Config file to reset video options

[OldNoob1967]

Cannot get Civ 6 to work in Windowed mode. Once you get past the Intro movie, either the mouse and keyboard interface stops working at the "Continue" screen or at the main menu screen. Game is not crashed, but cannot interact with the buttons.
Tried to uninstall and reinstall, but it kept the screen resolution settings so I cant revert to full screen.

You could try deleting Civilization VI folder from Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization VI as it does hold some graphics settings.
If you have save games you want to keep be sure to move the save folder to your desktop or somewhere safe from Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/Saves (replace them later once steam has reinstalled the folder and contents).
Then after the Civ VI folder is deleted from documents all you have to do is verify the Civ VI files in steam by right clicking the title in the library>properties>local files>verify integrity of game cache.
Let it run and once its complete it will of reinstalled Civ VI into documents again with default settings.Move your saves back start the game and test the resolution.This is only to fix your full screen issue,not the M and KB problem.

All the graphical options are stored in

My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\GraphicsOptions.txt

If you need to manually change something either delete the file or edit it direcctly

I cann't find such a file in fedora.

I found the config file:
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/289070/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/GraphicsOptions.txt

Had troubles with resolution being to big for monitor (after switching from big to small), leading to thread starters described behaviour
I found graphics options are stored here:

~/.local/share/aspyr-media/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/AppOptions.txt
...
;Render width in pixels.
RenderWidth 1920

;Render height in pixels.
RenderHeight 1080

;0 : windowed, 1 : fullscreen, 2 : windowed with no title bar
FullScreen 1
...

Anyhow, I deleted the complete aspyr-media directory, probably it is enough to delete/manipulate the AppOptions.txt. After that civ6 started properly again for me.

I'm having the exact same problem as described here, but I have not been able to find any files that are relevant to any of your posts or any others. Anyone have an idea what else could be wrong (and why I might not have those files?) I have freshly installed civ6 and had no help. The 2K support team hasn't been very helpful so far.

I just deleted AppOptions.txt in the folder directory:

Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI

After that everything worked properly again. It just resets the graphics settings and allows you to manually enter you graphics settings within the game.

Hi,

I actually used the Windows fiel search in the Windows Explorer and it found the file after a while:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI/AppOptions.txt

Hope that helps!

I was literally just trying to find this stupid config file on my Windows install based on the Mac file paths above. I am playing a LAN game, and we disconnected the laptops from our desktop monitors to use the built in display of our laptops on the sofa. Why is this game such trash lol. Thank you for posting the file location for Windows literally 7 hours ago so I could find this in a 6 year old thread.

10/10 game

I had this but couldn't find the files described as above. I eventually managed to fix this by opening the NVidia Geforce Experience app and Optimising the game so it opened with the correct resolution.

Also 10/10 game, spending 30 minutes trying to fix it so it works on boot really adds to the experience
