Need help finding location of RD2 on Steam game file save

[smoening002]

Sorry if this question has been posted before. looked in the threads for it but could not find a good solution that worked. I have RD2 installed on my PC via Steam and I am looking for the game save folder. I plan to do a clean reinstall for RD2 since it crashes on me. I know its probably due to a mod. Played for many days without it crashing but then all of a sudden it does. and no I do not want to play it without mods. I already played it thorough 3 or 4 times already on my xbox. I ONLY purchased it for PC because of the mods.

'usually' -
C\Users\<username>\Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Profiles\<profilename> - srdr files
You'd probably want to turn cloudsaves off as well to 'help' rule them out too.

(or delete the cloudsavedata.dat and it will 'ask again' on restart what to use - local)

Toss in a side of onedrive, non-default locations, etc.
If it 'isn't there' - can also search for things like srdr* or cloudsavedata.dat

/goodluck

Steam doesn't cloud save for RDR2, Rockstar Launcher does

Hey mate, when does your game crash? Mine has been crashing on the load screen after the initial RDR2 home page.

RDR2 has never crashed on me before. Not even once, so it's odd it's just started to happen.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game last night.

A reinstall can't fix such an issue. You still have all the config files on your system within the Documents folder.

Find on Steam\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2
Copy all the folder of Red Dead Redemption 2 to another hard drive or you can move to another dump folder lets say ABC in the the same hard drive so it will be quick and fast rather than copying it in another HDD it will take long time.

Okay uninstall RDR2 on steam or delete it whatever in your side,
remember I give tips for you when you install it again make sure to stop while downloading and ofcourse just delete it on steam or in the folder, all you need just the folder of RDR2 in Steam\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2,

and copy or move your previous RDR2 folder into new empty RDR2, and then Install RDR2 on steam and it will give you something like folder exist or kinda, and it will verify by it self

I am sorry my explanation is a little bit complicated, coz English is not my native language

Thats just the game files; you don't need to reinstall a Steam Game, if you have issues, use the Verify option.

The player saved game files are within:
Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Profile\YourUserID#
