Where Are Frostpunk 2 Config Files Located?
Frostpunk 2 config folder on Windows and Linux, the 11bitstudios tree with separate Steam, GOG and Store paths.
Last updated
Frostpunk 2 separates config by store. PCGamingWiki lists %LOCALAPPDATA%/11bitstudios/Frostpunk2/Steam/Saved/Config/Windows for Steam, with parallel GOG and MS branches beside it. Pick the branch that matches your copy.
These ini files hold display and engine options. Saves live elsewhere in the same Saved tree. The split is why deleting config resets graphics without touching campaigns. GOG and Store branches mirror the layout beside Steam. Wrong branch edits simply never load in game. Edits apply on next launch.
Where Frostpunk 2 stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\11bitstudios\Frostpunk2\Steam\Saved\Config\Windows
Store specific branches: Steam, GOG and MS side by side. Edit with the game closed. Console style mods arrive via mod.io, not this folder.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1601580/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/11bitstudios/Frostpunk2/Steam/Saved/Config/Windows
Proton prefix for app ID 1601580. The 11bitstudios tail inside mirrors Windows. Check Steam versus GOG branch first.
Frequently asked questions
The game boots to bad graphics. How do I reset?
Delete the Config folder with the game closed and launch again. Fresh defaults return. Keep a copy first if you tuned graphics by hand. Note your store branch first to avoid wiping the wrong folder.
Should I back up saves too?
Saves sit in a different branch from config. Back up both trees before a reinstall. Mods from mod.io attach through the game menu and do not live in the config folder.
