DDU version V18.0.9.2 : DX Cache

[Parisien_entraide]

Hello,

I read : Nvidia : remove "DxCache" folder from the "systemprofile" LocalLow folder.

Any relation ? with ; https://github.com/Aetopia/NVIDIA-Shader-Cache-Explorer

For information
https://github.com/Aetopia/NVIDIA-Shade ... r/issues/4

(NVIDIA 57X.X+ driver shader cache format is not supported)

Not really, they are mostly talking about a change in the file name extension. Me is that there is also a new location I found where the DxCache folder is created.
But the old location are still valid.
Thanks

This program is very interesting

I discussed the subject on another forum and indeed BEFORE we had

Code: Select all

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\NVIDIA

Now it is (Since NVIDIA 545.xx) I guess this is what you use

Code: Select all

%USERPROFILE%\Appdata\LocalLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion

Microsoft's CleanMGR always goes to the old folder

I will not spam by giving the link, but by automatic translation of certain paragraphs

-----------------------
Usage scenario: When you have for example a crash with the compilation of shaders (during their construction) it would be wise to clean all unfinished shaders (obviously their location is different depending on the game) AND all the remains of Nvidia

Same during a driver update including GeForceExperience, or changes to game settings involving shaders
In fact, cleaning should ALSO be done during major NVIDIA driver updates

Some cache elements remain, from previous drivers and are NOT cleaned by installing a new version of the drivers
This can cause problems following major updates e.g. Nvidia drivers and we can have crashes of games or applications

Yeah, here is the location new location that DDU is aware of on top of the one you mentioned that was already supported:

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA

Also there is this :

Code: Select all

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\{applications}\{{"\AC\Temp\NVIDIA Corporation", "\AC\NVIDIA", "\LocalCache\Local\NVIDIA"}}

There can be a nv_cache or dx_cache in theses. At least there was in the past, but I think it may not be in use anymore.

the last one is for the MS store apps.

Thanks for this addition

Code: Select all

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\{applications}\{{"\AC\Temp\NVIDIA Corporation", "\AC\NVIDIA", "\LocalCache\Local\NVIDIA"}}

This is where we see that we must always follow the developments and.. It is not obvious
