League of Legends is one of the most popular games in the world, and as such, many players look to customize their experience by adjusting the game’s settings. However, sometimes it’s necessary to protect these settings from accidental changes or other users on the same computer. In this article, we’ll show you how to make the configuration files for League of Legends read-only.

Why Make Configuration Files Read-Only?

There are several reasons why you might want to protect your configuration files:

• Consistency in Gameplay Experience: If you’ve found a setup that maximizes your performance or comfort, you’ll want to ensure it doesn’t change.
• Prevent Accidental Changes: Other users on your computer might accidentally change the settings, affecting your gameplay.
• Game Stability: Some settings could cause performance or stability issues. Locking the configuration prevents these problems.

Steps to Make Configuration Files Read-Only

1. Locate the Configuration Folder

First, you need to find the folder where the League of Legends configuration files are stored. The default location is usually:

C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\Config

2. Find the Configuration File

Inside the Config folder, look for the file named game.cfg. This file contains most of the game’s settings.

3. Make the File Read-Only

To protect the game.cfg file from unwanted changes, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the game.cfg file.
2. Select Properties.
3. In the General tab, check the Read-only box.
4. Click Apply and then OK.

Repeat the Process for Other Files

If you also want to protect the control settings, you can repeat the same process for the input.ini file, which is located in the same Config folder.

Final Considerations

Remember that by making a file read-only, you won’t be able to change the game’s settings from the League of Legends client unless you uncheck the read-only option. If you need to make changes later, simply follow the same steps and uncheck the read-only box.

Protecting your configuration files is a great way to maintain your consistent gaming experience and avoid unexpected issues. We hope these steps have been helpful!
