True Portable Mode?

[Nyanpasu1]

VRCX doesnt seem to able works truly portable, everytime you run vrcx then it will automatically write their data on programdata or roaming folder, regardless i am placing vrcx folder and using the apps on my external drive.

This will be issue when you are using another PC or devices, since the data are not stored in my external drive, then it will create another fresh new data on programdata or roaming folder, which is behavior of installed program

plus when you update the program, it doesnt update on external drive, instead it will update the apps inside the roaming folder instead so my vrcx on external drive will remain outdated

Is there any option or future plan to add true portable mode? this will be very useful especially for user that often switch PC or devices on the move and relies on external drive as their data source.

--config=C:\path launch parameter should allow it to be portable, not sure if it supports a relative paths though. Updater doesn't support portable installs and that wont be changing as it's too niche to be worth the development time to maintain it.

is this launch parameter will put all my data including the one from roaming folder to the external drive folder?

Correct. https://github.com/vrcx-team/VRCX/wiki/Launch-parameters-&-VRCX.json#vrcx-launch-parameters

ok at least the data can be changed, but i did hope that one day, vrcx team expands and it will support portable updater
