Where Does World of Warships Store Settings?
World of Warships AppData folder with preferences.xml, replays and screenshots on PC.
Last updated
World of Warships keeps ships, captains and progress on Wargaming servers, so the local folder carries settings rather than your fleet. Preferences, replays and screenshots live in the wargaming.net AppData tree.
Preferences.xml is the file tweakers hunt for graphics and mod-adjacent options. Copy the folder and every setting plus saved replays moves machines.
Where World of Warships stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Wargaming.net\World of Warships

Frequently asked questions
Will reinstalling World of Warships delete my ships?
No. Ships, captains and progress are server-side on your Wargaming account. Only local settings and replays need the backup.
Where are World of Warships replays?
In the replays subfolder of the directory above. Enable replay recording in settings first or nothing gets written.
