Where Does vkQuake Store Config and Saves?
vkQuake Quake configs and saves with installer versus portable roots.
Last updated
vkQuake keeps configs and saves inside id1 folders. Installer builds nest that tree under Roaming app data. Portable builds keep it in the Quake base dir.
Config plus autoexec sit beside saves per mod folder. Only the installer root is documented upstream; the rest follows Quake convention. Keep the id1 tree together.
Where vkQuake stores this, by platform
%AppData%\vkQuake\id1\config.cfg
Roaming id1 tree with config, autoexec and saves for installer builds. Zip builds stay portable in the base dir. Lowercase paks required on Linux.
<quake-dir>/id1/config.cfg
Portable id1 tree in the Quake base dir with saves beneath. Run the AppImage from a copied base dir.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up vkQuake?
Copy the id1 folder with the game closed. Config plus autoexec and saves travel together. Restoring means putting the folder back before launch. Match installer or portable root first.
Installer or portable paths?
Installer builds redirect user files to Roaming while zip builds stay portable in the Quake dir. Lowercase pak names matter on Linux. Check the root before assuming paths.
