Where Are Umineko Save Files Located?
Where Umineko keeps stock saves versus modded mysav files on PC, and how Steam Cloud fits into backup plans.
Last updated
Umineko keeps saves inside its own install folder rather than any user directory. Stock builds write a saves folder while 07th Mod builds write a mysav folder beside it. Steam Cloud syncs whichever tree the build uses.
Uninstalling removes both folders with the game, which surprises everyone expecting user folder safety. Settings persist outside saves, so wipes lose progress but keep options. Copy the right folder per build with the game closed. Episode unlocks share the install saves, so copy the active folder whole.
Where Umineko When They Cry stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Umineko\saves
Install folder saves with stock and modded variants side by side. Uninstalls wipe both folders. Cloud syncs the active tree per build.
Frequently asked questions
Should I back up saves or mysav for Umineko?
Stock builds write a saves folder while modded builds write a mysav folder in the same install tree. Uninstalling wipes both folders with the game, so back up first. Point sync tools at the right folder per build.
Umineko Cloud sync is stuck. How do I reset it?
Disable Cloud for the game, create a fresh local save, then re enable Cloud to force a clean sync state. Stale cache entries block new uploads otherwise. Overwrite the Cloud copy with the local backup when prompted.
