Saves in Dragon's Dogma 2: where they are and how to start a new game

In Dragon's Dogma 2 There is only one save slot, which makes life much more difficult for players, preventing them from rolling back their progress in order to make another decision on a quest or correct a mistake they made and start a new game. This mistake of the developers can be corrected by using backup saves or deleting the corresponding files. In this guide, we will tell you where to find the files you need and what to do with them.

Where are the Dragon's Dogma 2 saves?

If you are using the Steam version of the game, you can find the saves on the disk where you have Steam installed. By default, the desired directory will look like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\user id\2054970\remote\win64_save

In short, you can find them in the folder \2054970\remote\win64_save, so we advise you to simply use the command line to quickly find the files you need. Let's add that if you want to find out your profile id, then open your inventory, go to the menu "Exchange Offers" and click on the inscription "Who can send me..." . Then scroll down the page and in the “exchange link” section you will see the required identifier.

How to back up a save

Knowing where the saves are, you just need to copy the files shown in the picture below to any folder convenient for you. However, their names cannot be changed, so be sure to leave yourself some kind of hint so that you don’t get confused in the files later. You can, for example, give unique names to the folders in which you placed them, by type "After solving the 5th riddle of the Sphinx" .

Important: If you delete or change files in the \2054970\remote\win64_save folder, then if the synchronization function with cloud saves is active, the game will automatically update them to the current version, that is, you will not be able to roll back progress. For this reason, we advise you to disable Steam Cloud.

To successfully start the game or use a backup save, you must disable synchronization with the Steam cloud. To do this, go to the “Library”, find Dragon's Dogma 2, right-click on it and select the “Properties” section.

A new menu will appear. Go to the "General" tab and in the center of the window, click on the toggle switch next to the words "Enable synchronization of saves with Steam Cloud for Dragon's Dogma 2" so that it turns gray, as shown in the image below. Congratulations, you have disabled cloud saves for your game.

How to create new save slots in Dragon's Dogma 2

Formally, the game has only two slots for “saves,” allowing you to load the “last save” or “from your last stay at the hotel.” Of course, many players may not like such a system, since it does not allow replaying certain moments due to autosaving.

For this reason, many are starting to look for additional save cells, but they are not in the sequel, at least at this point in time. Thus, the only option to roll back your progress is to regularly create backup copies of your “saves” before any important events and decisions.
