Can someone speak to this? The developers are saying dotNET is telling them where to put the settings:
DeadLock Devs wrote:The setting themselves are managed by the .NET Framework. This means that the settings file is usually saved to the AppData folder on your system (C:/Users/Username/AppData). We will add an import/export settings function to a future release of DeadLock so you can easily transport your settings
.
As there are plenty of portable dotNET programs, someone more familiar with the system should have some kind of answer for this.

HOWEVER, this folder is not created if you do not open app settings and click save. So in other words, its portable if you use it in its default configuration...
Thanks for checking. I get what you're saying but that's a distinction without a difference; for example, if you just run Microsoft Office with it's default settings everywhere, it will also be indistinguishable from a portable version. On the other hand, if there's really no reason to edit the settings as they don't really impact operation, we might say the settings saved are without real consequence and this should be an exception.
