Where Are DUSK Save Files Located?
Where DUSK keeps saves inside its install folder on PC, plus Steam Cloud mirrors and the HD split.
Last updated
DUSK saves inside its install folder at <GameDir>\saves, with Steam userdata for app 519860 mirroring when cloud sync runs. The DUSK HD episode keeps a separate saves folder inside its DLC tree.
Install relative saves carry the familiar warning: uninstalls and verifications threaten progress, so copy the folder out first. When swapping community saves, mind hidden flags and leave the autocloud marker file in place. The HD episode nests one level deeper. The marker belongs to Steam.
Where DUSK stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dusk\saves
Episode saves and config here, not in AppData. Reach it via Steam Library > Right click > Manage > Browse local files. DUSK HD saves sit separately under DLC\DUSK HD\saves in the same install.
Frequently asked questions
how do i back up dusk saves
Copy the saves folder out of the install directory (steamapps\common\Dusk\saves) before touching anything. The whole game state sits there, so one folder is the whole backup. Paste it back after reinstalling; verifications can wipe it.
does dusk use steam cloud
In Steam userdata for app 519860, mirroring the install folder saves when cloud sync runs. The live files stay in the install tree, so treat userdata as a fallback. DUSK HD keeps its own saves subfolder inside the DLC tree.
why wont my custom dusk save load
Keep saves out of hidden or system flagged folders and leave steam_autocloud.vdf alone when swapping files. Hidden flags on custom saves block loading with no error message. The guide community learned this through trial and error.
