EtaYorius: Also, i had a hell of a time trying to find the ini... why aren't the saves files and ini created inside the main folder?
It's not the standard presented by the OS and doesn't work well cross-platform or with proper security enabled on Windows.
EtaYorius: where are they located in Windows XP?
By default %appdata% (enter it in explores address bar) and then navigate to diasurgical/devilution (there might be a folder called roaming first).
You can force the save folder by running the game with "devilutionx.exe --save-dir ." ("." is short for the current folder, but you can specify any you like).
Is Windows XP your normal system or are you playing it in a virtual machine for some reason? DevilutionX has native Windows 10 support. XP is actually the oldest version of Windows we support and we do not do much testing there.
