Where Are Anno 1800 Save Files Located?
Anno 1800 accounts save folder in Documents, the config beside it, and how Ubisoft Connect cloud fits around local files.
Last updated
Anno 1800 keeps saves in an accounts folder under Documents, one numbered profile subfolder per Ubisoft account. The same parent holds config files and a screenshots folder, so one backup of the Anno 1800 tree covers nearly everything.
Ubisoft Connect syncs saves to its cloud on top of these local files, and the Steam version still launches through Ubisoft Connect. If local and cloud disagree, the launcher prompts before overwriting. Manual saves also pay off before big mod or DLC changes, which can strand a campaign.
Where Anno 1800 stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Anno 1800\accounts
Each account gets a numbered subfolder. Engine config sits in the config sibling, screenshots in screenshots. Back up the whole Anno 1800 folder, not just accounts.
Frequently asked questions
Does Anno 1800 on Steam store saves differently?
No. Steam launches the game through Ubisoft Connect and saves land in the same Documents accounts folder. Cloud sync runs through Ubisoft, not Steam, so check the Ubisoft launcher when saves look stale.
Can I move Anno 1800 saves to another PC?
Yes. Copy the numbered account subfolder into accounts on the target machine with the game closed and the same Ubisoft account logged in. Matching DLC matters; a save using missing DLC will not load.
