World of Warships keeps replays and screenshots in its install folder with settings beside them. Careers live server-side per region.
Last updated
World of Warships is server-side at its core with local trimmings. Careers, regions and inventories live on accounts while the install folder holds replays, screenshots and settings. No local file backs a career.
Replays cap at thirty by default with engine toggles governing them. Config filenames drift across versions with newer user-named twins. Copy replays and settings locally while accepting accounts travel by login alone.
