Where Are Silent Hill f Save Files Located?
Silent Hill f saves to LocalAppData under an SHf folder with your SteamID inside. Path, config file, and Linux prefix.
Last updated
Silent Hill f is a standard Unreal Engine game with saves in the standard Unreal place: LocalAppData\SHf\Saved\SaveGames, inside a folder named with your numeric Steam ID. The .sav files there are your slots, and engine config sits one level up under Saved\Config\Windows, led by GameUserSettings.ini.
Deluxe owners get a second tree, SHf_BonusContent, mirroring the same shape for the pre-order extras. Do not merge the two by hand; the game treats them as separate profiles. Like its remake sibling, f keeps saves local, so the numeric folder is your backup unit. Linux mirrors the layout inside the Proton prefix for app ID 2947440.
Where Silent Hill f stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\SHf\Saved\SaveGames\[ID]
[ID] is your numeric Steam ID folder holding the .sav slot files. Engine config lives at %LOCALAPPDATA%\SHf\Saved\Config\Windows\GameUserSettings.ini. Deluxe extras use the parallel SHf_BonusContent tree. Back up the whole numeric folder before modding or editing saves.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2947440/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/SHf/Saved/SaveGames/[ID]
The Windows layout mirrored inside the Proton prefix, where 2947440 is the game's Steam app ID. Some installs use ~/.steam/steam instead of ~/.local/share/Steam. Config mirrors under .../drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/SHf/Saved/Config in the same prefix.
Frequently asked questions
can i edit silent hill f saves
Yes, but back up first. The Nexus save editor opens the .sav files in your numeric folder and adjusts difficulty, health, items and stats. It is still experimental, so copy the whole numeric folder aside before editing. A bad edit corrupts the slot, not the game.
what is the shf_bonuscontent folder
That is the Hospital bonus content profile. SHf_BonusContent mirrors the main SHf folder for the deluxe extras, with its own SaveGames and Config. Your main campaign saves stay in SHf. Leave both alone unless you know which profile you are fixing.
where are silent hill f saves on steam deck
In Desktop mode the layout is mirrored inside the Proton prefix for app ID 2947440: .../pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/SHf/Saved/SaveGames. The Microsoft Store version uses a sandboxed packages path instead, so this entry covers Steam copies.
