Settings

GameVault 1 has a single settings window, opened from the gear icon in the sidebar. It has one tab per topic: Application, Installation, User, Data, GameVault+, About and, once unlocked, Developer.

Application​

  • Startup: launch GameVault on computer startup, start in the system tray, load the library from the server on startup.
  • Theme: pick an installed theme, uninstall it, or open the theme folder. Community themes are installed from a repository; premium themes need GameVault+. See Themes.
  • Library: keep the sorting and filter preferences after a restart.

Installation​

  • Download bandwidth limit: cap the download speed.
  • Default extraction password: password for encrypted archives.
  • Download and installation folders: where the per-game folders are created; see data locations.
  • Auto-extract: unpack archives right after download.
  • Auto-install: install portable games automatically.
  • Auto-delete: remove the install files after a successful installation.

User​

  • Edit your user data.
  • Switch to another profile or log out of this device or all devices. Multiple profiles per installation are a GameVault+ feature.

Data​

  • Root directories: add or remove the folders GameVault uses; it creates a GameVault subfolder in each one.
  • Cache management: clear the image cache or the offline cache, with the current size shown next to each button.
  • Ignored executables: edit the ignore list that the playtime tracker and the executable picker use.
  • Help us improve: send anonymous usage reports.
