Save game location

[ZIGS]

Does anyone know where the save data is stored?

You basically don't need to transfer your save game if you play on other computer with a same profile. When you finish playing, just exit game so that Steam uploads save game on cloud. Login to other computer, start game and continue playing from where you left. Easy as that!

I'm so sorry for the necro, but just to confirm.

If I uninstall the game, and re-insall it sometime later, my progress should be saved?

I'm asking becasue I have ♥♥♥♥ computer, and I have decided after a few hours of play time, that I don't want to keep playing in a laggy state. You have to pay attention to little details in the game, but lowering everything to a minimum the drawing distance of everything becomes too distracting to pay attention to details. Plus I want to enjoy the game in good graphics.

As long as you have Steam Cloud enabled for Talos Principle, you should be good to go. To do that, right click on Talos Principle, select "Properties", then select the "Updates" tab and make sure the box next to "Eneable Steam Cloud synchronization" is checked. That's all there is to it. If you want to disable Steam Cloud for Talos Principle, just make sure the box is NOT checked.

Steam does not delete the save game when you uninstall the game from Steam. That has to be deleted separately, so it is safe to uninstall Talos Principle and keep your progress.

Thanks man! Does that works for other games too? Or just for games that have some kind of synchronization enabled by the developers?

I created a collection of scripts that allow users to save their game state under meaningful savegame names. The scipts are TalosSave, TalosRestore, TalosRemove, and TalosList in both bash scripts (for Linux) and batch files (for Windows) versions of the game. The scriipts also update the time and date of the savegame files to NOW before restoring them so that the cloud copy does not try to undo your desired restore.

The scripts automatically figure out your seamid so they work on any computer without editing.

Steam Cloud sync works for all games that support it. Your save game data itself is only removed when you delete it (like if you removed the Steam directory or reinstalled it from scratch or something). It's usually a good idea to back up your saves in some way. I use Game Save Manager for this purpose. It can back up any game save to any location you want, including a cloud account (like Dropbox e.g.) and it's free. Here's a link to the site if you are interested.

For Linux users the savegame files are here:
$HOME/.steam/steam/userdata/<steamid>/257510/remote/PlayerProfile.dat
