I'm migrating MWO to another computer, and I'm wondering:

Q: Which file are MWO Settings/Keyboard/Keybind stored in, and where is it in the C:\ directory?

I'm using Steam to play MWO, if that makes any difference...

Thanks in advance!

C:\Users\Your user name\Saved Games\Mechwarrior Online\Profiles\Your profile name

As far as I know that's where all the user-related files are.

What EnochsBook said. The files are attributes.xml for settings and keymaps.xml for the keybinds. But if you want to migrate to another rig, it's useful to copy the whole folder in saved games.

i do this thing where i set up junction points in the specific user folders i want to save (not the whole thing mind you, the amount of crap stored in there is absurd for a location that is supposed to be user files only), and redirect them to the d drive. thus everything on c is completely disposable. i have a script i run to set them up on a fresh install.

Many thanks for everyone's input!

For those hoping to transfer MWO to a higher performance computer

For Steam version of MWO:

Keyboard Bind Keys:
