Where Does Beyond All Reason Store Saves and Config?
Beyond All Reason keeps saves, demos, and config inside its install data tree, with a Flatpak mirror on Linux.
Last updated
Beyond All Reason stores everything beside the game. An install data folder holds Saves for progress, demos for replays, screenshots, plus springsettings.cfg, config.json, and uikeys.txt for settings. Linux Flatpak builds mirror the same tree under their app ID.
No cloud sync exists, which makes the folder copy load bearing rather than optional. Copy it whole before reinstalls or drive moves. Hotkey customizations live in Lua files beside the configs, so take the full data tree rather than cherry picking saves.
Where Beyond All Reason stores this, by platform
<BARInstall>\data\Saves
Saves plus replays and screenshots in the install tree. Copy the whole data folder with the game closed. There is no cloud to fall back on.
<BARInstall>\data\springsettings.cfg
Settings across springsettings.cfg, config.json, and uikeys.txt beside the saves. Edit with the game closed. Hotkeys live in Lua files nearby.
~/.var/app/info.beyondallreason.bar/data/Saves
Flatpak mirror of the same tree under the app ID. Use this path only for the Flatpak install; other builds keep data beside the game.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Beyond All Reason to a new PC?
Copy the data folder to the same relative spot in the new install with the game closed. Saves, replays, and hotkeys travel together. No cloud exists, so the folder copy is the only backup.
Where is the Beyond All Reason config file?
Open springsettings.cfg, config.json, and uikeys.txt in the install data folder with a text editor. Graphics, account, and hotkey settings split across the three. Keep the originals before tweaking.
