Is that the thicks way to save the games you
have heard of i just lost all the games i have played up to the 5th level on hardcore
and if your worndeing why i replaced the q3config it was to setup some mem to use more ram
So do not replace the q3config file

Methinks u r rapidly beginning to hate Q3...

My understanding of the q3config.cfg file is dat it has everything in it.
Which is good or bad depending on how u look @ it.

As long as you keep separate your cfg file and always play with it then u should never loose u're saved games.
