How to change openXcom user folder
« on: January 04, 2017, 02:36:49 am »
Hi guys, I'm having a little trouble in figuring out how to change user folders and I need to do so because I have both V 1.0 and nightly sharing the same user folder :\

I read at the Ufo wiki that it can be changed by passing a command line argument when running the game but I don't know how to do that, i already tried but with no results, do I need to install something else in order to do so? I'm totally lost in here :(

if somebody could help me I would really appreciate it, thanks in advance!!!!!

Are you on Windows? If yes, then the only thing to do is to create a "user" folder in your Openxcom installation. The game from now one will use this one instead of the one in your documents.
