Where are the save files?

[Vertigo]

the path?

[Turner D Century]

I looked in the typical locations in user/my documents. I see the game settings files, but no save games. It's probably in your steam folder. They're numbered and not easy to sort out usually but if you sort it out by date you should be able to spot it

This thread on WB's site shows where both the backup saves are as well as Steam's cloud saves: http://support.wbgames.com/link/portal/24022/24028/Article/1062/I-lost-my-Batman-Arkham-Knight-save-How-do-I-recover-it

Quick summary:
Backup saves are located under
\My Documents\WB Games\Batman Arkham Knight\#########\SaveData\backup

The actual saves that are loaded in the game (and on Steam's cloud) are under
\Steam\userdata\#####\208650\remote

In the Steam\userdata folder, you'll find files named things like "BAK1Save0x0.sgd"

BAK1Save0x0.sgd and BAK1Save0x1.sgd correspond to the first save slot.

BAK1Save1x0.sgd and BAK1Save1x1.sgd correspond to the second save slot.

Ok, because of a game breaking bug i needed to use a older save and this is what I did in case is useful for some one:

Go to path C:\Users\YouUser\Documents\WB Games\Batman Arkham Knight\76561198026948823\SaveData\backup
Create a Backup of files ( .rar)
Delete files
Go to path C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Batman Arkham Knight\BMGame\SaveData
Create a Backup of files ( .rar)
Delete files
Go to path C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\XXXXXXXX\208650\remote
Create a Backup of files ( .rar)
Notice the name of files is like "BAK1Save0x0.sgd", (save the name somewhere)
Delete files except profile.bin
Disconnect from internet
Execute game to sure that the save didn't exist, if it exist repeat process.
Exit game
From one of the first backed up files (first path) take one prior to one with the issue (I remembered the hour of my save so I chose the one before that), copy it and paste in the last path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\XXXXXXXX\208650\remote) and change the name of the file to the name saved (BAK1Save0x0.sgd).
Execute game, the save must appear (if this save has problems too, try with an older one)
Play until the save icon appear (I didn't try, but theorically if you open the save file in notepad add some whitespace and the delete it, the effect should be the same)
Exit game and verify that the save file has the "modification date" to now
Connect to internet
Steam will say that there is a conflict between cloud file and local file and give you 2 options, choose "Upload local to cloud" or something like that.
The game will start and you gonna be in your prior save. Obviusly you will lose some advance, but you can keep playing.

@pfarinav thank you so much! This was the only solution on the internet, that could save my game file, I really appreciate that you took the time writing this.

[Vertigo]

Happy to help! Did you have any problem? because other people who did this told me that didn't work and the save never appeared in the game.

Windows 10 + steam is a mess. I was having this problem... solved when I started STEAM as admin.

[Certified Hassuttelia]

i can't find my steam saves. If I go to steam saves folder there is no saves. Only dtdata file

[probukto]

Big thanks Vertigo !!!
worked for me. This was the only work around the issue i've had with jokermobile not being able to switch back to batmobile.

[Pinga]

Nicely done Vertigo. I managed to revert to a previous save and get around the bug about the missing "Under The Pale Moonlight" and "City Heat TT" challenges.

For reference, I replayed the moment in game where the challenges appear, and unlocked their requirements right away without quiting the game. If you quit without unlocking them, you can only try again if you load a previous save, or when they unlock again in NG+.

[The Esat =)]

You deserve a huge thanks. I was playing with save folders but couldnt remember the remote part... Thanks for reminding
