Where Are Mist Survival Save Files Located?
Mist Survival keeps Unreal saves under LocalAppData MistSurv with version drift across updates here.
Last updated
Mist Survival is an Unreal game at Steam AppID 914620 with a renamed save folder history. Current builds use MistSurv under LocalAppData with SaveGames inside. Config sits beside saves under Saved. Old spellings linger on disk after updates. That history explains empty looking folders.
Version drift is the gotcha. Guides from different years name different folders and all look authoritative. Check every historical spelling before declaring a world lost. Steam Cloud does not paper over the renames. Copy with the game closed and check slots inside the game after restore.
Where Mist Survival stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\MistSurv\Saved\SaveGames

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Mist Survival saves?
Copy %LOCALAPPDATA%\MistSurv\Saved\SaveGames with the game closed. Config sits beside it under Saved Config. Old installs may use MistSurv, Mist21 or MistSurvival spellings; check all three.
Why is my Mist Survival save folder empty?
A 2018 update renamed the folder from MistSurv to Mist21 and later builds standardized again. Six slot era saves use MistSurvival. If the live folder looks empty, the worlds are in a legacy spelling.
