all right.
In my file pcc.ini the parameter Backup.Result has value "%d/backups/result%p.%t". What is the value of %d? As I understand %d is game directory.

OK, tried Windows, works as expected for me.

However, here's one difference I found between PCC2 and PCC2ng. If you installed PCC2 long time ago (before 1.99.13), you will have a pcc2.ini file in your profile, e.g. C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\pcc2.ini. I have moved that to conform more to software standards, so that the file is installed in C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\PCC2\pcc2.ini. PCC2 will find the file at either location, but never move it. PCC2ng will only find it at the new location.

Thus, please check your profile directory. If you have pcc2.ini directly in your profile, move it into the PCC2 directory, and both versions will find it. I could reproduce that having the ini file at the old location will cause PCC2ng not to find the backups.

I guess I'll finally add the "move" functionality, hoping that nobody downgrades by seven years :smile:

This still doesn't explain why you're seeing a problem after the update, though.
