Where Are Diablo IV Saves and Settings Located?
Diablo IV local settings file on PC and the server-side truth about characters: progress lives on Blizzard servers, not on disk.
Last updated
Diablo IV is an online game, so characters and loot live server-side. The only meaningful local file is LocalPrefs.txt, which holds graphics and client settings.
That split simplifies backups. There is no character save to protect. Guard the prefs file if you have a tuned setup, and let Blizzard hold the rest.
Where Diablo IV stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Diablo IV\LocalPrefs.txt
Holds LocalPrefs.txt with graphics and client options. Keybindings are server-side. If Documents is redirected to OneDrive, settings conflicts are common.
Frequently asked questions
Where are my Diablo IV characters saved locally?
You cannot. Characters, items and campaign progress live on Blizzard servers. Reinstalling or switching PCs loses nothing except local graphics preferences.
How do I fix Diablo IV settings that keep resetting?
Delete LocalPrefs.txt with the game closed. It regenerates with defaults on next launch. OneDrive syncing Documents is a known cause of repeated corruption, so exclude the folder if problems recur.
