I just reinstalled the game to fix some bugs i was having. And i forgot to record my previous settings. So my question: Where are they stored? And is there any way to recover them if not backed up?
Run your Planetside 2 Launchpad and log in, but do not press play. Click on the Advanced Tools icon (looks like a hexagon surrounding a wrench) in the lower left and then choose the option to open game directory, the below files are where your settings are saved. PlanetSide2.exe ActivityUserData.ini LaunchPad-user.ini LoadingScreen.xml InputProfiles.xml SoundSettings.xml UserOptions.ini vivoxoal.dll vivoxsdk.dll Not really possible to recover them if they weren't backed up, as your user settings are locally saved on your machine.
