re: How to Reset, Backup, Restore my WildStar settings?

0

This is a short guide on how to:

  1. Safely reset your game settings to defaults.
  2. Backup and Restore your game settings.
  3. Move your settings to another PC.

 

1. WildStar holds it's player configuration options, along with any user addons and addon settings in a different folder than the game installation folder.

The easiest way to navigate to that folder is.

- Open a file browser / windows explorer window.

- At the address bar type %appdata%\NCSoft and press Enter. This will navigate to the game's profile folder (not the installation folder) where all the game settings are stored.

If you want to reset them to defaults.

- Rename the WildStar folder found in NCSoft to WildStar.Backup.

- Upon starting the game it will create a fresh WildStar folder with default settings. You may need to reselect EU as your region on the launcher.

- If you want to restore your previous settings, exit the game, navigate to the profile folder in the same way, delete the fresh WildStar profile folder and rename WildStar.Backup back to WildStar.

 

2. Open a file browser / windows explorer window.

- Type %appdata%\NCSoft in the address bar and press Enter.

- Zip the WildStar profile folder found therein, giving it a timestamped name for example WildStar-22-Jun-2015.zip

- Move the newly packaged profile folder to a safe location.

- If you need to restore your setting because *reasons* (something got corrupted, you made some addon changes and don't remember how to revert them, any reason)

Navigate again to the profile folder (%appdata%\NCSoft)

Open your zip backup in another window and drag the WildStar folder from the .zip to the profile folder overwriting the one there.

 

3. Move your settings to a new installation / another PC / restore them after a re-installation.

- Open a file browser / windows explorer window on the source PC. Type %appdata%\NCSoft in the address bar and press Enter.

- Copy or compress the WildStar profile folder found within to external media or another disk.

- Open a file browser / windows explorer window on the destination PC. Type %appdata%\NCSoft in the address bar and press Enter.

- Unpack or Paste the saved WildStar profile folder to the new WildStar profile installation.
