See title. I haven't found an answer
Just so you know, everything is working - GZdoom g4.14.0 found the IWADs from my Steam Copies of Doom and others, but as a fan of knowing how things work I'd like to inspect what exactly are the default paths stored in environment variables $DOOMWADDIR, $HOME and $PROGDIR and if there are ways to reconfigure these variables on windows.
The environment variables are found under [IWADSearch.Directories] in the gzdoom.ini file generated by GZDoom upon launch. But I've yet to find where these variables are configured and whether it is possible to have them point to another path.
[Windows] How to setup the environment variables GZDoom uses to searchfor IWADs?

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.

They are dynamically generated from hard code.

For finding Steam/GOG games it tries to locate your database and then search games based off of that.
