Where Are Killing Floor 2 Save Files Located?
Killing Floor 2 save handling on Windows, server side perks plus the local Documents config tree explained.
Last updated
Killing Floor 2 splits progress from preferences. Perks and stats live server side on the Steam stats feed, so any fresh install shows the same levels after login. Steam discussions confirm reinstalls lose nothing.
Settings live locally in Documents/My Games/KillingFloor2/KFGame/Config. That split explains backup confusion: copying Config saves options, never perks. Keep the folder writable or the game cannot persist changes. Workshop mods in the install tree load separately from both systems. Match subscriptions across the lobby.
Where Killing Floor 2 stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\KillingFloor2\KFGame\Config
Server side perks via Steam stats, local options in Documents My Games tree. Copy Config for settings only. Keep it writable.
Frequently asked questions
Can I back up my KF2 perks by hand?
No. Perks, levels and inventory sync through Steam stats on every login. Fresh installs pull the same profile automatically. Only a local mod that caches levels behaves differently.
Where are my graphics settings?
Open Documents/My Games/KillingFloor2/KFGame/Config with the game closed. Keep the Config folder writable or settings refuse to stick. Back it up before wiping for crashes.
