Where Are Vampire: Bloodlines 2 Save Files Located?
Bloodlines 2's autosave folder for Steam and GOG builds plus the single slot gotcha.
Last updated
Bloodlines 2 ships without manual saves. A single autosave slot tracks your Seattle run, with a chapter style Load list that restarts from quest beginnings at the cost of the current autosave.
Files sit under a Bloodlines2 folder in local AppData with separate Steam and GOG branches, and config lives one level up in the same store's tree under Saved\Config\Windows. That split matters when following guides, since a Steam path will not exist on a GOG install and back again.
Where Vampire: Bloodlines 2 stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Bloodlines2\Steam\Saved\SaveGames
Steam branch; config sits in Saved\Config\Windows one level up. GOG uses %LOCALAPPDATA%\Bloodlines2\GOG\Saved\SaveGames instead. Copy the SaveGames folder with the game closed. Quitting to menu warns about unsaved progress, so note your last checkpoint icon first.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/532790/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Bloodlines2/Steam/Saved/SaveGames
The Windows build through Proton on Linux and Steam Deck, inside the prefix for app ID 532790. The split between the Steam and GOG branches carries over here unchanged.
Frequently asked questions
Can I have multiple Bloodlines 2 campaigns?
Not natively. One autosave slot means a new run overwrites the old, keeping only quest checkpoints. Back up SaveGames elsewhere if you want parallel Phyres.
Is there a manual save mod?
Yes, the Manual Saving mod on Nexus adds hotkey saves via UE4SS. It writes into the same SaveGames tree, so the folder above is still the one to back up.
