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 Info metadata).

| UIState | State of UI widgets. |
The Config namespace contains settings such as:

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. (1.11 →)
