Where Are The Bard's Tale IV: Director's Cut Save Files Located?

The Director's Cut save folder on PC, in Unreal layout under a BardsTale4DC folder.

Last updated

The Director's Cut saves in Local AppData under the spaceless BardsTale4DC project folder, with standard Unreal SaveGames below. The original Barrows Deep release was delisted, so this path covers the version anyone can actually buy.

Steam Cloud mirrors the tree for current owners. Copy SaveGames before the final dungeon crawls, since bard parties wipe with musical finality.

Frequently asked questions

Does this cover the original Barrows Deep release?

The path is for the Director's Cut, which replaced the original on Steam. Prior owners were upgraded automatically, so this is the folder to use.

How do I back up Bard's Tale IV?

Copy the SaveGames folder while the game is closed. Every guild member and dungeon map travels inside it.
