Frequently asked questions
What file type are Rogue Trader saves?
Saves are .zks archives in Saved Games. Copy them complete. Do not unzip them for normal backup. Unpack only when repairing headers or converting from another store build.
Can I move saves between PCs?
Yes. Close the game, copy the .zks files to the same Saved Games path on the new PC, then launch and load once. Confirm the same DLC set is installed if a save reports missing content.
