Twin Dragon uses it's own private copy of SW.CFG (GOG only)
- Unlike Wanton Destruction, which uses a .grp file to store it's data, Twin Dragon installed it's self to Shadow Warrior by overwriting the original second episode, Code of Honor. GOG got around this issue by distributing two instances of Shadow Warrior with their version, one already "patched" with Twin Dragon located in the
/dragondirectory, the other "vanilla" version with Wanton Destruction in the root folder. Though a clever design on GOG's part, it causes it's own inconvenience as it requires it's own private copy of the SW.CFG settings file.
