    Is there a clean way to force the installation to other than the "C" drive? I have an SSD and want to keep the write activity there to a minimum.

    I have not come up with anything after extensive looking (and by extensive looking, I mean reading through the plaintext readable code for the client and for the .exe looking for something referencing the storage location of the client folder). There is also nothing in the Java control panel that impacts this.

    The one good idea I've seen was in regards to changing the name of the client folder instead of deleting it when you are troubleshooting as this allows you to conserve some of your read/write passes. Then, once you've amassed enough to be significant, you can always just delete them all in one go as opposed to constantly rewriting the same sectors over and over.

    I just installed it to C: as you're forced to, then cut&paste the folder to my SSHD drive.

    Launched .exe and logged in.

    Ok this is how I do it for my program environment.

    Create a folder on you D: and name it DSO.

    Now in a cmd prompt type subst J: D:\DSO

    Now move all the files from your drakensang online folder to the dso folder. the drakensang folder needs to be empty.

    Next run diskpart and select drive j and point it to the drakensang online folder. Now that folder will be not on the SSD.
