  1. More ghosts than the Haunted Mansion
  2. Sim crossing is becoming more and more laggy with attachments
  3. Sim crossing when either of the coordinates is 0 or 255 = attachments stay behind, even if crossing is not diagonal (e.g. crossing on the edge of the world)
  4. No procedural water on FX 5900
  5. Cache file is not in the same directory specified for the installation (this is not a mere feature suggestion, the cache really does belong in the same directory we specify when we install SL)


(this is the part where you chime in)

You can't simply assume that the SL installation directory is writable. It's a reasonable assumption that what Windows says are the "Temp" and "Home" directories are writable -- but you can't assume that data in "Temp" will remain available between sessions.

What I'd like to know is why SL fills up my HD with useless files, then claims to have run out of memory.
Oh well, suits me for running it on a 10 yr old single-gig HD under windows 98 :)

If you are one of those people who installs everything as Administrator and then only uses them from a regular user account, it should not be any trouble for you to make a cache directory writable.

Personally I have a problem with the cache being on my C: drive because there's already a lot of stuff there. I have a giant partition on another drive, and that's where SL is installed, and that's where the cache belongs.
