This guide helps you find the location of the Enshrouded save files for your character and your maps.
Introduction
The save files for Enshrouded can be stored in two different paths. The location depends on whether you are saving the game with Steam Cloud or not.
- The character save file is named “characters”
- The map save files are named “3ad85aea” and “3ad85aea_info”
Multiple worlds can be saved in this files.
Save File Location
File location when the game is saved with Steam Cloud
If you save your game via Steam Cloud, you can find your character and map files at the following address in Explorer:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\YOURSTEAMID\1203620\remote\
You can find “YOURSTEAMID” under settings. Your friend code is “YOURSTEAMID”
“C:\Program Files (x86)” may vary depending on where Steam is installed.
File location when the game is NOT saved with Steam Cloud
If you don’t save your game via Steam Cloud, you can find your character and map files at the following address in Explorer:
- C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games\Enshrouded
You can directly coppy this path into your Explorer address bar.
Will I have access to everything if I install the game on a different PC and use the same Steam account? Or should I begin at the beginning?
If you have Steam Cloud enabled, then everything should be there. You can easily copy the save files if not.
If more than one person is using your computer to log in and access their own Steam account, you shouldn’t need to search for your “steam ID” folder; it should be the only folder you find after opening the “userdata” folder. Still, great write-up, much appreciated.
