Where is the settings file located?

The settings.xml is found in C:\Users\[YourWindowsUsername]\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V


The settings.xml is in (Copy-paste): %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V

I store my profile on a different drive.

USERPROFILE is a system environment variable pointing to a user's profile directory (Settings, Documents, Music, Photos, Desktop) More:%USERPROFILE%
