SSD or HDD?

[Oops01]

Quick question, would it make much of a difference overall to the game play to install the game to my solid state drive or leave it on my hdd, what would the difference be if any would it just make it load a little quicker ?

Just load quicker

@The GT Formula thanks m8, I've just realised that it loads via steam so I'd probably have to run steam from the SSD and I've far to many games to do that

You can have multiple libraries in Steam; Steam menu - settings - downloads ( don't ask me why it's not under Library! ) - Steam Library Folders, create a new one on your SSD & move the ACC install there; right-click game in the library, properties, local files, "Move install folder", Steam just stays where it is. I have literally nothing where my Steam client is installed.

It would just load quicker. And ACC is a well-behaved loader on conventional HDs. You don't have to bother if you are just concerned about gameplay.

AC and even ACC load and run quite quickly from a good, fast conventional hard drive.
Just put your Windows OS install on an SSD and optimize it.
That's exactly how I run it and it is smooth as silk.
If you do put the game on an SSD, you can create symbolic links to things like replays, car and track folders.
