How to properly set up Arma RAMdisk - What files go in?

[Nightmare_Pwner 2]

Ok so just putting the DayZ folder in is pointless. I have 12 GB of space on my RAMdisk.

What files should go into the RAMdisk to make it most effective?

Im guessing the entire Operation Arrowhead folder that has DayZ in it also, but all of the textures and Chern map objects are located in the Arma 2 folder.

So how can I make this work?

I am also using Six launcher/updater by the way so that needs to come into play as well.

Not sure about six updater compatibility, but using Windows 7 I did the following:

1. Set up Ram Disk (~9GB is required, mine is mapped to R:\)

2. Create new folder on the Ram Disk called OAAddOns

3. Copy the contents from your OA\AddOns folder to the above

4. Create new folder on the Ram Disk called DayzAddOns

5. Copy contents from your @dayz\AddOns folder to the above

6. Rename the original "AddOns" folders above to "AddOnsBackup"

7. Open a command prompt

8. Navigate to the OA folder (the actual OA folder)

9. mklink /d AddOns R:\OAAddOns

10. Navigate to the @dayz folder

11. mklink /d AddOns R:\DayzAddOns

Seems to work for me, with no short cut changes required.

LEt me try this right now. Ok so Steps 9 and 11 I assume I am typing into the command prompt. Where am I launching the game after from than? Six launcher or what?

If you use mklink, you won't need to change anything else for gamestart from what I see.

But if you do updates, you should change the names from the symlink and the original folder, because otherwise, the Updates would stay on the Ramdisk - which is clean after reboot.

And after an update you would have to update the data on ramdisk too and change the symlinks name again
