Where Are Pacific Drive Save Files Located?

Pacific Drive saves hide in a folder named PenDriverPro, its old project name. The Windows path and how its automatic backups work.

Last updated

Pacific Drive save folders carry the game's development codename, PenDriverPro, instead of the release title. That is the whole mystery: everyone looks for Pacific Drive in AppData and finds nothing.

Slot saves are odsave files with numbered names, and recent patches keep two timestamped backups of each. You can also tune how many backups the game keeps from GameUserSettings.ini in the Config folder one level up.

Where Pacific Drive stores this, by platform

Windows
%LOCALAPPDATA%\PenDriverPro\Saved\SaveGames

odsave1.sav and friends are the slots, odsave_scratch.sav is working state, and odsave1-backup files are automatic restore points. Config sits in PenDriverPro\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor.

Frequently asked questions

why is there no Pacific Drive folder in AppData?

The folder kept the pre release project name PenDriverPro. Paste %LOCALAPPDATA%/PenDriverPro/Saved/SaveGames into the Run dialog and it opens directly.

how do i restore a Pacific Drive backup save?

Turn off Steam Cloud first so it does not fight you. Delete odsave1.sav, rename the backup you want to odsave1.sav, launch and check, then re enable Cloud. Keep a manual copy elsewhere before you start.
