What does the map_cache? - ClaryXII - 08-12-2015
What is it doing? Why it fckes my maps up and why it keeps comming back when I delete it?
RE: What does the map_cache? - FlawlessHappiness - 08-12-2015
It's use is to decrease loading times between maps.
Which means it's for finished maps, and not the undergoing production of maps.
If I remember correctly you can disable ForceCacheLoading if you follow the guide on Setting up the Development Environment.

If I remember correctly, I have experienced getting generated .map_cache files even with ForceCacheLoading toggled. I suspect that, despite it, it will generate the files but not use them, because I've had no cache issues regardless. Either that or I'm derping.

So I have to keep deleting them untill Im finished?

If it won't use it, you won't have to delete it. Just don't mind them.
