Where Are Total War Warhammer 3 Saves Located?
Total War Warhammer 3 save_games folder on Windows, macOS and Linux, plus replays, autosaves and the scripts settings file.
Last updated
Total War Warhammer 3 follows the Creative Assembly convention. Campaigns sit in AppData/Roaming/The Creative Assembly/Warhammer3/save_games with autosave, quicksave and named saves together. Battle replays land in a replays sibling, though old replays often desync after patches.
Preferences live one level up in scripts/preferences.script.txt, which controls graphics and camera options. Copy both trees with the game closed to migrate fully. Mod load orders from the launcher need rebuilding by hand on the new machine.
Where Total War: Warhammer 3 stores this, by platform
%appdata%\The Creative Assembly\Warhammer3\save_games
Paste into Run. Replays sit in the replays sibling, preferences in scripts. Copy the whole Warhammer3 folder to move campaigns plus settings.
~/Library/Application Support/The Creative Assembly/Warhammer3/save_games
Same internal layout as Windows. Use Go > Go to Folder in Finder. Feral ports may nest under Application Support/Feral Interactive instead.
~/.local/share/The Creative Assembly/Warhammer3/save_games
Native Linux builds use this XDG path. Proton installs mirror the Roaming tree under compatdata instead, so check there second.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up a Warhammer 3 campaign?
Close the game and copy the save_games folder elsewhere with a date in the name. Long mortal empires campaigns deserve a spare copy before every major patch.
Where are Warhammer 3 battle replays?
In the replays folder beside save_games. They depend on the exact patch version, so old replays often desync after updates even when campaigns load fine.
