What's your problem, I suggested what I'm doing, and this is the development section, which I assumed would be accustomed to this, such suggestions are normal and are almost always on take-it-or-leave-it and at-your-own-risk basis unless there's some heavily different rules around here.
I may have not indicated that it was only what I am doing and not a user recommendation, I will do that next time better. But being barred from posting just because it's not user safe is not radical too?
But okay if Dolphin does this already, great, it just means it's not necessary to use that workaround, so what's the big deal.
That said, I've never seen anyone blow up over a batch script like this, have you ever opened regedit.exe for starters?The first WinXP PC I got 15 years ago it didn't take a few months before I messed up permissions in windows registry, after a reboot the system was unusable, I called a friend who started laughing and then brought Knoppix Linux Live CD, used that to backup all the data, and reinstall WinXP, big deal. Is it worth losing more nerves over a batch script?
I'm done talking about that, continuing, you said why I don't open a PR about this, but then you recalled me Dolphin does this already through UIDs (I knew before but forgot) now that changed, well, since I don't know anything about that, that's also the reason I didn't say anything about dolphin in that post. Moreover, dolphin trying to go out of it's scope and clean up the global cache probably wouldn't be accepted in the PR if it was made, the whole point of a forum is to negotiate before PRs like that even get submitted.
Infact I do not want to be in the way of the proper solution, I didn't research the Dolphin's cache stuff that deeply, so I don't want to be that specific on what the solution should be.
Dude, I have been in IT (service desk, training and management) for over 15 years professionally and 25+ years as a hobby. (since 1989)
The Windows XP story you added is exactly the reason why you should refrain from posting these kinds of radical and outrageous solutions. Users without technical knowledge will usually break more than they are able to fix with it. And believe me when I say: non-technical users will find this and try this.
Please read up how the global shader caches works...
Here I'll tell you a secret: it gets overwritten every time you start a different application. This is true for AMD, Intel and nVidia.
