Downloading Updates to Separate Drive & Install


Recommended Posts

Greetings.

 

Just curious for future reference. Couldn't find if this was referred to previously and there is no information on the thread about DCS _updater.

 

Is there a way to download our patches and updates to a separate drive, then patch/update to our install directory from that separate drive instead of using the main install directory with dcs updater ?

 

Thanks

Downloading Updates to Separate Drive & Install

 

I would be very interested in this as well, especially if I will be keeping 2x90GB installs on my SSD. Being able to download the update to a spinner will make it easier for storage and preserve the life of the SSD.

windows NTFS support /hard/symbol/junction link

symbol link and junction link are able to cross different partition/HDD and even network.

You can create a folder junction _download to somewhere else. It will redirect all IO under _download to your target location.
