Where Are Thank You Bus Driver Save Files Located?
Thank You Bus Driver keeps saves and settings in LocalAppData under ThankYouBusDriver, with progress in a single .sav file synced by Steam Cloud.
Last updated
Thank You Bus Driver keeps everything under %LOCALAPPDATA%\ThankYouBusDriver, a folder the game never mentions. It holds two things: a SaveGames folder with the actual progress, and a Saved\Config\Windows folder with settings, the usual Unreal split.
Progress is a single DefaultSaveSlot.sav tracking player level, completed runs, collected Thank Yous, and run history for each day variant. Steam Cloud mirrors the SaveGames folder on its own, so a crash or a bad write is usually recoverable by pulling the last synced copy and keeping the broken one aside until the game loads cleanly.
Where Thank You Bus Driver stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\ThankYouBusDriver\Saved\SaveGames
DefaultSaveSlot.sav holds all run progress: tutorial state, player level, Thank Yous, and run history. Steam Cloud syncs this folder on the SaveGames directory automatically.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/5067360/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/ThankYouBusDriver/Saved/SaveGames
Steam Deck and Linux installs run the Windows build through Proton, so the same tree appears inside the prefix for app ID 5067360.
Frequently asked questions
Where does Thank You Bus Driver store its settings?
In %LOCALAPPDATA%\ThankYouBusDriver\Saved\Config\Windows, where GameUserSettings.ini holds graphics, audio, resolution, and accessibility options. Most of the other .ini files in that folder arrive empty and stay that way, so the one file is worth finding.
Can I back up my Thank You Bus Driver progress?
Copy the SaveGames folder somewhere safe. DefaultSaveSlot.sav contains everything that matters, and Steam Cloud already keeps a copy, but a manual backup restores instantly if a write gets interrupted mid-run.
I switched PCs and my progress is gone. What happened?
Check that Steam Cloud finished syncing before you played on the new machine. If you played offline first, run the game once online and let Steam compare timestamps, then keep the newer save when it asks which copy to use.
