from the same parent folder. and keeps them in sync.

Im done conversing with you. One Drive sucks anyways, cant stand it. G-Drive it WILL exempt it individually.

You claimed even onedrive users were just lazy for not checking settings but now you just trash people who use it. Wow. You have contributed nothing. Show the steps to exclude folders inside a synced folder for Gdrive for the others that use it. 

Hey folks, we've removed a number of posts in an attempt to keep the thread on-topic and open.

Please keep the discussion respectful and focused on the topic at hand rather than insulting other users so we can keep this conversation productive and available, thanks all.

Thx. After that post came in last night I didn't chime in with "Don't feed the trolls" as I should have! Haha.

Per the thread title, Re: Cache being saved to documents, which gets synced by Onedrive...

So for now, per Microsoft, there is no way to set exceptions on specific folders within OneDrive on installations of OneDrive (Not Google Drive). There are ways to exempt certain file types (mentioned within this thread) which has been the closest I've been able to get it to being the least impactful on performance, when I forget to turn OneDrive off before launching BF2042. This is the best we can do for now until EA/DICE changes the location of these files (doubt this will happen for the 2042 product, maybe on a future release this will be taken into consideration during early phases of development), or until Microsoft allows for more granular control of OneDrive (who knows if/when this may ever come to fruition). 

In the meantime, I'll see you all on the battlefield. Let's go C5 some uncap camping TOR tanks, EH?! 😉
