- Game Save Location: Portable versions often change the directory where saves are stored. You may not be able to carry over saves from a legitimate Steam/Epic version to a portable version easily.
- Update Method: Portable versions usually cannot be updated automatically via Steam or GOG. You would need to download the entire new portable release when a new patch comes out.
- Security: Ensure you download from reputable sources. "Portable" executables are sometimes flagged by antivirus software due to the way they are compressed (and rarely due to malicious code).
