i have checked the options menu and it has only the options from the previous version. i may need to reinstall but that would mean losing my data. what and where is the game data stored as?

edit: fixed it. i had previously used the gog downloader and that had not added the options .. i manually downloaded and ran the update and that seems to have done it.

It's one or two files, depending on whether you currently have one run on hold (have "quit and saved" one game).

it was the specific file names i needed to know. the directory was not what i had trouble finding. it is fixed now though. I manually updated rather than use the gog downloader to update
