Describe the bug Launching DOOM BFA with the +set fs_basepath command line parameter causes the game to show string variable placeholders in the settings menu.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run DOOM BFA with the +set fs_basepath command line parameter, eg. C:\Games\Doom 3 Source Ports\DOOM BFA\DoomBFA.exe" +set fs_basepath "C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOM 3 BFG Edition"
  2. Click on settings in the main menu

Expected behavior Show normal settings.

Additional context So far have not noticed any other bugs. Single player and multiplayer appears to launch successfully.

As for why one would do this: keeping source ports and game data separate and/or if Steam updates or overwrites files.

Hi, the issue here is that it expects to find it's own asset files either in fs_basepath or in fssavepath. Since the port is not in any of those paths it can't find it's own assets. If you want to keep the game clean I would recommend to all the base* folders on the save folder
