MWLL on an SSD

[=CJW= Rajveer]

Is it possible to install Crysis Wars on a second HDD, and MWLL on an SSD, creating a symbolic link from the Crysis Wars mod folder to the location of MWLL on the SSD? Will it mess the auto updater up or anything?

Does MWLL reference any files from the original Crysis Wars folder during actual gameplay? If it does I'll just install Wars to the SSD too to keep the speed.

Install wars to ssd. Then install mwll to the wars directory. Simple as that.

Im trying to avoid that if possible as I want to keep as little on my SSD, I'll be using it for quite a lot as it is

Since MWLL uses a lot of Crysis Wars files, cuz you know its a mod for it, you want to have it on the same drive if you want that SSD boost

The symbolic link should probably work fine, however, as Capper mentioned, you should really leave the whole game on the SSD. Off-load something else from the SSD .

Cool, cheers guys, I was just wondering if MWLL referenced any files it needed from vanilla Wars on initial load and only MWLL-related files during actual gameplay (like level loading or streaming textures and stuff). I'll install it all on the SSD.

Trust me, this isn't as stupid as it sounds when you've got a 60GB SSD and need as much space for different development environment virtual machines, every GB counts!

Yeah I know, a friend of mine struggles with it as well, primarily because she wanted to keep WoW on the SSD as well. But WoW is insanely huge nowadays and she contemplated just keeping the most important files of WoW on the SSD which are used frequently and during loading.

That's the beauty of Z68 caching, you don't have to agonize over what to put on the SSD. Highly recommended

You can install wars on one Partition / Harddrive and mwll on a completely other one and make a symbolic link using the windows command line command that became avaiable with Vista / 7.
Thats what we did while we supported both wars and crysis. I had the same mwll directory linked into both the wars and the crysis install. Works just fine.

nice, learned something new   I'm still running everything on one drive, but at some point in the future I wanted to build a central NAS to store my media files for sharing. So this is really awesome for me .

I use "Steam Mover" to add junctions for any games I want to add to my OS SSD.

Works quite well.

Only use the SSD for for OS and other programs, store anything else on a regular HDD

But loading levels in 6 seconds instead of 14 is such a boost to the epeen

by "store anything else", I mean things not associated with the programs.

MWLL and Crysis on SSD are a disappointment.
The loading time from "Launch MWLL" to the Samurai Logo has not changed.
The loading time for maps has gone down about 50%.
The gameplay is not fastened up by the SSD.

If i'd install Crysis and MWLL again, i'd install in on the HDD and not on the SSD.
