Where Is the Parsec Config File?
Parsec config file and logs on Windows for host and client settings.
Last updated
Parsec keeps config.txt plus logs in a per-user data folder. Host settings, client options and approved computers share the space.
One text file holds the tweakable half. In-app settings cover basics; the file covers encoder and network details.

Frequently asked questions
How do I hand-edit Parsec settings?
