Warhammer 40000 Darktide is a first-person action game developed and published by Fatshark. The game is available for Xbox Series X/S and Microsoft Windows, released in November. The game’s excellent Coop experience falls under the fighting/adventure category. Darktide received a lot of positive reviews on steam, and it is worth trying for all of you.

Darktide suffers from a few issues, like crashing and low performance, but everything else is perfect with the game. However, you might need to edit the config files to alter the values or wish to have a backup of your save, but you are still determining where to look for it. Having a proper backup of your Saved Files will help you save a lot of your time if you need to start using Steam Cloud Save Feature.

Since many players need help finding these files, this guide will help you clear that out.

Darktide Config File Location

To change the values inside the Config File, you need to right-click on the Config file, select Open With, and choose the Notepad option to access the file’s contents.

However, if you can’t find the AppData folder, look for the steps below this paragraph. The configuration file is called the “settings.dat”, which means you won’t be able to edit directly. As we said earlier, you must use notepad, which opens up on a writable config file. This is useful when rectifying errors that cannot be done from within the game.

How to find Appdata Folder for Darktide

It sometimes needs to be clarified for people to find the AppData folder because it remains hidden, and you will have to make it visible before you can access its contents. So this is how you do it

  1. Select and open any folder on your PC, whether a new or an existing one.
  2. Go to the View option on top of the folder Window
  3. You will find an option called “Show Hidden Files and Folders.”
  4. Check the box and click on Apply

You will find the AppData folder when you return to the C:\Users\Your username.

So this was all about the Save and Config File Locations for Warhammer 40000 Darktide.
