~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/312560/in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (312560) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

- "Later in the Steam thread that KainXVIII created, DarkSpartan posted a link to a different DirectX 8 wrapper that, in my experience at least, works even better: https://github.com/ThirteenAG/d3d8-wrapper/releases Just unzip the two files, and put them in the same folder as the Xanadu Next .exe. No configuration needed (though again, I can only speak to my experience here, no guarantees of course). The .ini has a few options, but I didn't need to change any of them. EDIT: With newer versions of the wrapper, you need to change Direct3D8DisableMaximizedWindowedModeShim from 0 to 1 in the ini."
