Also note, that the maps really should be in the maps folder of your config dir.
If you don't know what your config dir is, then start the game with --debug all added to the shorcut, and it will spit out "wz : [initialize_ConfigDir] Write dir: whatever_it_is"
That is your config dir.

"c:\whatever the path is\warzone2100.exe"
change it to :
"c:\whatever the path is\warzone2100.exe" --debug all

Then it will make stderr.txt and or stdout.txt in "c:\whatever the path is\"

Then you just read the .txt file, and you got your answer.

No, you also need to make sure "Start In" is "c:\whatever the path is\".

Why would you modify the 'Start in' entry?

When you make a new shortcut, it fills that in for you...which is why only the 'Target' needs to be modified.

You mean you host a game with a new map, and the person who connects don't have the map?

It will auto download it.

**NOTE** the maps *REALLY* should go in your config write directory, in the folder called maps.
The config directory is the only one where wz has write access to. If you don't have maps there, then don't blame me if it crashes.
