Cache file not in right place.

[jnhoward]

Hi,
Every post I've seen says to clear 'cache' go to, C:\Users\user\AppData\LocalLow\DeepWaterStudio\UBoat\Cache.
Before this I disabled all MODs, and delete all game saves from in-game save menu.
But I only get to C:\Users\User then no sign of 'AppData'. I've also tried in F:\ where the game is installed, with the same result.
So instead I have been going to,
F:\Steam\SteamApps\Common\UBoat\UBoatData\Cache. Here I get a long list of DTX & Spectrum files, then delete them all. Then from Steam library page I 'Validate game files' again, which gives me 137 files to re validate. Which has not caused any problems yet.
Dose This 'F:\Steam' route take me to the right 'cache files'. ?
And I read that the easy way to delete all game saves is to go to. Steam\SteamApps\Workshop\Content\494840. My question with that is, dose the '494840' file only contain UBoat data. ? I was just a bit worried it may take out saves from other games.

For the appdata folder just write

%appdata%

into the path bar of the explorer and hit enter. From there you can navigate to the correct folder. Appdata is by default hidden so you have to do it via the path variable.

Also the game saves are in the same appdata sub path. The files you mentioned in the steam installation folder are actually the mod files of all the mods you have (or even ever had) installed. If you delete all these you'll force the game to load all the files from the Internet again.

Thanks for the response.
I tried that, but only one step closer.
I cant find any file for 'DeepWaterStudio' (or LocalLow), not with 'File Explorer' anyway. But the game is still working OK.

It's all there, my dude.

You're going to be hard pressed to find someone willing to walk you through the basics of navigating the Windows filesystem...

%appdata%\..\locallow

When you enter %appdata% you're directed to .../appdata/roaming so you need to go up one level in the hierarchy first to see the 'locallow' folder.

Copy/pasting that path will take him directly there as well.

%appdata%\..\locallow\Deep Water Studio

Yeah it takes me to 'roaming' ok but from there, no sign of any \locallow\ or \deepWaterStudio\.
Even if I 'run' ether one, it tells me 'Windows can't find the file/s'.
Or just searching my files.
my ONLY route I can find to the game files is the \SteamApps\ route.

Just me then.
Looking like an install problem maybe.
Looks like a "re install".
Thanks Anyway.

As I said you have to go up to the parent folder. The local low is directly in AppData next to roaming.

Just use the link from Wrath of the north to directly get there.

%appdata%/../locallow

Copy/paste that to the path bar with all % and points and whatever. If there isn't a folder called 'Deep Water Studio' in there something is wrong with your installation anyways.

OK, I don't know why it wouldn't let me through the front door (user), but got there in the end.
Thanks for showing me where the side gate is.
Cheers.
