Title: Turbine LOTRO Dat File Defragmentation Tool
Post by: Mrbloodworth on August 03, 2010, 06:12:49 AM
Because it works wonders on older installs. (http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?t=316502)

Thanks to a couple team members, we're making a public a command line tool to be able to address the internal dat file fragmentation (vs. external fragmentation which regular disk defragmenters address).

What this will do for you?

- Speed up game loads
- Speed up teleports
- Reduce hitching (not all hitching.... just load related hitches)

Granted if you were on an SSD or flash drive, the improvement will not be nearly as big as compared to the majority of folk still on mechanical disks.

Too late.  I ran it already.  You had your chance.

Good results?

Made my install quite a bit more speedy, from launch (I copied the entire thing over when I reinstalled).
