Is there a way to get the directory that the game’s .exe file is?

Something like Globals.globalize_path("res://") should do the trick.

In Godot 3.2 you can use OS.get_executable_path() to get the path of exe file (including the exe filename and extension). If you want to get only the directory use OS.get_executable_path().get_base_dir()
