When you are finished playing, unload it - it's very fast (because there usually isn't much data changed while playing). To use it in future, just load the ramdisk (takes some time) and start the game from the ramdisk. Following - copy the game on the ramdisk - unload it and wait until it's saved in the image. After loading it, format it to a 'ntfs' filesystem in windows explorer. You should size it accordingly - so its large enough for Path of Exile (like 6 gb).Īfter that, create a new ramdisk and set it to be saved in the image file every time it's unloaded (you do not need the additional 'save every x seconds' option). I am also using Softperfect ramdisk - works like a charm.Ĭreate an raw image file (with Softperfect) at the location you want to save your Path of Exile install first (label it somthing like 'poeramdisk'). The advantage of doing it my way, is that you can have *any* or if you're absolutely crazy, all of your non-microsoft programs in ram.

I've been using softperfect for my firefox cache, and firefox profile for a long time now.

You can have essentially unlimited programs in ramdisk, by loading and unloading images as your heart feels like it.Īlso, this ramdisk, and dataram ramdisk are actually *slower* than softperfect ramdisk. Whenever you want to run a file from that ramdisk, you open softperfect, tell it to load whatever image file you want, and then run your shortcut. You can install stuff to the ramdisk, then unmount the image. It saves anything in the image, forever, so you don't need copy tools. Softperfect ramdisk can load images without weird external tools, and it's faster, and it supports differential image writeback, so if an update occurs, or a file is changed, it's taken care of immediately, without excessive disk writes. This is *way* more convoluted than necessary
