Where Are Pathfinder: Kingmaker Save Files Located?
Where Kingmaker keeps saves and logs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, straight from Owlcat support.
Last updated
Kingmaker stores saves under a studio named folder: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Kingmaker\Saved Games on Windows. Owlcat documents this path on its own support pages, and macOS and Linux use the equivalent roots.
A GameLogFull.log sits beside the saves and matters more than most log files, since Owlcat support requests it with every bug report. Back up the whole Pathfinder Kingmaker folder rather than cherry picking slots; the log and the saves travel as a pair.
Where Pathfinder: Kingmaker stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Kingmaker\Saved Games
One folder per save plus the GameLogFull.log beside them. AppData is hidden, so paste the path into Explorer. GOG and Steam builds share it, since the folder belongs to the game rather than the store.
~/Library/Application Support/Owlcat Games/Pathfinder Kingmaker/Saved Games
Same saves and log layout under Application Support. Finder hides Library; use Go > Go to Folder. Saves copy cleanly between Mac and PC, so cross platform moves just work.
~/.config/unity3d/Owlcat Games/Pathfinder Kingmaker/Saved Games
Proton runs use the Windows shaped tree under compatdata/516520. Native installs follow ~/.config/unity3d/Owlcat Games/Pathfinder Kingmaker/Saved Games instead. Check whichever tree has recent timestamps.
Frequently asked questions
how do i move kingmaker saves to a new pc
Copy the Saved Games folder to the same path on the new machine with the game closed. Cloud sync may also carry them, but the folder copy is certain and keeps chapter order intact. Verify files on Steam first so a fresh folder exists.
where is the kingmaker log file
In GameLogFull.log beside the Saved Games folder (one level up in the same Owlcat tree). Support asks for this file plus the save when a quest breaks. It rewrites every launch, so grab it right after the bug happens.
where are kingmaker saves on linux
Yes for the save files. Linux runs through Proton with the identical Windows shaped tree under compatdata/516520, while native depot files follow the unity3d config path. Either way the folder name stays Owlcat Games.
