Does that generate a log file in the directory of the game?
Also, Just to note, my last darkplaces build had some heavy HUD code and a completely new menu, and it works just fine. But when I update it, and stick in the old Quake menu and HUD files, it doesn't say its missing unlocatable data or anything. It just doesn't load/save files. I also noticed that Im not even getting a darkplaces_history.txt file either.
