Where Are SpellForce 3 Save Files Located?
SpellForce 3 saves live in a save folder inside the install directory, so back them up before reinstalling.
Last updated
SpellForce 3 breaks modern convention and saves inside its own install folder, in a plain save directory. Uninstalling deletes your campaigns along with the game, which surprises everyone once.
Back up that folder before any reinstall, move or verify operation. Steam Cloud syncs the same files, but the local folder is the copy you control when sync disagrees.
Where SpellForce 3 stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SpellForce 3\save
Saves inside the install tree, not AppData or Documents. Copy the save folder elsewhere before uninstalling, verifying files, or moving libraries.
