Where Are Black Desert Settings Stored?
Black Desert settings and cache folders on PC in Documents, including GameOption.txt and UserCache.
Last updated
Black Desert keeps client settings and cache in a Black Desert folder inside Documents. GameOption.txt holds graphics choices; UserCache holds UI and local state.
Progression is server-side, so local backups serve settings migration rather than character safety. Still worth copying before reinstalls.
Where Black Desert Online stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Black Desert
Holds GameOption.txt, UserCache and related client data. Exact inner files shift between BDO updates; copy the whole folder with the game closed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Black Desert settings?
Copy the Black Desert Documents folder with the game closed. Settings, UI layout and cache travel together. Restore before launching with the client closed.
Will I lose my character if I reinstall?
Characters, gear and silver live on Pearl Abyss servers. Local files cover graphics, UI and cache only, so reinstalls never threaten progression.
