Where Does Darktide Store Config and Logs?
Darktide progression is stored on Fatshark servers, not in a local save file. Local config and logs sit under AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Darktide on Windows.
Last updated
Darktide does not use a local save you can transfer for progression. Character and mission progress remain on Fatshark servers and survive local reinstalls.
Local files cover settings and diagnostics. user_settings.config holds options, console_logs holds session logs, and darktide_launcher.log records launcher activity. Support commonly asks for these three when fixing crashes.
Where Warhammer 40,000: Darktide stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Fatshark\Darktide\user_settings.config
Main options file. Open the folder with Win plus R and %appdata%, then Fatshark Darktide. If options reset on launch, clear the read only flag and disable conflicting Cloud restores before editing.
%APPDATA%\Fatshark\Darktide\console_logs
Session console logs named by timestamp. Provide the log matching the crash time plus darktide_launcher.log from the parent folder. Microsoft Store builds use Fatshark MicrosoftStore Darktide instead.
Frequently asked questions
Can I back up Darktide progression locally?
No. Progression is server side, so local copies cannot restore characters or gear. Local backup only preserves settings and key bindings.
Where do I find logs for a crash report?
Open %appdata%\Fatshark\Darktide\console_logs and pick the file with the crash timestamp. Include darktide_launcher.log and user_settings.config from the parent folder when asked by support.
