Where Are The Artful Escape Config Files Located?
The Artful Escape config folder on Windows and Linux, where Engine.ini fixes for stutter and graphics live.
Last updated
Config for The Artful Escape sits beside saves in the ArtfulEscape Saved tree. PCGamingWiki lists %LOCALAPPDATA%/ArtfulEscape/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor on Windows. That folder holds Engine.ini and GameUserSettings.ini.
The known Glimmer City performance fix goes here. It adds two lines to Engine.ini under SystemSettings. Skipping intro movies is a separate edit inside the install folder, not this config path. Back up Engine.ini before testing values from forums. A broken line can block launch, and a clean copy restores it fast.
Where The Artful Escape stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\ArtfulEscape\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
Unreal ini files. Edit with the game closed. Store builds use a WinGDK Config path under Packages instead.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1122680/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/ArtfulEscape/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor
Proton prefix for app ID 1122680. Same WindowsNoEditor tail inside the prefix.
Frequently asked questions
How do I fix the Glimmer City slowdown?
Open Engine.ini in that folder and add the scene render target resize tweak under SystemSettings. Save with the game closed. Delete or rename the entry to revert.
Is it safe to delete the config folder?
Yes, if you want a clean boot. The game rebuilds defaults next launch. Back up the folder first so custom tweaks are not lost. Store the backup outside LocalAppData so reinstalls cannot wipe it.
