Where Are Outlast 2 Save Files Located?
Outlast 2 runs Unreal Engine 3 with config and saves under Documents My Games Outlast2, plus a Cloud mirror. Not UE4.
Last updated
Outlast 2 runs older tech than its looks suggest. Unreal Engine 3 foundations carry config inis with field-of-view and smoothing flags plus SaveData progression. Logs branch beside both.
Cloud mirrors per account while GOG stays local-only. Sequel numbering splits folders and App IDs cleanly from the original. Copy whole trees per title without crossing them.

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Outlast2\OLGame

What engine does Outlast 2 use?
Unreal Engine 3, the last hurrah build per technical analysis. Same foundation as the original with matching folder shapes. Guides claiming UE4 describe the wrong engine.
Is this the Outlast 1 path?
They diverge by sequel number in folder and App ID alike. The original uses Outlast paths with its own Cloud tree while the sequel mirrors under Outlast2. Never transplant between them.
