Where Does GShade Store Presets?

GShade keeps presets inside each game's folder with global settings beside the installer location.

Last updated

GShade stores presets inside each game's own directory, in preset folders the in-game menu reads directly. Global settings live with wherever GShade itself was installed.

Per-game storage keeps presets isolated but scatters backups. Each game's presets travel with that game's folder, so migrating means copying presets game by game. Keep a master copy of favorite presets outside any install for reshades that survive reinstalls.

Per-game preset folders inside each game directory. Copy game by game for migration; keep a master set outside installs for reshades that survive reinstalls.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move my presets to a new PC?

Copy the preset folders to the new game install. Presets live per game, so the configurator needs reinstalling but the looks travel as files.
