Where Is the Hell Let Loose Config File?
Hell Let Loose keeps graphics and keybinds in an HLL folder under LocalAppData. Config path, the 60fps reset, and Linux.
Last updated
Hell Let Loose stores its settings in LocalAppData\HLL\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor, led by GameUserSettings.ini with resolution, frame caps and sensitivity. The HLL folder name is just the acronym, which sends searchers looking for a HellLetLoose folder that does not exist.
The file rewrites itself on launch, resetting the frame cap to 60 and discarding hand edits. The community answer is the read-only checkbox after editing: lock the file and your values survive. Unlock it when menu changes should stick. Progress needs no backup since stats live server-side. Linux mirrors the layout inside the Proton prefix for app ID 686810.
Where Hell Let Loose stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\HLL\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
GameUserSettings.ini holds resolution, FrameRateLimit and sensitivity. The game resets the cap to 60 on launch, so set read-only after editing. Deleting the folder with the game closed resets broken graphics states. Folder is named HLL, not HellLetLoose. Stats are server-side.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/686810/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/HLL/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor
The Windows layout mirrored inside the Proton prefix, where 686810 is the game's Steam app ID. Some installs use ~/.steam/steam instead of ~/.local/share/Steam. Same INI filenames and read-only behavior. Anti-cheat may still block online play under Proton.
Frequently asked questions
how do i uncap hell let loose fps
Open GameUserSettings.ini and set FrameRateLimit to your refresh rate or 0 for uncapped, then set the file read-only. The game resets the cap to 60 on launch otherwise. Unlock read-only whenever you actually want menu changes to stick, then relock after.
how do i fix hell let loose broken resolution
Delete the WindowsNoEditor folder with the game closed and relaunch. HLL rebuilds defaults, clearing broken resolution or fullscreen states that trap the cursor off-screen. Back up GameUserSettings.ini first if it holds sensitivity values you cannot reconstruct from memory.
