    I've made a simple batch file to delete the contents of the shadercache folder. Plop it on your desktop and run it before playing CXL.

    This is the contents of it.
    Code:
    @echo off

echo Y | del "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Focus Home Interactive\Cities XL 2012\live\shadercache" . > nul
    There's probably other ways to code it but I'm happy with it.

    What is the purpose of this? Does it lower crash possibility? Or fix something? Or else..?

    It gets rid of the D3DX errors crashing the game... You have to empty that shader cache folder every time before starting the game.

    nice one skullz
    you could also do this as a cxl-shortcut + deleting the shadercache, means adding a start command for cxl to your batch file
    so you only need one click for everything and can play cxl :)

    for example
    Code:
    @echo off

echo Y | del "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Focus Home Interactive\Cities XL 2012\live\shadercache" . > nul

start "CitiesXL_2012" "D:\Users\blablabla\Desktop\Games\Cities XL 2012.lnk"
    (im using the shortcut cause i have problems to add the correct localizations to the batch file but effect is the same, so :p)

    I did think of that but it was getting late and my brain was running out of steam.

    Saves you having to manually delete the cache yourself. Its good to clear out the shadercache to help stop some of the errors.

    Good initiative, Skull. Thanks for this helpfull file.

    It could be in the XLEX but there is no category for this kind of file.

    Tutorials seems the best category with a explanation of why.

    That's seems a good place for it. I'll do it later as I'm about to head out.
