.dll

[Rodrico Stak]

What do the rapidly multiplying .dll files in my ME2 directory do? Can I delete them?

[J@mes]

they are support files for the game what they do is: rather than all the coding being built into the program the game uses a particular .dll file that with a simple call can perform the operation for it saves loads of programming time. if you delete them you may get loads of errors messages.

Good thing I decided to post this before deleting them (I have to conserve disk space!)! Do you know why they multiply?

[J@mes]

are they copys ie files.dll files.dll(1) etc...

[Rodrico Stak]

No, they all have different names. I find it quite puzzling.

[J@mes]

have you unpacked the game? if so this may be why.

I have (though I un-unpacked it later), so that must be it. Thanks for your help, I'd +rep you for it, but I can't give rep for another 3 or 4 days.
