Bug #2203
Double profiles after first execution (randomly)
100%
Description
build 2242.
After execution doomsday for the first time (when the "runtime" directory is not present) profiles on the home ui are doubled (see 2242.jpg).
(The above describes behavior on a new machine I have temporary access to. On my old Vista machine the first execution ends up in the black screen which I have to close using alt+f4. The second execution gives me windowed maximized mode which I can change to full-screen)

Fixed|UI|Home: Game profiles listed in duplicate after launching
On the first launch, game profiles are populated based on the
available games, and it was possible that this operation was done
twice if the games are immediately playable.

Could you describe the exact actions you took on that first run that produced duplicate profiles?
Please attach the file "configs/game.dei" from your runtime folder. That's where the profiles are stored.

I did more testing on two systems (one with vista and the other with win10). I do the following. I remove the runtime directory, I unpack x64 zip, I copy standard WADs to data and then execute doomsday.exe. The behavior is quite random. 3 possibilities occur
1) expected execution
2) double profiles in all are some of panels doom/heretic/hexem . the content of game.dei is as expected (each profile occurs just once)
3) black screen which needs to be closed by alt+f4 (no game.dei file). Second execution is fine.
