Prc files not read by packp3d

My etc folder has a modified Config.prc with the added variable max-dt 0.04.
It is necessary to prevent my game character from falling through the floor.

However, it seems packp3d doesn’t seem to see the copies of Config.prc and ConfAuto.prc that is in the same directory and same level as my main.py.

What must I do to get packp3d to read and include those prc files?

EDIT:

Oh this is just great.

Are you telling me that I can’t load critical prc file data into my game when I want to pack everything into a p3d!

Ok managed to get the runtime to read the prc files, but could we edit the manual to remove that misleading portion of text?

What portion of text?
