Where Are Void Stranger Save Files Located?
Void Stranger keeps its run in a single save.vs file plus settings.vs, both in a lowercase folder in LocalAppData.
Last updated
Void Stranger reduces saving to two files. A void_stranger folder in LocalAppData holds save.vs for the run and settings.vs for options. The lowercase name with an underscore is easy to mistype, so paste rather than type.
Single file saves make backups trivial and corruption total. One copy of save.vs is the entire run, so dated copies before risky floors cost nothing. The sequel style naming confuses nobody here: one folder, two files, done.
Where Void Stranger stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\void_stranger\save.vs
The entire run in one file. Copy it with the game closed. Dated backups before new areas are cheap insurance against a bad death.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\void_stranger\settings.vs
Options beside the save. Edit with the game closed. Delete it to force defaults if settings break.
<SteamLibrary>/steamapps/compatdata/2121980/pfx/
Steam Play prefix, app ID 2121980. The two files are mirrored inside it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Void Stranger progress?
Copy save.vs and settings.vs to the same folder on the new PC with the game closed. The pair carries progress plus options. Cloud mirrors exist, but the two file copy is exact.
Where is the Void Stranger settings file?
Open settings.vs in a text editor with the game closed. Keep a copy of the original first. Most options also live in game, which beats hand editing for anything risky.
Where are Void Stranger saves on Steam Deck or Linux?
Use the Proton prefix with app ID 2121980. The LocalAppData folder is mirrored inside it. Steam Cloud mirrors the same two files on Windows.
