| Nov 10, 2011 at 5:05 | comment | added | Feral Chimp | OMG. I just noticed that Bad Company 2 left a folder smack at the top level of my C drive. So maybe I shouldn't complain about BF3 dropping a folder in the My Documents folder. :-\ | |
| Nov 3, 2011 at 21:52 | comment | added | Feral Chimp | @burnso I've looked through the files in the game folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 3). Unfortunately very few files are user-editable, most are binary formats. And the few that are plain text seem irrelevant to this problem. Bad Company 2 also mindlessly dumps its data files in the root Documents directory, so I have the feeling we might be stuck with it for BF3 too. | |

| Nov 3, 2011 at 0:00 | comment | added | gburning | Isn't there some kind of .ini-file? One that sets where this folder is set to be? I do not own the game so I'll leave this open for anyone who has more to bring to the table regarding this. | |
