Copying Patch Files to new HDD (SSD)

[milranduil]

I'm about to install PSO2 on a new SSD since my current HDD is 8 years and about to start smoking I was curious if people know whether or not using something like this would be able to easily move the patch folders from the old to the new drive (HDD is still working, but is starting to intermittently make the dreaded "clicking" noise). I'd prefer to not re-download 24.5GB of patch files if possible!

disclaimer: I know this thread probably doesn't belong here. Rather get a few replies before it gets moved where no one will ever respond.

If you don't need to mirror the entire HDD, you can just copy and paste the entire PSO2 folder into the SSD.

Turns out I'm patching much faster than I thought I would (helps that my ISP isn't blocked atm, so don't need to use AWS for this).

PSO2 SSD fact
[x] faster patch
[ ] faster game
[x] faster lobby load
[ ] faster stage load
[ ] faster TA

wwww, maybe asked other ppl before buy
can just copy PSO2 folder hdd > sdd (common sense )

Oh so I should keep running PSO2 on my 8 year old HDD that is crapping out? Thanks I'll keep that in mind

At what point was it said it was only for PSO2? Besides, if it improves what it can, I dont see the issue with getting it. Man, at least people like Sonata and HnS are kind of entertaining... I just feel disappointed reading your post...

I dunno. Many of their post that I've read go above and beyond HnS-stupid... or maybe this is their account for those kind of post. I don't know if I want to acknowledge that they're HnS because HnS is my waifu and I don't want my waifu to be THAT stupid.

I sometimes use TeraCopy for copying/moving lots of files.

I remember that. That was great.

You can just copy them over. PSO2 will make all the necessary stuff when it launches.

A SDD will improve patching time, load time, and all around performance because the game constantly reads from the hard drive.



If you're using the Tweaker, you've never needed a proxy for it.

SSD doesn't improve PSO2's in game performance. Meaning your load times while in game (for example in TA runs) wont improve much at all. I have a samsung 840 250gig evo and 2 crucial MX200's a 250gig and a 500gig (for steam games) i've tested pso2 load time performance (in game not patching or anything outside the game itself) and there's like maybe? 1 second faster of load times compared to my WD Black caviar 1TB HDD?

You know what improves load times? High FPS a good cpu and gpu =P
