Are my settings saved if i Uninstall then Reinstall?

Hi. I don’t speak here much. But i’m getting a SSD on Monday and i wanted to know if I uninstall Overwatch then Re-install it on the SSD if all my settings would be saved

Yep. I’ve done it a number of times (and even more with OW2). Whenever I reinstall my control settings are there. Your video settings used to reset in OW1 if memory serves, but I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled a bunch of times with OW2 and it seemed to retain everything.

If you want to be on the safe side, go to your documents folder
which should be something like C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Overwatch\Settings

Then make a copy of the Settings_v0.ini just in case.

Graphic settings are saved locally as the guy above said.

Character settings like hotkeys and sensitivity are saved server-side.

Yes, but just in case you can copy the documents folder’s Overwatch folder.
