Assetto Corsa Config File Location (Windows)

Assetto Corsa stores its config files at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg on Windows. That folder holds the settings rather than a save: keybinds, sensitivity, video options, the layout you arranged. Checkpoint64 already knows it, backs it up automatically and keeps earlier versions, so a config that got reset is one click from restored.

Where Assetto Corsa settings are stored

  • Windows — %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg

How to open the config folder

  • Windows — press Win+R, paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg, and press Enter.

Backing up Assetto Corsa settings automatically

  1. Install Checkpoint64 (free) and pick Assetto Corsa — the config path above is already preset.
  2. Auto-backup watches the folder and uploads a new version whenever it changes, keeping full history.
  3. Restore any version in one click after a patch resets your settings, a file verification restores the defaults, or you move to a new PC.

Common questions

Where does Assetto Corsa store config files on Windows?

Assetto Corsa keeps its settings at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg. Checkpoint64 already knows this path and backs the folder up automatically.

Can I back up Assetto Corsa settings automatically?

Yes — Checkpoint64 watches Assetto Corsa's config folder and uploads a new version every time it changes, so you get automatic backups with version history. Free download for Windows and Linux.

How do I restore my Assetto Corsa settings?

With Checkpoint64, open the config folder's version list and restore any earlier version in one click — it puts those exact files back, so every keybind and video setting comes back together. Without a backup there is nothing to go back to: the game rewrote the folder with its defaults.
