Where Are Ib Save Files Located?
The Ib remake saves RPG Maker files inside the Steam install folder under www save, with config beside them. Cloud mirrors the tree.
Last updated
The Ib remake stores saves where RPG Maker MV always puts them: inside the game install folder under www save. Slot files, a global file and a config file share that tree as compressed JSON.
Install-folder saves mean library moves carry progress along, and Cloud mirrors the same files per account. Deletions that resurrect themselves are Cloud doing its job. Clear Cloud state first when a genuine restart is the goal.
Where Ib stores this, by platform
<SteamLibrary>\steamapps\common\Ib\www\save
Slot saves plus global and config rpgsave files in the install tree, varying with the Steam library location. Cloud mirrors per account. Copy whole with the game closed.
<SteamLibrary>/steamapps/compatdata/1901370/pfx/
Steam Play prefix for App ID 1901370. The install-tree saves mirror inside the prefix drive. Same Cloud repopulation behavior applies on Deck and Linux.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Ib remake saves?
Copy the whole <Steam>\steamapps\common\Ib\www\save folder with the game closed. Slot files plus global and config saves travel together. Deleting the folder forces a fresh start only when Steam Cloud sync is also cleared.
Deleted Ib saves keep coming back. Why?
They repopulate from Cloud. Users report wiped folders returning on launch because Auto-Cloud restores them. Disable Cloud for App ID 1901370 first, then delete locally for a true reset.
Do classic Ib guides apply to the remake?
Two different engines across eras. The 2022 remake runs RPG Maker MV with rpgsave files in the install tree, while older builds used other layouts. Quote only the remake paths for current installs.
