- When opening the select game exe or select setup exe dialog from the profile editor or the wizard the path of the setup exe or the game exe (if already defined) will be used as initial directory instead of the games base directory.
- When a checksum error (changed or exchanged game program file) is detected, D-Fend Reloaded now also offers the option to turn off checksums for the profile (until now only keep old checksum or create new checksum).
- The checksum driven game file change detection can be turned off in the setup dialog now.
