Where Are FlatOut 2 Save Files Located?
FlatOut 2 keeps career and config in a Savegame folder inside the install directory, with Proton and store clouds around it.
Last updated
FlatOut 2 predates modern save conventions. Career progress and the device config sit in a Savegame folder inside the install directory, next to the game files. Find the install folder first through the store client, then open Savegame.
Program Files installs can trigger VirtualStore redirection, which silently moves writes into LocalAppData. If saves vanish, check the VirtualStore mirror before assuming loss. Deleting device.cfg resets graphics without touching the career, which fixes most startup issues.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move FlatOut 2 saves to a new PC?
Copy the Savegame folder to the same relative spot in the new install with the game closed. Career and device config travel together. Modern store builds add cloud mirrors, but the folder copy is exact.
FlatOut 2 fails to start or resets resolution. What fixes it?
Delete device.cfg inside the Savegame folder with the game closed, then relaunch with the setup flag to reconfigure. Corrupt graphics settings cause most launch failures, and this reset fixes them.
Where are FlatOut 2 saves on Steam Deck or Linux?
Use the Proton prefix with app ID 2990. The install relative Savegame folder is mirrored inside it. Cloud copies may also sit under userdata for the same ID.
