Hmm, why not? I set DOOMWADDIR directory, but I guess most users don't know about this variable.

Just stumbled upon this trap. Copied a WAD file from my Downloads directory straight to my $HOME, "temporarily" of course, and then had to debug why the engine wouldn't load Doom 2 anymore. It's really bad practice.
