GZdoom Deleting my Save Games and Config

Post by Bigbad75 »

I was playing Doom earier and when I died I got sent back to the start of the level. I opened my save menu and saw that my Save file was deleted. I decided to restart my game and when I did all my settings were reverted back to the default.

The problem is that GZdoom is forcing itself to store my saves and config in the C: Drive, this is what's causing the problem as I have very little room on my C: drive. Is there an option to make it so that I can save this data in the D: drive instead.

It is possible to switch GZDoom into portable mode. You need to put an empty gzdoom_portable.ini file into GZDoom directory: https://zdoom.org/wiki/Configuration_file

If you have such space problems on drive C, how does your computer still work? There's other software writing a lot more data to the user folder.
