Launching via openmw.exe instead of launcher
The launcher prompts you to start the game running a specific content list, but obviously running openmw.exe directly bypasses anything like that, so does that mean it's using the last played content list settings from the launcher? Basically what I'm asking is that once you have the launcher settings exactly how you want them is it a few clicks faster to just launch directly from openmw.exe? or does doing that have possible negatives like assuming a possibly undesired default content list?

Re: Launching via openmw.exe instead of launcher
The launcher activates a content list by copying its settings out of
This is currently broken on the master branch, so if you're using a dev build, you'll see it creates a new content list each time you start the launcher even if it's identical to one of your existing ones.
launcher.cfg
and into openmw.cfg
, so running OpenMW directly will always use the last content list you selected in the launcher. If you edit openmw.cfg
manually, then run the launcher, it'll check if the settings you've got are the same as any of the content lists you've got in launcher.cfg
, and if so, set the dropdown to that content list. Otherwise, it'll copy your current settings into a new content list.This is currently broken on the master branch, so if you're using a dev build, you'll see it creates a new content list each time you start the launcher even if it's identical to one of your existing ones.
