Where Are Desperados III Save Files Located?
Desperados III saves sit in AppData\Local\Desperados III under a per store user folder, in gameState subfolders.
Last updated
Desperados III splits saves by storefront inside one local folder, the same scheme as Shadow Gambit from the same studio. Manual, quick and auto saves each get their own gameState subfolder.
Updates can orphan old saves when the format changes, though badges and unlocked levels survive. Error logs live separately in LocalLow, so bug reports want both folders attached.

Format changes between versions can break old saves while preserving badges and level unlocks. Continue from the offered checkpoint or replay the mission; the old files will not convert.
