Where Are Binary Domain Save Files Located?
Binary Domain keeps saves in a savedata folder inside the install, plus Steam userdata cloud copies.
Last updated
Binary Domain stores saves in a savedata folder inside the install directory, with user config (UserCFG.txt) beside it. Steam Cloud mirrors progress under userdata app ID 203750, so two copies exist on most machines.
The split confuses backups. Copy the install savedata for settings and the userdata tree for cloud progress, with the game closed both times. Linux installs keep the same install-relative tree natively. Config edits belong in the external tool, not by hand, since the file is picky.
Where Binary Domain stores this, by platform
<Steam>\steamapps\common\Binary Domain\savedata
Progress plus UserCFG.txt in the install tree; cloud mirror under userdata 203750. Back up both sides with the game closed. Use the external config tool for graphics changes.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Binary Domain/savedata
Same install-relative savedata in the native Linux library. The userdata cloud mirror syncs the same way as Windows.
Frequently asked questions
Which Binary Domain folder do I back up?
Back up both. The install savedata holds progress while userdata 203750 holds the cloud mirror. Copying only one side invites a sync fight that rolls progress back.
The game says the graphics device is invalid on launch. How do I fix it?
Open the external configuration tool and re-save your adapter and resolution, even unchanged. The invalid-device error means the stored adapter no longer matches, and a re-save rewrites it.
