Where Are MechWarrior 5 Saves Located?
MechWarrior 5 SavedGames folder on PC under Documents My Games.
Last updated
MechWarrior 5 keeps mercenary-company saves under Documents My Games in an MW5Mercs tree, following Unreal Engine conventions with a SavedGames subfolder.
This covers Steam, GOG and Epic copies alike. DLC careers (Clans is a separate game) use their own trees, so check the exact folder name on your install.
Where MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\MW5Mercs\Saved\SavedGames
Per-slot .sav files inside; folder naming can vary slightly between storefronts, so search My Games for MW5 if the exact path differs. Configs sit in Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor beside it. Copy saves with the game closed.
Frequently asked questions
Does MechWarrior 5 use Steam Cloud?
No reliable cloud sync, so manual backups of the folder above are the only safety net. Copy it before reinstalls.
Where are MechWarrior 5 graphics settings?
In Saved\Config beside SavedGames above. Deleting GameUserSettings.ini there resets graphics to defaults.
