How to Do Settings Reset in the Options Screen in Sons of the Forest

You can go back to the way it was.

Oftentimes we change game settings unintentionally or we notice that something is not working right in our game but now we’ve changed so many settings that we aren’t sure how to return them to default. When this happens, all we want to do is quickly reset the game settings and have our game up and running as soon as possible.

Resetting Settings in Sons of the Forest

There are two ways in which you can reset your game settings in Sons of the Forest. One is through the in-game settings while the other is with configuring game files.

When you are in the game, go to settings and you will notice that each subcategory has its own “Reset” button at the bottom part of the screen. Press that button and you will return your game to its default settings for that subcategory.

Another great thing about resetting game settings in Sons of the Forest is the fact that you can do it without even running the game. All you have to do is open the Command Prompt (Windows key + R), type in “appdata” and press Enter.

Go to the LocalLow folder, Endnight folder, and Sons of the Forest folder, and delete the “SonsGameSettings.cfg” file. When you run the game, it will create a new cfg (config) file and your settings will be reset to default.
