Just a comment on this as warzone user. The path you indicated is fine unless the user forces with "--configdir" the path to somewhere else. I personally play warzone from USB on three different machines. Also I think many users wouldn`t like to have a folder created on their pc...in the office. -- -DD _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
