[Guide] How to make your diablo 3 folder take only <700 MB.

I am sharing this trick cause you can save up some money building rig and when buying ssd you can buy 32/64 gb instead of 128/256. I doubt it many people use it here cause its not really popular command and the whole idea of it is pretty complicated (at first) and rare. :)
Also I want to give something nice to the community!
I've made quick guide how to make your diablo 3 folder take only 700-2200mb on your disc.

Warning!
  • only tested with YAR (yet another relogger)
  • does not work with CMD command and -launch
  • probably works with any other relogger
So you will only be able to run d3 from a relogger.

Ok first of all I suggest you to get Notepad ++ and you will do it in 1 sec.
Make new file (notepad ++), copy this:
Code:
mkdir "C:\Diablo7" 
mkdir "C:\Diablo7\Data_D3" 
mkdir "C:\Diablo7\Data_D3\PC" 
mkdir "C:\Diablo7\Data_D3\PC\MPQs" 
copy "C:\Diablo1\Data_D3\PC\MPQs\Cache"  "C:\Diablo7\Data_D3\PC\MPQs\Cache"
mklink "C:\Diablo7\Data_D3\PC\MPQs\ClientData.mpq" "C:\Diablo1\Data_D3\PC\MPQs\ClientData.mpq"

Change Diablo7 to name of your d3 folder. Diablo1 is our 12gb + folder which does exist.

Save this file as X.bat where X is random name you want to create.
Right click this bat file and run as administrator, it will make virtualized shortcut/copy of you original d3 folder.
When you do that, go to:
Code:
C:\Diablo1\Data_D3\PC\MPQs\Cache\base
And copy all the files and paste it into same directory but in your new virtualized folder (this is only because i couldn't make my trick done without it and I was figuring it out for a while.)

ps.
First load will take a while, cause its probably making some files and stuff like that.
If you've found any bugs in my guide or you want to share some info, please let me know!

If you enjoyed my quick guide and your saved money, then you can buy me a drink.
Share this guide and lets save tons of MBs and have fun botting :)

Awesome :) ill try it out when i get the time. And buy you that beer if it works. Cheers mate
 
Why not use APOC's D3 loader? It works with YAR and you only need 1 install of D3 :)

When patch is updated apoc starter needs an update (in most cases). With this method you don't need to wait.
I dont use apoc for a long time I like to be independent. :)
time = money
I know you guys have apoc. I just wanted to share my trick :D
Cheers.
 
The cache folder is 3GB with the current patch, so definitely not as economical as advertised. Otherwise, thank you for this.

lol -- the guy just decreased your folder size by 3/4. Regardless of if it's more than you expected, he allowed you to make 4 folders for the price of one and let you just copy paste all of the information.
 
i hate to be this guy but, even though the folder size is <700 mb the size on disk is still 8+gb which is what matters when it comes to hard drive space.

And I said thank you, so I don't see what the problem is.
 
Really great contribution, jodum!

I get this error: "Diablo III was unable to initialize a streaming connection, which is required ..."

Anyone else has this problem?
 
is it safe to use this trick provided to run 2 instance botting, rather Copy the hold directory of D3?
 
im not recommend to use this setup like in first port because of bans

only full 14 gb folder
