Where Are Wheel World Save Files Located?
Wheel World save files on Windows and Linux, where Unity puts the .save files and how Steam Cloud maps them.
Last updated
Wheel World runs on Unity, so saves follow Unity rules rather than a Messhof specific folder. On Windows the files sit in AppData LocalLow under Messhof/Wheel World/wheelworld with a .save extension per slot. Steam Cloud syncs that folder, quota 100 MB.
Linux uses the same tree under a Unity config location instead. The developer bug form points at the same LocalLow folder for Player.log, which confirms the parent. Back up with the game closed and keep the whole folder, not one file.
Where Wheel World stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Messhof\Wheel World\wheelworld
Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Messhof into Explorer. Files use a .save extension. Steam AppID 1497460 syncs this tree through Steam Cloud.
~/.config/unity3d/Messhof/Wheel World/wheelworld
Uses XDG config home, so ~/.config when the variable is unset. On Steam Deck with Proton, the same Windows tree also appears under compatdata/1497460. Check both if one is empty.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Wheel World progress?
Copy the whole wheelworld folder with the game closed. Single .save copies can load, but the set only stays consistent if you keep the siblings together.
Can I move a Wheel World save from PC to Steam Deck?
Yes. Copy the wheelworld folder from AppData LocalLow into the Linux path above with the game closed. Steam Cloud may overwrite the transfer, so pause sync until the save loads once.
