+Multiuser Support on Windows systems
+ On Windows, all user specific files such as autogenerated configuration,
+ demos, videos, screenshots, and autodownloaded pk3s are now saved in a
+ directory specific to the user who is running ioquake3.
+
+ On NT-based such as Windows XP, this is usually a directory named:
"C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Quake3\"
+ Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME will use a directory like:
+ "C:\Windows\Application Data\Quake3"
+ in single-user mode, or:
+ "C:\Windows\Profiles\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Quake3"
+ if multiple logins have been enabled.
+
In order to access this directory more easily, the installer may create a
Shortcut which has its target set to:
"%APPDATA%\Quake3\"
- Such a link would work for all users and would work on non-English versions
- of Windows.
+ This Shortcut would work for all users on the system regardless of the
+ locale settings. Unfortunately, this environment variable is only
+ present on Windows NT based systems.
You can revert to the old single-user behaviour by setting the fs_homepath
cvar to the directory where ioquake3 is installed. For example:
