Defrag GCF files and speed up your games

[AciD]

You now that even defragmented GCF files by windows are still fragmented?

Do you know that fragmented files are loading slower?

Here is solution for you:
A small tool witch allows you to defragment GCF files!

Instalation:
Un-rar files to your Steam main directory usually:
C:\Program Files\Steam

Step 1
If you got options like that one skip to step 2

If you don't have click Start than run and type cmd and press enter. You will see a command prompt window type:

cd C:\Program Files\Steam

Step 2
Type:

defrag_folder.cmd steamapps

Notes 1st defragment could take a very long time so be patient

Is that the same as opening Steam, clicking on games, right clicking on a game, clicking on properties, clicking on local files, and clicking on defragment cache files?

 

[AciD]

Nope Steam defragment whole gcf and that app defragment every file in gcf.

 

[Crash]

Okay, thanks man...can't beat a good defrag...

probably comes with a free steam account stealer trojan too.

Unless you have a really bad AV/Firewall combo, there's no way that app should send anything to anyone.

my AV/firewall combo is just fine thanks, but im not prepared to bet my whole steam account on it. especially not just for a virtually immeasurable performance gain. i wouldnt notice it anyway - i get an average of 220 FPS in HL2 on my system anyway - but even if i had a slow PC, it wouldnt be worth trusting my steam account to some random code to gain a couple of FPS.

I don't say you have to download its nothing to worry about.
As I can see your last account probably was stolen/disabled/hacked :S

nope, no lost accounts here. im just careful with my stuff, learn from other peoples mistakes, use common sense, and weigh things up. i know i dont have to download it. im just saying why i dont see it being a good idea for ANYONE to use something like that.

 

[liPillON]

gcfscape has this feature, too

 

[Pesmerga]

I think the only thing it speeds up is load times.

 

[Omnomnick]

Thats good too

 

[Pesmerga]

Wow, really? Sweet.

 

[Druckles]

You raised a two month old thread...

Why?

 

[Omnomnick]

Cause AciD tryed to help me with my TF2 lag problems, so I thought I'd post. Anyway, this 'fix' does nothing and is useless.

 

[AciD]

It helps for me
