Where Are This War of Mine Saves Located?
This War of Mine keeps saves and encrypted configs together in an 11bitstudios folder per OS, plus Steam Cloud.
Last updated
This War of Mine merges saves and settings in one folder: Roaming 11bitstudios This War Of Mine on Windows, Library Application Support on Mac, and a dot folder in home on Linux. Config files there are encrypted, so hand editing is out.
Steam Cloud mirrors the same tree under app 282070 remote. Multi user Windows PCs trip on font installs instead: copy the installer Documents This War of Mine folder to the playing account when menus vanish. Back up the whole data folder before story DLC switches.
Where This War of Mine stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\11bitstudios\This War Of Mine

Same combined layout as Windows. Copy the whole folder for migration between Macs.
~/.This War of Mine
Dot folder in home, outside XDG conventions. Same saves plus configs interior as other platforms.
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit This War of Mine config files?
No, they are encrypted. Change settings in game menus only. For resolution faults outside menus, replace the config with a known good copy from the same folder backup.
Why are menus invisible on a second Windows account?
Fonts installed under the first account. Copy that account Documents This War of Mine folder into the playing account Documents to restore menu glyphs.
