Where Are Anachronox Save Files Located?
The Anachronox save slots on PC, in a SAVE folder inside the install directory's anoxdata tree.
Last updated
Anachronox predates user folders entirely and saves in a SAVE directory inside its own install tree, with nine slots waiting. Modern Steam Cloud syncs the old files, which is a strange and lovely collision of eras.
Program Files installs without elevation redirect writes to VirtualStore, a classic trap for classics. Check both spots if Sylvester's crew reports for duty short handed.
Where Anachronox stores this, by platform
<SteamLibrary>\steamapps\common\Anachronox\anoxdata\SAVE
Inside the install folder starting from your Steam library root. Nine slots share the SAVE directory. Without admin rights Windows may redirect to VirtualStore instead.
Frequently asked questions
How many Anachronox save slots are there?
Nine, all inside the anoxdata SAVE folder. Copy the folder to back up every slot at once.
My Anachronox saves vanished on modern Windows. Why?
A VirtualStore redirect is the likely cause. Check %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore for a shadow copy of the SAVE folder.
