I updated GZDoom to the newest version (by overriding old folder with new version), and I no longer have my savefiles detected? The files are still in the Save folder, but I have no idea where should I put them. When I was prompted on update to change folders or something I just clicked OK and went with the default option (I didn't pick the portable thing). I'm using Windows 10 64 bit.
Where do I have to copy my SAVE folder for GZDoom to detect it?
EDIT: Wait, if I'm reading this correctly I have to downgrade back to 4.8 to be able to keep my saves? That's stupid. I have a ton of old saves, I have no idea what you mean as "until you can safely delete them". Some of my playthroughs are spread throughout months on end.
I lost all my savefiles?

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.
We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Re: I lost all my savefiles?
Okay, solved. Downgraded to 4.8, and instead of 'waiting until I can delete my savefiles' (lol) I simply installed 4.10 in a different separate folder and copied gzdoom.ini to My Documents/My Games thing. I guess I have two GZDooms now.

Re: I lost all my savefiles?
btw, you don'tneed to copy gzdoom.ini to Documents\My Games. just rename gzdoom-<yourname>.ini to "gzdoom_portable.ini" (w/o quotes).
