Improve initial load times with this one weird trick!
« on: May 02, 2019, 04:51:28 PM »

LOADING SCREENS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!

Code: [Select]
for /R %%f in (*.*) do type "%%f" > NUL
This line will tell windows to read each file in whatever folder it's run from.
So for example, if you create a .bat in the root of your BAT install folder with the following:

Code: [Select]
cd #WAW3
for /R %%f in (*.*) do type "%%f" > NUL
cd..
il2fb.exe

This will open up a command prompt and will scan through all the files in the #WAW3 folder and once done will start up IL-2.
This takes a little bit longer than just double clicking il2fb.exe but you can more easily do something else while it scans through the files in the background and when IL-2 does start up you only have to look at the loading screen for a fraction of the time that you would if you just cold boot the game normally.
