Battlefield 2042 cache folder in my documents gets fuller and fuller.

@BetaFieldPlayer  you should exclude BF2042 folder from onedrive .
Or disable onedrive when ya play bf2042.

Bf2042 cache folder gets update very often , and if ya got onedrive running it will upload this cache, this means also network performance will be less during those uploads/downloads from Onedrive !

Cheers

It is not possible to exclude BF2042 folder from onedrive.

The folder still stays on the onedrive server.

If i disable onedrive my photo's from my phone dont store to onedrive anymore.

This is MS doing it all wrong, when i want a folder to exclude from onedrive it has to delete the folder from onedrive not stay on it.

@BetaFieldPlayerTechnically speaking, it's DICE that is doing this all wrong. They shouldn't be storing cache data in the "My Documents" folder. "My Documents" folder is for user-created data. Application cache data should be stored "ProgramData" or "Appdata" depending on whether or not it's user profile specific.

These are basic principles from Microsoft applicaiton developer guidelines. DICE has done this properly in past titles. More evidence of massive talent loss at DICE with the development of BF2042.

DigitalHype is correct, EA/DICE used the wrong folder to store the cache folder which gets synched by OneDrive. I have OneDrive uninstalled but that's not a good solution for all players,

DICE really needs to fix this.

@DigitalHypeI know that Dice is doing this all wrong, thats why i sayed hope they fix it. Onedrive more then half full because of 1 cache folder, this makes Onedriver unusable.

Hey all,

Thank you for this feedback. 

We have made the teams aware of this.

You could also say users from one drive did it wrong.
They should config there onedrive / folders to be backup!

More important , read the manual how to exclude folders from one drive, google for it !

Cheers

@Rokebo73When i exclude a folder from onedrive, the folder still stays on onedrive and the folder on my pc will be deleted, when i then start the game a new cache folder is made, and onedrive tells me that there are now 2 folders with the same name.

Onedrive should delete the folder from onedriver when i exclude a folder, this would make more sence but the reverse is the case.

So users did it not wrong, but Dice did and Microsoft.

I wish they put the game folders not in the documents folder but in their own game folder that is not connected to onedrive.

@Rokebo73This does not work, when i exclude the cache folder from onedrive and then go to the online version of onedrive and then delete the cache folder, when i then start up BF2042 a new cache folder will show up in onedrive.
