Where Are Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Save Files Located?
Sparking Zero saves inside the install folder, not userdata, plus the AppID mixup to avoid.
Last updated
Sparking Zero breaks the Capcom pattern: real saves live in the install tree at <Steam>\steamapps\common\DRAGON BALL Sparking! ZERO\SaveGame\[Steam-ID], with MainGameSaveData and SystemSaveData inside. Config and Engine.ini tweaks sit apart in %LOCALAPPDATA%\SparkingZERO\Saved\Config\Windows.
Because saves ride with the install, uninstalling without a backup deletes them outright; Steam Cloud will not rescue you the way userdata games do. Also note the AppID: verified sources give 1790600, and guides citing 1794960 point lookups at the wrong compatdata folder.
Where Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DRAGON BALL Sparking! ZERO\SaveGame\[Steam-ID]\
[Steam-ID] is your numeric Steam account ID (AppID 1790600, not 1794960). MainGameSaveData plus SystemSaveData here. Config in %LOCALAPPDATA%\SparkingZERO\Saved\Config\Windows. No native Linux or Mac build exists.
Frequently asked questions
Does uninstalling Sparking Zero delete my saves?
Yes, unless you back up first. Saves live inside the install folder rather than userdata, so Steam removes them with the game. Copy the SaveGame ID folder out before uninstalling.
What is the correct Sparking Zero Steam AppID?
1790600, per SteamDB and PCGamingWiki. The 1794960 number in some guides is wrong and sends userdata or Proton prefix lookups to a nonexistent folder.
