Well, I suggest you run warzone with --debug wz
Then it should show you the write dir in stdout.txt. (File will be at same location as warzone2100.exe)

(just run the game, then quit out)

If you still can't find it, then post the stdout.txt file here.

I have tired what you said, Warzone dident even start up but this appeared in the location of warzone2100.exe

Remove the dot between "dubug" and "wz", like this:

Code: Select all

--debug wz

The stdout.txt (or stderr.txt) should be in the same directory where the warzone2100.exe is.

Try --debug all

I have noticed that in beta 4 for Windows XP save games and all that stuff is in a directory at the bottom of a pretty complicated directory structure, in 2.0.10 they used to be in My Documents\Warzone 2100, but now they are in (x):\Documents and Settings\(username)\Local settings\Application Data\Warzone 2100 2.1\
... and both Local Settings and Application Data are hidden folders, and yeah, "Local Settings" is my translation of the swedish name of the folder, since I'm using a swedish version of XP, I'm not entirely sure that is what it's called in english versions.

Pesky, isn't it?

Anyway, I use --configdir path/dir_name and that is what it uses. (just make sure that path/dir_name it exists first!) [Example: c:\blah would be --configdir c:\blah]
I don't like MS's scheme, which is what we were using before.
