Now, I consider myself a reasonable man. I am quite willing to accept the odd out-of-the-blue system freeze, and games sometimes dropping below a reasonable framerate because of my conservative tastes in graphics card. (TNT1) But to say I am fed up of Unreal constantly grinding away at the hard disk, regardless of the fact that I have 64MB of memory and I've set the Unreal cache to 56MB, and that I always close any programs that could be gobbling up the gigabytes (metaphorically speaking) before starting would be understatement in the extreme. I am so pissed-off with it that I am this *holds fingers less than a millimetre apart* close to conducting an experiment to see how many pieces I can smash my Unreal CD into. And yes, I do have all the updates, including the v2.25 update. Is there anything you can tell me to do to save the little plastic one, which is shaking in terror and praying as we speak?
