[2021] Relocate TM Cache ?

I will do so if I don't find an official way to move the TM cache but it doesn't make much sens to lock it's location.
There should be a way to move it even if hidden. Few code lines somewhere to change maybe ?

Any other suggestions please ?

Some help from Nadeo devs or Ubisoft maybe ?

Would be much appreciated.

I've paid fully for the game to support its growth. Some tech support seems fair.

Hello Markoz42,

Can you please confirm what cache it is you're looking to relocate?

Is it the various files that default to; Documents\Trackmania or the Installer Cache?

Installer cache / default install locations can be changed by opening the Settings within the Ubisoft Connect client.

There isn't a current official in-game / in-client method of relocating the content from Documents\Trackmania without potentially receiving file location errors when then trying to start the game.

Sorry for any inconvenience if it is the former you're aiming to do

Same goes for my system, installed on a specific SSD which is small but particularly fast.

Everything works fine until once in a while my system disk is saturated by cached files from TM (maps, skins, videos, etc..)
.

TM is actually the only game I've played that asks you where to install and then imposes that the game cache location be in documents (disk system).
There should be an option to decide this. Even though my problem is rare, it doesn't make sens to pollute the system disk with data if there are other options at hand.

I can obviously clean the cache manually once in a while or block any TM downloads and partially enjoy the game but why?


Any Unofficial solutions for me to relocate the cache other than a link trick?


Might be something to add to the long to do list to improve TM..

Hey Markoz42,

Thanks for getting back - sorry to have been the bearer of bad news.

I'm afraid we can't advise on any unofficial routes or methods, these at to be tried at a player's own risk and discretion.

I will however pass on your feedback and requests for further accessible file location features to the team as something for them to consider

Thank you!

No problem Cracrabaf thank you for your suggestion, I will move this post to our feedback section of the forum for our devs to be able to see, thank you.
