Once Human local Documents folder with graphics config, and why characters live on Starry Studio servers.

Last updated

Once Human is an online survival game, so characters and world progress persist on Starry Studio servers under your account. Logging in on a new PC restores everything without copying files.

The local footprint players report is a Documents folder holding client config such as GraphicConfig.xml. Treat that as settings backup, not as your character.

Where Once Human stores this, by platform

Windows
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Once Human

Reported location of client config including GraphicConfig.xml. Exact contents may vary by version, so confirm on your install before scripting backups. Character data itself is server-side, and deleting local files cannot wipe your progress.

Frequently asked questions

Can I move my Once Human character to another PC?

Yes, by signing into the same account. Progress downloads from the server, so no file transfer is needed.

How do I reset Once Human graphics settings?

Edit or remove GraphicConfig.xml in the Documents folder above with the game closed. The game regenerates defaults on next launch.
