Caching in 1.52

[The Great Apple]

Just in case anybody hadn't noticed there are two new lines in the .ini file to do with caching:

; Disable caching of file system (may slow initialization)
DisableFileCaching = 0

; Disable caching of xml and file system (may slow initialization)
DisableCaching = 0

Now, I'm pretty sure it will mostly work as normal - but if anybody can't be bothered to hold down shift everytime they load changes it may be a good idea to flick these little guys to 1.

Well, some of us didn't know we had to hold down shift. Python changes seem to happen every time you alt-tab back in to the game but I always thought you hat to restart to get XML changes to work.

You do. Sometimes the changes don't work, as the cached xml files don't neccessarily get updated - so you need to clear the cache.

I had not heard anything about this yet, and I was hoping that they fixed the cache issue and that we therefore didn't have to shut it down anymore. I suppose one could assume they hadn't fixed it, when you consider that they bothered to add that to the ini.
