Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Applications writing to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE will be redirected to other locations based on various criterias, see the glossary page for more details.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/287310/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (287310) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  3. ↑ RVGL 19.0320a: Game animations now use a variable timestep, with an internal limit of 250 FPS.
