Where Are Company of Heroes 3 Save Files Located?
CoH3 keeps campaigns, replays and options in Documents under My Games. Save paths, config files, and Linux prefix.
Last updated
Company of Heroes 3 keeps its local state in Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes 3. The users subfolder holds per-profile savegames; configuration_system.lua and configuration_user.lua beside it hold system and player options. Replays and playback files sit in sibling folders. Copy the tree and campaigns move with it.
The series' recurring curse is the OneDrive split: local and cloud Documents copies diverge and the game reads only one, stranding progress in the other. Merge into the live copy and exclude the folder from backup. Older CoH titles used Savegames\RelicCOH nesting instead, so series guides need version-checking. Linux mirrors the layout inside the Proton prefix for app ID 1677280.

Your Documents folder is split between local and OneDrive copies, a CoH series tradition. The game reads one while your files sit in the other. Compare both Documents locations, merge into the copy the game actually reads, and exclude the folder from OneDrive backup to stop the split recurring.
