Gameplay Help and Discussion - How to move POE Shader Cache folder location. (Steam) - Forum

I'm playing POE through Steam. The folder with the shader caches and Loot Filters and all is on a different drive that the one POE is installed on. I want them on the same drive (SSD). Does anyone know how to do this? There's an old Reddit post that shows a button in Options to do this, but I don't have that button-perhaps due to playing through Steam rather than the standalone client, or maybe it was removed. Anyone? Thanks in advance. Last edited by awave on Feb 12, 2022, 11:45:10 AM Last bumped on Sep 27, 2024, 9:26:10 PM	Posted by awave on Feb 12, 2022, 11:44:12 AM Quote this Post
I am not playing steam but it is probably the same, just found it myself for the same reason and tested, cache is moved: 1) find production_Config.ini (C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\production_Config.ini) 2) add cache_directory=E:\newpathtocache\ under [GENERAL] " If the Shaders bar alerts you about shader loading/saving being critically slow, consider changing what the drive that shader cache is stored on to a faster one. In the [GENERAL] section of the settings file, you can set cache_directory=x:\path\to\preferred\location to a folder on a faster drive. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3144901/page/1 Last edited by Mmmoooz on Mar 19, 2022, 9:48:58 PM	Posted by Mmmoooz on Mar 19, 2022, 9:47:54 PM Quote this Post
