Where Are SCUM Config Files Located?
SCUM config folder on Windows and Linux, the WindowsNoEditor ini tree sitting beside the SaveFiles folder.
Last updated
SCUM keeps config and saves as siblings. PCGamingWiki lists %LOCALAPPDATA%/SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor for options and %LOCALAPPDATA%/SCUM/Saved/SaveFiles for characters. Open the Config side for ini tweaks.
The split matters after patches. A bad ini can block launch while saves stay fine. Deleting Config resets options without touching progress, which is the fastest fix when the game worked yesterday. Grab SaveFiles too before verifying files. Repairs can reset Config after crashes, so recheck before editing again.
Where SCUM stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\SCUM\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
Ini options tree. Edit with the game closed. SaveFiles next door holds characters, so back up both before risky edits.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/513710/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor
Proton prefix for app ID 513710. The SCUM Saved tail inside mirrors Windows.
Frequently asked questions
How do I tweak SCUM graphics by hand?
Edit the ini files in WindowsNoEditor with the game and server closed. Graphics and input options rebuild on launch if removed. Keep a copy of working files before patch days.
Is this where my character is?
Saves sit in SaveFiles next door. Config holds options only. Back up both folders together before reinstalls so settings and characters travel as a pair.
