Where Are Thief II Save Files Located?
Thief II saves numbered slots in a SAVES folder, with config spread across cfg files and keybinds.
Last updated
Thief II stores saves as numbered files in a SAVES folder inside the install directory, starting at zero. Configuration spreads across cam.cfg files for settings and bind files for keys.
Fan mission saves live inside each mission's own folder rather than SAVES, which is the classic way to lose progress. Back up both locations before patching with NewDark or T2Fix, since patches touch the install tree. The Dark Save Manager exists precisely because slot juggling by hand gets old fast.
Where Thief II: The Metal Age stores this, by platform
<InstallDir>\SAVES\game*.sav
Numbered slot files (game0000.sav and up). Fan mission saves sit in each mission's folder instead. Copy both before patching.
<InstallDir>\cam.cfg
Settings (cam.cfg, cam_ext.cfg) and keybinds (user.bnd, cfg*.bnd) as plain text. Most modern-system fixes edit these files.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/211740/pfx/
Proton prefix for the Windows build (AppID 211740). The install-folder SAVES tree appears under the prefix's steamapps path.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move saves to a new PC?
Copy the SAVES folder to the new install. Slots and fan mission saves transfer directly; reapply NewDark or T2Fix afterward for modern system support.
