Where Are Rome II Save Files Located?
Rome II saves in AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2\save_games. Mod packs load from the data folder.
Last updated
Rome II uses the same Creative Assembly tree as every Total War: Roaming, company folder, game folder, saves inside. A decade of patches never moved it.
Returning players hit stale preferences most. Old resolutions and GPU flags break launches on new hardware. Wipe the script file and the game rebuilds it clean.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Rome II campaigns?
Copy the Rome2 folder under The Creative Assembly. Saves and preferences travel together. Mods reinstall from workshop.
Game crashes on launch after years away. Fix?
Delete preferences.script.txt and relaunch. Ten-year-old display settings cause most modern launch failures.
Where are Rome II mods?
Workshop mods arrive in steamapps/workshop/content/214510. Manual packs drop into the game Data folder with manager enablement.
