Install Folders

[mexenlives]

Hey all!

Currently I am running my main account on one install folder with the remaining 5 in a separate install folder. This has been working well.

In my future escapades, I wish to run two groups (12 total clients). Should I make say 2 toons/install folder or individual? This part has always confused me because I don't quite understand what all gets read/wrote to the hardrive while playing.

My hardware consists of a M.2 256g drive and that is it. I will be adding another drive soon. Samsung 850 EVO SSD.

Would it be prudent to move some or even all to that HD?

As always, any/all input is very much appreciated.

Unfortunately I can't help you with your question, but I was curious did you find two seperate installs worked better then running multiple clients from same install ? I've got the HD space, but when I've tried to play from windows just always seemed so slow.

I have two install folders - one I run 2 chars out of (my tank and my mage) that folder has more graphics options set, the other folder I have a minimum effects/models ini set up for my other chars. If all are run from one directory you have to use the same graphical settings for them all. My minimum load INI uses far less memory so when I'm playing 16/18 or 22/24 use as much memory as the other 2.

[rakshir]

Interesting, I may try that and see how it goes.

I'm running the same setup as Nilbus. It works great, I'm just curious as to if it will remain stable adding more running clients to the install folder.

I've run 22 from the one folder (minimal graphics) and been fine.

Good to know. I'm still tweaking my secondary windows. Could I ask what resolutions you run them in? Do you use boxing software like WinEQ?

I'm just starting to get comfy boxing 6, adding 6 more will be a challenge and I would like to make it as easy as I can!

I do use WinEQ2 and below in the code block is my eqclient and globalload
