Q:
Where does Gw2 hold the options file?
A:
%appdata%/Guild Wars 2/Local.dat is where your hardware settings are stored.
Documents/Guild Wars 2/Local.dat is an alternate location and if it exists, it will override the one in %appdata%.
%appdata%/Guild Wars 2/GFXSettings.Gw2.exe.xml will override your video settings.
All other account settings are stored by the server.
Update: I found another post at http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/36641-gw2-config-settings/ and the answer was that it’s located at “C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Guild Wars 2”
However, on my computer, the local.dat file doesn’t exist in that folder. These are the contents of that folder:
