GZDoom .ini being weird

Post by SSGAddict »

No clue why but whenever I change any settings in GZDoom it updates the ini file as long as its in the automatically made folder called "GZDoom" within another folder called "My games" in the documents folder and if it isn't GZDoom makes a new ini and these folders again. Why does it do that? how can I tell it to search for the file withing GZD's own directory where i want it?

That's how modern apps are expected to handle their configs.
If you want it in your app folder, rename it to 'gzdoom_portable.ini'.
