Where Are ENDLESS Legend 2 Save Files Located?
ENDLESS Legend 2 saves as .ctr files in Documents, with custom factions kept separately in the install folder.
Last updated
ENDLESS Legend 2 continues Amplitude's tradition of saving into Documents, in an Endless Legend 2 folder with .ctr save files. The extension is unusual but the habit is familiar to anyone coming from the first game.
Custom factions break the pattern. They live in a Persistent folder inside the Steam install directory, far from the saves. A migration that copies saves but forgets Persistent arrives without its custom empires, so both locations belong in every backup.
Where ENDLESS Legend 2 stores this, by platform
C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Endless Legend 2\Save Files
Saves as .ctr files. Custom factions live separately at [Steam]/steamapps/common/ENDLESS Legend 2/Amplitude Studios/Endless Legend 2/Persistent, so back that up too.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/3407390/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Endless Legend 2/Save Files
Proton prefix for Steam Deck and Linux desktops, app ID 3407390. The .ctr format moves across platforms untouched.
Frequently asked questions
Where are my ENDLESS Legend 2 custom factions?
In the Persistent folder inside the Steam install directory, not with the saves. Copy CustomFactions.xml when migrating or custom empires stay behind.
Can I move the ENDLESS Legend 2 save folder?
Yes with a directory junction. Move Save Files elsewhere, then link the old path to the new location with mklink /j. The game follows the link transparently.
