Where Are Hob's Barrow Save Files Located?
Hob's Barrow keeps saves and its AGS config in a Saved Games folder, with Steam and GOG clouds mirroring the same tree.
Last updated
Hob's Barrow is an Adventure Game Studio title, and the folder shows it. Saves plus the acsetup.cfg config sit in a Saved Games folder named for the game. AGS conventions put everything in one place.
The frame rate lock surprises technical players. The game runs at 40 FPS by design, which is not a performance problem to fix. Copy the folder whole before reinstalls, since cloud restores lag the live files by a sync cycle.
