Where Are Danganronpa Save Files Located?
Where Danganronpa keeps saves and launcher settings on PC and Mac, and why language switches hide slots.
Last updated
Danganronpa keeps live saves in the Documents tree on Windows with per language slot sets. A launcher ini shares the folder for startup options. Factory archives sit separately in the install folder per language.
Mac and Linux ports mirror the same layout under their own user folders with Steam DRM attached. Language specific saves explain most missing slot reports after switching text options. Back up the live folder rather than the install archives for progress. Class trial flags share the slot files, so partial copies load broken trials.
Where Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Danganronpa
Holds live saves plus the launcher ini. Slots are per language, so switching hides progress. Factory archives sit separately in the install folder.
~/Library/Application Support/Danganronpa
Same live saves under Application Support. Steam DRM required on this port. Copy the folder between OS paths for moves.
~/.local/share/Danganronpa
Same live saves under the XDG data home. Follows the spec rather than a config tree. Copy the folder between OS paths for moves.
Frequently asked questions
My Danganronpa saves vanished. Are they deleted?
Switch the game language back to the one the saves were made in. Each language keeps its own slot set, so switching hides rather than deletes progress. The launcher ini beside the saves records the active language choice.
How do I back up Danganronpa fully?
Copy the Documents game folder plus the per language archive files in the install tree. The archives hold factory state while the folder holds live progress. Keep both halves until the restored slots load on the new machine.
