Save File Location

[Papa Bear]

This update messed up my game but before I mess with it or uninstall and reinstall I want to back up my saves. Problem is that I cannot find them anywhere. Does anyone know where the saves are stored on the steam version?

Yes thank you, that is the location I found online, yet it does not exist in my situation using steam. With steam it looks like this...

C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamspps/common/Total War ROME REMASTERED/

and under that folder are only 3 folders, Contents, Launcher, and Swiftshader.

I even searched for "saves" in the remastered folder and found nothing. Im starting to think there is no local copy but only exist in the cloud. Now how to get saves from the steam cloud???

on windows the appdata folder is kept hidden from the user on purpose. go into the folder and click on the search bar and type %APPDATA%.

any one know where it is on Linux? I want to finish my campaign before I update. Might just start steam in offline mode..
Damn it valve.

Home/.local/share/feral-interactive/TotalWarRomeREMASTERED/VFS/local. After that it will be whatever campaign your save in. Rome/Alexander/Barbarian. Then saves folder.

My location is the following; though, I have it set up with a symbolic link pointing to my D drive which is an SSD:

C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Feral Interactive\Total War ROME REMASTERED\VFS\Local\Rome\saves

Symbolic Link:

mklink /D "C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Feral Interactive\Total War ROME REMASTERED\VFS\Local\Rome\saves" "D:\Games\Steam II\steamapps\common\Total War ROME REMASTERED\saves"

(I store everything on a large capacity HDD and simply create symbolic links for an SSD as needed; and after playing a game, I remove it while still having it on my HDD by simply changing the original folder name to an X prefix & removing the X prefix later - this way, I can clone my drives about every four months or sooner and/or keep everything on my network drives since I have over 32 TBs of data and can simply remove a drive and plug in another one in case something goes wrong - Symbolic Links is a powerful tool especially if you have a lot of data and/or smaller SSDs.)

Well I dont think the saves are on my computer, they are in the cloud, but I was able to figure out how to access the steam cloud thru an internet browser and found all my saves and was able to download the ones I wanted. Thanks to everyone who answered.

The best way to find these is to give a save a weird name and then search your hard drive for the weird name. No fuss. NO muss.
