Where Are Afterimage Save Files Located?

Afterimage saves live in AppData\Local\Afterimage\Saved\SaveGames as numbered GameSave files per slot.

Last updated

Afterimage uses the Unreal Saved layout with slot files named GameSave plus a number and .aisav extension. Five slots map to five files, so sharing a run means handing over one file.

Speedrunners trade these files directly with one ritual: rename the downloaded file to an empty slot's name before launching. Matching an existing filename overwrites that slot with no confirmation.

Where Afterimage stores this, by platform

Windows
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Afterimage\Saved\SaveGames

GameSave1 through GameSave5 per slot. Config sits in Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor. Back up with the game closed.

Linux
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1701520/pfx/

Proton prefix, app ID 1701520. The Afterimage Saved tree is mirrored under drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local.

Frequently asked questions

Rename it to GameSave plus an empty slot number with .aisav extension and drop it in SaveGames. Launching with a duplicate name overwrites that slot, so pick carefully.

where is the afterimage config file

In Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor as Engine.ini and GameUserSettings.ini. Stutter fixes usually target Engine.ini with the game closed.
