====== persist.pack ======

**persist.pack** is the name of the special resource package where [[:Doomsday 2]] keeps all persistent application data. The package is stored in the user's runtime folder.

The package uses the standard Doomsday resource package format (ZIP/PK3 with [[modding:Info]] metadata).

==== modules/Config ====

The ''Config'' [[script:record|namespace]] contains settings such as:
  * automatic updater preferences
  * window position and mode
  * enabled log levels and alert preferences
  * which tabs are visible in Home
  * local packages to be loaded when joining a multiplayer game
  * overall pixel density setting for the renderer
  * audio backend preferences
  * folders for locating IWADs and other packages

==== UIState ====

Persistent state for UI widgets so it can be restored in the future. Used for example for remembering console commands entered in the past.

===== Restoring all settings to defaults =====


One can delete **persist.pack** to force the engine to restore //all// settings to defaults. (All settings saved in persist.pack, that is.) 

The ''-reset'' option can also be used to do this. ([[version:1.11]] →)
