The reason is, I created a folder E:\Games\UrbanTerro42, put the updater from the ZIP into it, ran it, done.

I started the game, configured everything for me and as usual I see the files q3ut4/q3config.cfg , etc.; and I also saw q3ut4/authkey and so on.

I'm on Windows 7 x64 and I don't have Administrator privileges and UAC is enabled (i.e. whenever a system setting gets changed, system asks me for confirmation).

However in http://www.urbanterr...post__p__331655 , it is suggested that such files reside within ...\AppData\Roaming\Quake3\ .

How does the system choose where to put those files? Is it all in E:\Games\UrbanTerro42 on my system because this drive and all directories are completely writable to (in contrast to C:\Program Files\ and alike)?

thanks

cvars, i have a shortcut on my desktop that sets fs_homepath and fs_basepath to the install directory as i dont need to use AppData folder.

D:\Games\UrbanTerror42\Quake3-UrT.exe +set fs_home "D:\Games\UrbanTerror42" +set fs_basepath "D:\Games\UrbanTerror42"
of course you would change the drive letter to yours. (note: this is in the target field of the shortcut properties)

EDIT: removed code tags as it made the text white which blends in the with the code displays background

Ok, but did it in your case fell back to AppData automatically in some way? Because I could not see it on my system doing that and I try to understand why it does for others ...
