Nice ideas mh, and would actually be useful for playing the game from read-only places like network folders or CD/DVD-ROMs. _________________ Makaqu engine blog / website.

I think you are supposed to put "hidden" cache-like stuff (the same sort of thing as GLQuake's ms2 files, for example), in AppData, and put the user-config stuff (screenshots, saves, config) in My Games. |
That's why you should use SHGetFolderPath - you don't need to worry about that stuff if you just do it the right way.  |
I wasn't talking about how to get the paths, I was talking about the stupid amount of paths that games have used, and which paths should be used for which things.
Also, I don't remember SHGetFolderPath having My Games, for example. I guess you can append "My Games", but what if Windows 8 renames it to "My Gamezz" or something? _________________ F. A.

aye has changed a fair bit over the last few windowses.
like 7 does it seems to be the final way i think, it even stores msys and cygwin data paths in the windows user folders now.
vista did also but screwed up a fair bit sometimes i havent had any problems with that on 7.
well besides my gfx card crashing (not related) |
