Where Are Underrail Save Files Located?
Underrail keeps saves and config in Documents under My Games. Save path, unpacker editing, and Linux prefix.
Last updated
Underrail keeps its files in Documents\My Games\Underrail: a Saves folder with one subfolder per character, and config.dat with options beside it. The game folder itself holds executables and data only, which is why newcomers searching the install dir find nothing and assume saves are hidden.
Each character folder is self-contained enough for community unpackers to expose feats and stats for editing, the classic respec route for builds gone wrong. Expedition content lives in the same tree, so DLC progress needs no separate backup. Cloud sync exists on both Steam and GOG; local copies remain the reliable unit. Linux mirrors the layout inside the Proton prefix for app ID 250520.
Where Underrail stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Underrail\Saves
One subfolder per character inside Saves; config.dat beside it holds options. The install folder holds no saves, so skip it when hunting. Expedition and Heavy Duty share the same tree. Cloud sync is available but local copies are the reliable backup.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/250520/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Underrail/Saves
The Windows layout mirrored inside the Proton prefix, where 250520 is the game's Steam app ID. Some installs use ~/.steam/steam instead of ~/.local/share/Steam. Same Saves nesting and config.dat, so folders move across freely.
