I assume you already have done a file search? (search in hidden / system folders for *.dm_68)

please check this in console to see where the quake 3 gets his resources (files) from:
/fs_path
maybe you have more then 1 quake 3 installations ?
also be aware that 1 time happen to me that the quake 3 to start using the files from the "Documents And Settings/Application Data/Quake 3 Arena/excessiveplus/" (Straight face on windows xp)

fs_path can also be configured from the shortcut command command line by adding
+set fs_path >>absolute path<<

I don't think so. It's either /fs_homepath or /fs_basepath. Happy

Would you mind explaining exactly how to do this? I was having the same problem and found them in the AppData folder for Windows 7.

this is why you should add this into your quake3.exe shortcut or bat file :

quake3.exe ..... +set fs_homepath >>absolutepath<<

example:

quake3.exe +set fs_game excessiveplus +set vm_cgame 2 +set vm_ui 2 +set fs_homepath "M:\games\quake3"

The thing is, /fs_homepath and /fs_basepath both show the correct path, but it's saving it in a completely different folder.

Also, I was asking HOW to set that command line into quake3.exe. I've never done that with anything. Worried
