Where Does Special K Store Configs?

Special K Documents profiles plus per-game INI injection layout.

Last updated

Special K keeps a central profile store in Documents My Mods plus per-game INI files next to each hooked executable. Global injection settings and game profiles stay separate on purpose.

HDR retrofits are the headline feature. Tune per game; global defaults rarely suit everything.

Where Special K stores this, by platform

Windows
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\profiles

Per-game profiles inside; global config sits in the SpecialK parent. Injected games also carry a local dxgi.ini or SpecialK config beside their exe. Copy profiles to migrate tuning; reinstall the service after major Windows updates.

Frequently asked questions

Why did Special K stop injecting?

Game updates and antivirus both break injection. Reinstall the service and re-exclude the folders above.

Where are Special K HDR settings?

In the per-game profile INI inside the path above. Copy profiles between machines to keep calibration.
