Where Are Thief 2014 Save Files Located?
Thief 2014 splits saves by store: Steam userdata, GOG Documents, and a Feral container on the Mac port.
Last updated
Thief 2014 stores Steam saves in userdata\<SteamID>\239160\remote, synced by Steam Cloud. GOG and Epic builds use Documents\My Games\Thief instead, so guides disagree depending on which store the author bought. Config lives in the install folder under ThiefGame\Config plus registry keys.
The Mac port keeps everything inside its Feral container, and Linux runs through Proton under app ID 239160. Match the save to its store build. A remote file dropped into the Documents tree will not even appear in the menu.
Where Thief stores this, by platform
<Steam>\userdata\<SteamID>\239160\remote
Steam Cloud copy under app 239160. GOG and Epic builds use Documents\My Games\Thief instead. Config in install ThiefGame\Config plus registry. Match saves to their store build.
~/Library/Containers/com.feralinteractive.thief/Data/Library/Application Support/Feral Interactive/Thief - Shadow Edition/VFS/Storage
Feral port storage inside the app container. Reach it through Finder with hidden files shown; the VFS Storage folder mirrors the Windows save tree.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/239160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Thief
Same Windows-relative layout inside the Proton prefix for app 239160. Steam Cloud carries saves between Windows and Linux.
Frequently asked questions
Can I move a Thief save from Steam to GOG?
Yes with a tool. The rgg-style converters do not apply here; saves differ per store build, so a Steam remote file needs conversion before the GOG build reads it. Manual folder copies across stores never work.
Where is the Thief config file?
Open the ThiefGame Config folder in the install directory for engine settings, and the registry under Eidos Montreal for the rest. Delete nothing blindly; back up first since a bad edit forces a settings reset.
