Where Are Loop Hero Save Files Located?
Loop Hero saves per user ID folder in AppData Local on Windows, with Mac and Linux ports using their own platform paths.
Last updated
Loop Hero stores saves locally first and syncs second. Windows builds write into AppData Local under Loop_hero, inside one folder per user ID, as loop_save files with .bk backup siblings. Mac builds use an Application Support domain path, Linux builds use .config.
Cloud sync for this game has a long record of overwriting good saves with old ones. The safe order is back up the folder by hand, fix or restore locally, and only then let Cloud sync. Auto reruns of the game consume the .bk chain, so stop launching once corruption appears.
Where Loop Hero stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Loop_hero
User ID subfolder varies. loop_save files are runs, .bk siblings are auto backups. Turn off Cloud before restoring or it reverts your fix.
~/Library/Application Support/com.devolverdigital.loophero
Mac specific domain path rather than a mirrored Windows one. Same user ID folder layout and .bk backup scheme inside.
~/.config/Loop_hero
Native Linux path. Proton builds instead mirror the Windows path inside the compatdata prefix for app ID 1282730.
Frequently asked questions
My Loop Hero save is corrupted. How do I use the backups?
Copy a .bk or bk1 file over the matching loop_save file after backing the folder up. Then disable Cloud so the service stops restoring the broken copy.
Steam Cloud shows sync failed for Loop Hero. What fixes it?
Delete remotecache.vdf under userdata for app ID 1282730 and restart Steam. The devs posted this exact fix for the stuck sync failed warning.
Where are Loop Hero saves on Steam Deck?
Use the Proton prefix path below on Deck and desktop Linux. Native builds instead use the .config path, so check which install type you run first.
