No persistence of settings between sessions
Hi,
Everytime I restart a game, all the settings I changed have reverted back to the defaults. Typically view settings, HUD settings, and the like. I've looked in $HOME/.doomsday/runtime/configs/doom/game.cfg and it says:
So I did as told and created the autoexec.cfg file (in the same dir) and put the pertinent settings into it, which on re-launch of the game are completely ignored. There is no reference to autoexec.cfg in doomsday.out.
Inspecting doomsday.out after typing `exec autoexec.cfg` in the console just says "Parsing autoexec.cfg.", but doesn't appear to set the console vars, or at least not insomuch as to actually have the desired effect. Setting them manually/individually within the console works but not persistently.
Don't know what else to try. Not sure if this an Arch Linux specific issue. Have tried both the stable release and git master branch.

Comments
On first run, the file did not exist. After changing settings and exiting the game, the mydoom.cfg existed and the settings inside it were set to the values I set them to in-game.
On second run, just as it says 'starting game', segmentation fault.
