Where Are Starship Troopers: Extermination Save Files Located?
Starship Troopers: Extermination uses a standard Unreal Saved tree under LocalAppData. Windows path plus Proton notes.
Last updated
Extermination follows the standard Unreal Engine layout on PC. Settings and local data sit under LocalAppData in a StarshipTroopers tree, with Config for INI files and SaveGames for slots. GameUserSettings.ini is the file most guides point at for resolution and quality fixes.
The exact middle folder name can differ between builds, so treat the pattern as the target rather than gospel. Much of the persistent progress is online on your account, which leaves the local tree carrying options and cache. Copy it with the game closed, and let Steam Cloud merge on the new machine.
Where Starship Troopers: Extermination stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\StarshipTroopers\Saved\SaveGames
Local saves follow Unreal convention here. Settings sit in the sibling Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor folder. Exact folder casing may vary by build, so search LocalAppData for Starship when this path comes up empty. Progress is largely online.
<SteamLibrary>/steamapps/compatdata/1268750/pfx/
Steam Play prefix for app ID 1268750. The LocalAppData tree above is mirrored inside the prefix. If the game folder is absent there, check the prefix for a similarly named variant before assuming the install is broken.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Extermination config file?
In Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor beside SaveGames, usually GameUserSettings.ini for graphics and resolution. Edit with the game closed and keep a backup, since the game rewrites malformed files at defaults without asking.
Can I move my Extermination progress by copying files?
You can move settings and local cache that way. Trooper progression and unlocks reconcile with the servers under your account, so sign in on the new PC after copying. Keep Steam Cloud enabled and the transfer usually needs no manual step.
Why is there no StarshipTroopers folder in LocalAppData?
The game writes it on first run, so a fresh install shows nothing until you have launched once and closed cleanly. Store builds can also virtualize the path. Search LocalAppData for Starship rather than trusting one literal spelling.
