?

Its a possibility :\
It is indeed - good thinking Batman. I've had a look through the fathrlnd files with a hex editor, nothing that looks like a path to a map file in any of them.

Calling all devs - I'd really appreciate a pointer here - is Agrajag onto something? I have installed Dom2 onto a different drive this time around.

Is it perhaps something to do with the Windoze registry? Is each game entered into the registry when created?

I've created a new "cc1" game, and the only change to the Dom2 directory was the new cc1 game dir being created. I then replaced the files in cc1 with the files of my old cc1 game, and it won't load. So I suspect there must be something path-specific in the ftherlnd file, but I can't find it.

Any help much appreciated,

CC
