Revert Game Settings Changes

🎮 Revert Game Settings Applied by Hone

Hone offers optimized in-game presets for many titles to improve performance.
However, in some cases these settings may not be ideal for every system or personal preference.

If you’d like to revert any game settings applied by Hone, follow the steps below.

Step 1: Use Hone’s Automatic Revert Option

The easiest way to revert a game preset is through Hone itself.

  • Open Hone

  • Locate the game you applied optimizations to

  • Click the Performance / Optimal preset

  • Select Deactivate Optimization

Alternative Method (Manual Revert)

In rare cases, a game may not properly revert its settings automatically.
If this happens, you can manually delete the game’s configuration file.

We’ll use Fortnite as an example below.

Step 1: Locate the Game Configuration File

For Fortnite, the config file is located at:

%LocalAppData%\FortniteGame\Saved\Config\WindowsClient\GameUserSettings.ini

Step 2: Delete the Configuration File

  • Close the game completely

  • Delete the file:
    GameUserSettings.ini

  • Relaunch the game

Your settings will now be reset to default.

How to Find Config Files for Other Games

Every game stores configuration files in different locations.

To find your game’s config path:

Example shown below for Roblox:

⚠️ Important Note

After manually deleting a game’s config file:

  • Hone may still show the preset as enabled

  • This is only a visual cache issue

  • The settings are no longer applied

To fix this:

  • Log out of Hone

  • Log back in

The display will refresh correctly.
