Where Does Paladins Store Config and Settings?
Paladins keeps sensitivity and graphics settings in ChaosGame Config INI files under My Games. Path, key files, and variants.
Last updated
Paladins stores local settings the old Hi-Rez way: INI files in Documents\My Games\Paladins\ChaosGame\Config. ChaosInput.ini holds mouse sensitivity and keybinds, while the engine INI files beside it hold graphics, frame caps and audio. Screenshots and logs live in sibling folders under the same tree.
Some installs name the folder paladinslive instead of Paladins, a leftover of the beta-to-live transition that still causes guides to point at a folder you do not have. Whichever name yours uses, the ChaosGame\Config tail is identical. Progress needs no backup since Hi-Rez holds it all server-side; these files only save you reconfiguring. Paladins on PC is Windows-only.
Where Paladins stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Paladins\ChaosGame\Config
ChaosInput.ini holds sensitivity and keybinds; chaosengine.ini holds frame caps and graphics. Some installs use paladinslive instead of Paladins as the folder name; the ChaosGame\Config tail is the same either way. Set files read-only if the game overwrites your sensitivity tweaks. Screenshots land in ChaosGame\Screenshots.
Frequently asked questions
how do i match scope and hipfire sensitivity in paladins
Edit ChaosInput.ini in the Config folder: MouseSensitivity for hipfire and fScopeSensitivity for scoped, around 37.6 to match the two. The game may need the file set read-only and a restart to honor the values. Test in the shooting range before queuing ranked.
how do i cap paladins fps via config
Cap it in chaosengine.ini with bSmoothFrameRate and MaxSmoothedFrameRate lines. Older guides edit the same file for 30 or 60 fps locks on weak hardware. Keep a backup of the original INI; Paladins patches occasionally rewrite the Config folder and eat custom values.
do i lose progress deleting paladins local files
No. Your champions, skins and rank live on Hi-Rez servers tied to your account. The local folder holds only settings, screenshots and logs. Reinstalling and logging back in restores everything that matters; the INI files just save you reconfiguring sensitivity.
