Screenshot Folder Changed
The folder is getting smelly so they ninjaed their way to documents and settings.
Game settings file is now in different place as well. I found this quite a huge problem for me, I have two accounts and switch them when ever I feel like.
I kept track of screenshots by having different folders for different accounts and window size settings. Each computer has 5 folders at this point… And this possibility is now gone. :/
This is Windows XP by the way, my Windows 7 machine has always very irritatingly buried them in the system files.
I preferred the ‘portable’ software feel this game had on Windows XP.
edit: Oh yeah, screenshots and game settings are now in two different places, which is even more irritating… Hahaha… /cry
Did you happen to tick or untick any shortcut commands or properties? I happen to know that several games change the save location, screenshots folder and/or game config files when you use compatability mode on Vista, Win7 and Win8.
For me the old settings were gone after I had downloaded theTeq patch. So I figure it was changed in that. I only noticed the screenshot folder change now, since I haven’t had time to log in much after the patch yet. :/
My documents folder is called My Freaking Documents Folder by the way, which did make me laugh a bit while I was staring the screenshot notification in state of horror. I can’t remember what game it was that made me change the location and in irritation I had renamed it as well. :P
Anyway, even if I change it to say ‘D’, with the Guild Wars 2 folder it just make really long screenshot notification line in my chat log… It used to be for example Driveletter:/gw2 – w/Screens/filename. Now if just goes on and on and on!
The small things, the small things…
I hope a shortcut command shows up to make the whole thing ‘portable’ software again. :/
edited: Just checked the wiki to see what it was actually called. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments is what I mean with the commands above.
If I could have the settings file and screenshots back in the game folder I would be happier.
