@nogthar no problems. glad I was helpful.

by the way 🙂 you can use HTOP to order the game to run on all processor cores, or on a more productive one. This is useful for those who have every CPU rating point on their account.
launch HTOP, find the game process. click "a" and select cores/threads.
there are other ways, but this one is the simplest, fastest, without serious interference with the kernel process scheduler and writing startup scripts.
the profit is that if you roll the game straining all the cores / threads, the processor chip of the chiplet architecture warms up more evenly. Well, if 0/1 core / thread is not the most productive, you can fix the situation.

@brutus5000 said in Different Game.prefs for client and game on linux:

So far we have no way to set the game.prefs location directly. Someone could add it but there is not much demand for that.
I roughly checked the code and the only point where the game.prefs is required is for
a) an experimental feature to run replays sideways to a game (watch replays while lobby sim)
b) read your last active mods

This should not cause your ability to break the game. We'd need logs to check on why that happens.

how is there no demand!!!!
the game throws its files in different places.
something is in the STEAM folders, something is in the wine/proton folder, something is in .faforewer, something incomprehensible and hidden (.com.faforever.client.FafClientApplication) lies in the HOME directory, for some reason this mess is being created: "/home/dav/My Games/Gas Powered Games/Supreme Commander Forged Alliance"

while you put things in order and put everything in one place, the game breaks down... or laziness will win to look for all these configuration files and edit links

there is a demand and some more, it's just indecent to beg.
