The new download on demand system is now live, and wants to move my game files to a folder on my C drive. My C drive doesn't have anywhere near enough free space for the Eve game files. Is there anyway to get download on demand to load to a different drive, or am I just screwed? |

No, you can move the shared cache files anywhere. In fact, I moved mine out of the Program Files folder to avoid any problems with privileges (admin privileges) in the future.

By default it puts them in C:\ProgramData\... but there's a browse button to change it to any directory or drive you like.
Though I wish CCP would have made the location text box editable, so I could just change the C to D..
Also it doesn't take any(much) additional space as to what you currently use, it's migrates the files over, rather than making a copy of them.. |

I moved it to a subfolder in the eve directory, never liked random stuff ending up in program files.

The launcher asked me the first time I started it today where I wanted the cache. Is it not working like that for some people?

I put my shared folder to my D:\Games directory, so now I have 5 EVE related folders there:
EVE Online - for the main client, about 432 MB
EVE Online Buckingham - test server folder, currently empty
EVE Online Duality - test server folder, currently empty
EVE Online Shared Cache - this is the new cache folder, about 14,2 GB
EVE Online Singularity - test client, about 432 MB

It doesn't seem to to be correctly identifying the eve install directory, despite mine being on drive M: It told me it was installed to a folder on C: .... which doesn't exist.
Its easily fixable, but annoying. At least this patch didn't delete boot.ini or remove empty wrecks from the game...oh wait.... |

I got news for you. If your C: drive is too small to hold ALL of EVE, then your computer pretty much is in the 20th Century and nobody living in the 21st Century can be blamed for that. If you're trying to get OUR developers to torture OUR game into a form that can allow you to continue to avoid paying for a REAL COMPUTER, get a life.
Ain't gonna happen. Not in THIS century, anyway.

Really?
The OP probably has his drive partitioned out so that only Windows resides on the C: Partition which does not have to be that large and keeps the rest of his programs/files elsewhere.

Some of us like to like to have our multiple terabyte HDD/SDDs carefully organized with C: set aside as a boot for our OS and dedicated physical volumes for each OS/Media/Games/Work/video edits, and don't appreciate it when things arbitrarily attempt to install themselves where they like.

120/128gig SSD's are quite common in conjunction with a 1-2TB HHD on market computers and custom builds from 2 years ago, e.g. the normal system most games are played on. |

Just make sure you point the launcher to where you put the the file.

I learned how to repartition my hard drive today. Thanks CCP 
For those like myself that are not very tech literate but willing to mess around I found these links to be the most helpful. https://askleo.com/can_i_make_my_c_partition_bigger_by_taking_space_from_d/ and
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e7cc69df-f282-46d7-9e41-159847096eb8#BKMK_WINUI
So expanding your C drive and taking it from the unused space that the manufacturer or seller of your computer put in the D drive can be done without downloading any dodgy or not free software. The solution is right there in Windows 7 if you don't mind messing around a bit and waiting.
Also, yeah, some of us don't go out and buy the latest wizbang computer every 2 or 3 years. Sorry to the guy on page 1 that we are not also elite computer nerds. It happens.
CCP, there are off buttons for ship explosions, missile effects, turret effects, etc. "Immersion" does not seem to be harmed by those. So, [u]please[/u] give us a persisting-áoff button for the jump gate and autoscan visuals.

But you could have used some of the awesome free- or shareware tools available for windows. They would even install some needed tweak tools and wonderfull protection against evil things from the internetz on your pc and "information" banners in your browser! And all that without you having to get headache about all this techy things.

Deacon, you may be interested in GParted, a defacto Linux partition editing app that can be booted from CD/DVD even if you want to work with Windows or Mac drives. Its easy to use, been around for at least a decade and free, as much Linux software is.
Clonezilla is also nice for making disk images/moving windows installs to new HD. |

Way to assume r-tard. It just so happens that I have a 120GB SSD for my main drive and a 2TB drive for data. My system boots in 15 seconds and runs really fast and smooth. Why should I have to install the game on my main drive when even in the 20th century you could have a main drive and data drive. |

Not only that, but if one of your partitions goes boom, then you don't lose everything on your drive. So by having Windows on a seperate partition, you will only lose Windows and the apps that are installed, if that partition gets bad or anything.

While you're more likely to lose the entire disk, than a single partition, it does do a couple of things:
Manages fragmentation. (creates a number of divisions where fragmentation happens, rather than over the entire drive)
Stops a program from filling up your windows partition with log files. (and so on)
Far from pointless.

yes.
It uses versioned files, so new resources from sisi won't overwrite the old ones from TQ. But when they go live, you'll have a copy of them already (assuming you patch SiSi)

Program files is Microsoft encouraging laziness in coders and poor HD hygiene. Why there are core, non installable windows components in there is also questionable. It makes tracking down malware and badly behaving programs difficult such as hiding stuff in /common.
I have no objection to well defined additional folders in C: or defined categories within /program files. and would make maintaining third party machines so much easier.
M$ did try with /program files/games, but developers/publishers will be precious little snowflakes and insist on their own /EA, /Valve, /CPP folders. And this is coming from a gamedev of 25 years. /shame
Though to be honest throwing everything in /usr/bin is not much better. |

My system drive is a 250 GB SSD reserved for the OS and some select programs. The bulk of my data and games (including multiple EVE installs and a few hundred gig of other games) are all on a 2 TB hybrid drive. After today's patch, I have the shared cache for EVE on the D: drive with no issues. The movement there took... hmm, maybe 10 minutes.
The stability remains to be seen. Shrug.

Try a disk check (right click drive>properties>tools, checkbox "fix errors") will probably require a shutdown to unlock the drive, and quite a bit of time to do the check.
CRC errors can quite often be linked to drive errors, especially shutting down while a disk write is in progress, or there may be some underlying issue with the drive.
If the check comes up clear (errors will be reported during progress), I suggest poking around in the recent post in the "issues and workaround forum.
Failing that it may be best to just delete the CCP folder from program files and do a fresh installe of eve from todays installer.
Good luck, hope you get it resolved. |

sorry totally clueless here. how do you do this? simple cut the whole file and paste it to another drive or do i need to reinstall? thank you!

There's a Cog icon in the top right corner of the launcher. In those settings you can pick where the cache will reside.

Uh, moving the shared cache prompted a 7GB download, so I think the best way to move the cache is create the new folder first, copy paste the shared cache over, then start the launcher and specify the new folder's location. I'm re-downloading the game, apparently, as a result of testing this for you, so you're welcome. lol. Doesn't bother me at the moment.
iirc EVE uses a registry entry to find the shared cache, so moving it with one launcher won't break the others.

np, it was a good question. I avoided messing with shared cache for as long as possible, but now that it's live this is something I should try for future reference.
Make sure you copy paste, not cut paste the files (if you can spare the room).
It also looks like you have to go back and delete the old location manually... the launcher won't remove it. Heh, makes it easier for me to go back in this test.

With a little fiddling, I moved mine to store the directory on a few re-writable DVDs. Sure, I have to change dvds when jumping between security sectors (high, low, null, w-space), and load times are bad, but it's good to be in control of my game.

Ain't gonna happen. Not in THIS century, anyway.
It's called partitions, you might have heard of them. Also, some of us want to keep C only for the OS itself and perhaps for permanent programs.

Winchester disc, 5Mb. If someone would ever break into my house I'd use it as a frisbee and chop their head right off, those things are HEAVY.

Calm down and realize some people have small SSD's with nothing but windows on it.....
And frankly, who are you to tell him how to where to put files on his PC?
