Where Are Risk of Rain 2 Save Files Located?
Risk of Rain 2 XML profiles in Steam userdata, and the rename fix for corrupt 0 KB files.
Last updated
Risk of Rain 2 stores each in game profile as one XML file with a random GUID name under <Steam>\userdata\[Steam-ID]\632360\remote\UserProfiles. Unlock progress and settings share those files; run history is disposable.
Corruption shows as a 0 KB XML that blocks Continue entirely. The community fix is creating a fresh profile, then renaming the old file to the new filename so the game accepts it. Graphics and keybind defaults also mirror into the HKCU Hopoo registry key. Disable Steam Cloud before surgery or it restores the deleted profile.
Where Risk of Rain 2 stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[Steam-ID]\632360\remote\UserProfiles\
[Steam-ID] is your numeric Steam account ID (AppID 632360). One GUID named XML per profile; back up the whole folder. Defaults mirror in HKCU\Software\Hopoo Games, LLC\Risk of Rain 2. No native Linux or Mac build exists.
Frequently asked questions
Risk of Rain 2 Continue is greyed out. How do I fix it?
Check UserProfiles for a 0 KB XML: that corrupt file blocks loading. Make a new profile, rename the old file to the new filename, and relaunch. Disable Steam Cloud first so it cannot restore the corrupt copy.
How do I move Risk of Rain 2 unlocks to another PC?
Copy the whole UserProfiles folder into userdata 632360\remote with Steam closed, keeping filenames intact. Unlocks travel in those XML files, not in the registry.
