alcoolj Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I had to reformat my home computer the other day, which of course deleted all remnants of RS. It will take weeks of downloading (yes I have old school dial up) to get my cache back up to scratch Sooooooo.... Can I do the following? I can access RS from work! My cache there is 73Mb, and looks healthy enough. Can I copy this and take it home and be all good? A potential problem maybe this though - work puter = Xp, home = 98Se! Any and all help appreciated - just don't mention getting a new puter k, it is in the pipeline! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 You could try it but I don't think it will work. It wouldn't mess anything up because you can just delete the folder is you have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Servo Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I thought I read somewhere on another thread that you could do this to transfer settings or something and it does work. Could be remembering wrong though. At any rate it can't hurt. If it doesn't work then it doesn't work and you can just delete it and I don't think the different OS versions would be an issue as long as the file format is the same, and I think they are. I've transfered saved game data and other stuff from '95 to XP and it worked. I say go for it, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I don't see why not. I did it recently on my laptop when I wanted to reinstall Firefox, and it works just fine.

urbestfreind Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Why not just try it instead of making a post about? Now imagine if everyone with a question on T&C followed that advice... It doesn't hurt to be cautious, especially working with Windows. [hide=Funny Quotes]So you sucker punched a kid in the back of the head?

alcoolj Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Why not just try it instead of making a post about? Add that if any additional info was required for me to get from my work computer, then it would be nice to know BEFORE I take it all home! Anyway - here is what happens: I copy all the cache files into the 98SE system folder (which is where the RS cache stuff was, and when RS laods up it creates a new Cache directory under c:\ and ignores my new huge cache I have just installed! Looks like I just have to dl 80mb of cache file over the next few days. It makes playing RS unbearable though, as I dc each time I enter a new area. I may just have to make some bowstrings or something for a while :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jard_Y_Dooku Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Just put the old cache files into the directory it created. Different Windows OS's use different directories for the cache, I believe, but the contents of the files are the same so this should work fine. Never trust anyone. You are always alone, and betrayal is inevitable.Nothing is safe from the jaws of the decompiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
