Where Are StarVaders Save Files Located?
The StarVaders save folder on PC, with run data in a saves subfolder under Pengonauts in LocalLow.
Last updated
StarVaders keeps runs in a lowercase saves folder under the Pengonauts studio directory in LocalLow. The nesting runs one level deeper than most Unity games, which is why the folder hides from casual searching.
Steam Cloud mirrors the same tree, so progress usually follows you between machines. When it does not, the local saves folder is the copy that counts, and copying it manually settles the dispute.
Where StarVaders stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Pengonauts\StarVaders\saves
Unity LocalLow location with an extra saves level at the bottom. Steam Cloud syncs this tree. Note the lowercase folder name when typing the path by hand.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I find a StarVaders folder in Documents?
It is not there. The game uses AppData LocalLow under Pengonauts\StarVaders\saves, never Documents or Roaming.
How do I move StarVaders progress to a new PC?
Copy the saves folder into the same location on the new machine before launching. Steam Cloud normally handles this, but the manual copy wins when sync conflicts.
