Where Are Dune: Awakening Save Files Located?
Dune Awakening local save and config folders on PC, and why most of your progress is not in them.
Last updated
Dune: Awakening stores local client data under %LOCALAPPDATA%\DuneSandbox\Saved. The Cloud subfolder holds character and client cache, while Saved\Config\WindowsClient holds graphics and input settings.
Treat those files as cache, not as your character. This is an online survival game, so bases and progression live server side on your Funcom account. Copying local files never restores a wiped character. A second Documents\DuneAwakening folder seen in some installs has no consistently documented role, so exact contents may vary by version.
Where Dune: Awakening stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\DuneSandbox\Saved
Cloud subfolder holds character and client cache; Saved\Config\WindowsClient holds settings. Steam Cloud covers the local files (AppID 1172710), but real progression is server side. No native Linux or Mac build exists.
Frequently asked questions
Will copying my Saved folder restore my base after a server wipe?
No. Bases, characters and progression live on Funcom servers tied to your account. Local files hold cache and settings only, so always check your Funcom account and server status before assuming files are the problem.
What is the Documents\DuneAwakening folder for?
Its role is inconsistently documented and seems to differ between installs. The reliable location is %LOCALAPPDATA%\DuneSandbox\Saved. If the Documents folder is empty on your machine, that is normal.
