Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Config File Location (Windows)

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide stores its config files at %APPDATA%\Fatshark\Darktide 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 every version, so a config that got reset is one click from restored.

Where Warhammer 40,000: Darktide settings are stored

  • Windows — %APPDATA%\Fatshark\Darktide

The settings here is .config files — back up the folder as a set, not single files, so a restore always keeps them consistent.

How to open the config folder

  • Windows — press Win+R, paste %APPDATA%\Fatshark\Darktide, and press Enter.

  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.
