Hunt: Showdown 1896 Config File Location (Windows)

Hunt: Showdown 1896 stores its config files at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hunt Showdown 1896\user\profiles\default 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.
