Changing read-folder location

Post by Cain Freemont »

How would I go about changing the folder that Illarion reads its content from? I made a mistake in my selection after the last update (which I'm sure by now, is not new). I apologize if this is not specific enough.

Good question!
I checked some files and the registry for the path entry, but without success...

Find the folder "c:/Documents and Settings/<your name>".

In that folder is a file ".illarion" with the game path. You can edit it. Or delete it and when you next start the client, it will ask you for a new location to put the files in.

Note: Explorer may hide the folder from you when you run it with default settings. Then you need to turn system folders on to access it.
