CONTROL Resonant Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-09-22

Quick answer: On PC, CONTROL Resonant (Remedy) saves are Steam-Cloud based: Steam users find them in Steam\userdata\<YourSteamID>\3669870\remote. Epic copies live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Remedy\ControlResonant\Saves, with an alternate path at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\ControlResonant.
Windows (Steam)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<YourSteamID>\3669870\remote
Windows (Epic Games)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Remedy\ControlResonant\Saves
Windows (alternate / Documents)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\ControlResonant

Here's exactly where CONTROL Resonant keeps your saves on PC (Steam Cloud + Epic paths), how to open the folder, and how to back it up before a bad cloud sync eats your progress.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<YourSteamID>\3669870\remote

Steam stores CONTROL Resonant saves in the app's Cloud remote folder (app 3669870). Replace <YourSteamID> with your numeric Steam3 ID; if you have one account only, there's a single numbered folder under userdata.

Windows (Epic Games)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Remedy\ControlResonant\Saves

Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Local\Remedy\ControlResonant\Saves. This follows Remedy's Northlight-engine layout used by earlier Control/Alan Wake releases.

Windows (alternate / Documents)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\ControlResonant

Some builds also keep config or a save copy here. Check this if the AppData\Local\Remedy path is empty.

Cloud saves

CONTROL Resonant leans on Steam Cloud, so a bad sync can overwrite a good local save. Back up the remote folder manually before long sessions. On a new PC, launch once so Steam pulls your cloud copy; if local and cloud disagree after offline play, keep the newer save to avoid losing progress in this checkpoint-scarce, offense-only combat game.

How to open the save folder

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run box.
  2. Steam: type C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata and open your numbered account folder > 3669870 > remote.
  3. Epic: type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Remedy\ControlResonant\Saves and press Enter.
  4. Copy the save folder somewhere safe before a big story section or update.

Save problems & fixes

My Control Resonant save is gone after a Steam Cloud sync error

Close the game and Steam, then check Steam\userdata\<YourSteamID>\3669870\remote for the file; restore your manual backup if you made one. Right-click the game > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity to force a clean re-sync.

I can't find the Remedy folder (Epic)

Enable 'Hidden items' in File Explorer, then open %LOCALAPPDATA%\Remedy. If it's absent, launch the game once and save so it's created, and also check Documents\My Games\ControlResonant.

FAQ

Where is the CONTROL Resonant save file on PC?

Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<YourSteamID>\3669870\remote. Epic: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Remedy\ControlResonant\Saves. Alternate: Documents\My Games\ControlResonant.

How do I back up my Control Resonant save?

Copy the 'remote' folder (Steam) or the ControlResonant\Saves folder (Epic) to a safe place, then paste it back to restore. Do it before Steam Cloud syncs over a good save.

Why did Steam Cloud wipe my Control Resonant save?

A cloud sync conflict can push an older cloud copy over your newer local one. Keep a manual backup of the remote folder, and after offline play choose 'keep local' if Steam asks which version to use.
