Where Are Nightingale Save Files Located?
Nightingale stores offline characters in a folder called NWX. Where the live saves and the automatic weekly backups sit.
Last updated
Nightingale local files live under LocalAppData in a folder named NWX, short for the game's internal title. Online characters lived on Inflexion servers, and moving to offline play meant downloading them into this folder first.
Day to day saves sit in the Offline subfolder and rolling backups sit in OfflineBackup, up to about a week back. Copying the whole Saved directory to a USB stick is the proven way to move to a new PC.
Where Nightingale stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\NWX\Saved
Offline holds live characters and realms, OfflineBackup holds dated copies. Paste the path into the Run dialog to jump there. Copy the entire Saved folder for migration, then overwrite the same folder on the new machine.
Frequently asked questions
how do i move Nightingale to a new pc?
Copy %LOCALAPPDATA%\NWX\Saved onto a USB stick and overwrite the same folder on the new PC after installing. Several players report Steam Cloud alone did not carry offline characters over.
my realm broke after an update, can i roll back?
Check OfflineBackup for the most recent day the world was intact and copy those files over the Offline folder. Back up the current Offline folder first so a bad restore does not cost you both copies.
