Where Are Duck Game Config Files Located?
Duck Game options files on Windows and Linux, the Options dat files stored beside saves in the AppData folder.
Last updated
Duck Game stores options as Options dat files inside the same AppData DuckGame folder as saves. PCGamingWiki lists %APPDATA%/DuckGame/Options*.dat on Windows. They hold graphics and input choices.
Saves and options share a roof but serve different ends. Deleting options resets settings while leaving profiles alone. That split makes troubleshooting safe: wipe config first, touch saves never. The files are tiny, so copies travel well. Check the log path line when saves look lost after switching builds.

Frequently asked questions
How do I reset Duck Game settings without losing progress?
Delete the Options files with the game closed and launch again. Fresh defaults return and saves stay untouched. Rebind keys afterward since mappings reset too.
Can I back up my key bindings?
Yes. Copy the Options files alongside the save folder. They are tiny and travel well. Keep beta and release copies apart since builds once used different paths.
