Where Are Foxhole Save Files Located?
Foxhole keeps config in a Foxhole Saved tree under LocalAppData. Windows path, screenshots folder and Proton notes.
Last updated
Foxhole follows the Unreal layout with one naming wrinkle. The config folder is called Foxhole, while the install directory and the executable use the project name War. Firewall prompts may ask about WAR even though you launched Foxhole, which confuses first-time allowlisting.
Settings sit in Foxhole/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor, with GameUserSettings.ini the usual target for resolution and frame fixes. High-resolution screenshots land in a separate Saved/Screenshots tree. The persistent war itself lives on the servers, so local files carry options only.
Where Foxhole stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Foxhole\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
GameUserSettings.ini holds graphics and resolution. Screenshots go to Saved\Screenshots beside it. The install exe is War.exe under steamapps\common\Foxhole, which is why firewall entries may read WAR instead of Foxhole.
<SteamLibrary>/steamapps/compatdata/505460/pfx/
Steam Play prefix for app ID 505460. The LocalAppData tree above is mirrored inside the prefix. Allowlist whichever binary name your firewall shows, Foxhole or WAR.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Foxhole config file?
In Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor under the Foxhole LocalAppData folder. GameUserSettings.ini covers resolution, quality and frame caps. Edit with the game closed and keep a backup before trying unlock or FOV tweaks.
Why does my firewall ask about WAR for Foxhole?
War is the Unreal project name baked into the executable and install paths. The config folder uses the public name Foxhole while the binary answers to WAR. Allow it once and both names resolve to the same game.
Where are Foxhole screenshots saved?
In Saved\Screenshots under the same Foxhole LocalAppData tree, separate from Steam screenshot storage. High-resolution captures land there. Steam overlay shots keep their own folder under userdata when taken that way.
