Where Are Dredge Save Files Located?
Dredge files slot saves with .bak companions in a Black Salt Games folder, split per storefront underneath.
Last updated
Black Salt Games sorts Dredge saves by store first. Steam, Epic, and GOG builds each write into their own subfolder under the company directory, with slot files plus automatic .bak copies inside.
Slot files count from zero in binary form, so the first campaign is the save0 pair. Support asks for the whole folder plus DxDiag when saves misbehave at the dock. Copying pairs preserves both progress and its safety net.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up one fishing run?
Copy the .bin file for your slot plus its .bak companion. Slot numbers count up from zero, so save1 in game is the next pair. Keep both files together or the restore point vanishes.
Can I move saves between storefronts?
Epic, GOG, and Steam each get a subfolder with identical file shapes inside. Move files between matching subfolders, never across storefront roots. The game reads only its own branch.
