Cache MUST be moved out of Documents
I know others have mentioned this, but the location of cache under Documents is absolutely interfering with work being done on the PC at other times. This of course is due to how OneDrive works and ...

I was able to work around this by 1. disabling one drive (or exclude the bf2042 folder from the allowed one drive folders). 2. using mklink to create a junction that points to a cache dir on the proper drive. It's complete nonsense that the cache is in the documents folder. This hint is in the folder name.
It is possible that Mlink does not make sense in this case. Someone wanted to have a cache in AppData then I wrote how it could be done. I use Mlinka to move BF2042 caches / shaders of other games or browser caches to the HDD to delay cycle wear and SSD write cells for longer life. I don't use OneDrive and its cloud because I value privacy and don't like my files to be on an external MS server, also I don't know how this program works 🙂 For me One Drvie is redundant.
Too bad it didn't help you.

Having issues with it since this week as well, I have turned off syncing to that folder many many times, usually a new patch seems to undo what I did or might just be windows being an *
But atm I can't even turn off the syncing anymore, Windows says because it's in documents it's important so can't turn it off anymore
Big fail for this to be in documents tbh needs to move somewhere more logical
- @doubleome disable onedrive from booting with windows, use REVOUNINSTALLER.
If y did change setting ya need to reboot.
After gaming dont forget to enable onedrive again (if ya need backups).
Again reboot required.
Cheers
