How do I set the Pagefile of the Cities Skylines to operate on another disk?

[mggamesw]

Hello,

Since my C drive does not have enough space to run the pagefile (or cache, I don't kinow the exact name) (approx. 12 GB goes to the operating system (Win10) and I have only 16 GB memory, the grame crashes after a while.
Earlier the pagefile was on the D drive (CS had been installed there, then when I got a new SSD (G drive) I exported there.

The thing I want is to do is to make sure that the pagefile operates on the G drive. That drive has more than enough space for that file, so my game will not crash. How do I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Erhm.. your page file must be located where you Windows system is installed.. anywhere else it won't have any effect.
If your Windows drive is full consider to relocate certain folders to other hard drives on your computer.
I relocated my entire Pictures, Music and Document folder to another hard drive.

Here's a few guides to set it up. Just make sure to remove the automatic pagefile on C: so Windows doesn't try using that and instead uses the large one you set up on another drive.

I did this for years without problems, though that was while I was still on Windows 7, so I can't comment on whether Windows 10 is more fussy or not.

Many thanks for your help. :)
I wil try to look for the page file. I might export some unnecessary folders to the G drive. Or to an extended hardware. Currently my system drive has 33 GB size, but for CS it is not sufficient.

Many thanks, I am going to check that link. Too bad that the newer version has another version of the System window. I prefer the older one.
I am going to set a new pagefile in the G drive.

There is even one on the guide section :)

Thank you very much. :) I am going to read that post. The pagefile helped me a lot. Minimum size: 12 Gb. Max: 22 GB.
Not only the game crashes no more, but it loads faster somehow.

It is better to set both minimum and maximum values at 32GB so as to avoid Windows from switching from a higher to a lower Pagefile size.
