Where Are Absolver Save Files Located?
Where Absolver keeps character saves and ini settings on PC, and how the backup slot rescues corrupt runs.
Last updated
Absolver keeps characters as named files in its Unreal SaveGames tree on Windows. Each fighter gets a main file plus an automatic backup with a numbered suffix. A small list file tracks the roster beside them.
Config lives in the sibling Config tree as plain ini files, including the frame rate cap people edit most. Saves and settings share one parent, so copying the Absolver folder moves both. Restore with Cloud off to stop an overwrite. Combat deck layouts ride inside the same character file, so no separate deck backup exists.
Where Absolver stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Absolver\Saved\SaveGames
Holds named character files plus numbered automatic backups and the roster list. Config sits beside it in Saved Config WindowsNoEditor. Pause Steam Cloud during restores.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up my Absolver character?
Copy the entire SaveGames folder with the game closed. Keep each character file together with its numbered backup twin. Steam Cloud mirrors this tree, so pause sync while restoring or the cloud copy returns.
My Absolver save shows as invalid. How do I fix it?
Close the game, disable Steam Cloud, then copy the numbered backup over the main character file. The dash one suffix marks the automatic copy. Relaunch once before re enabling sync so the fixed file becomes canonical.
