How to transfer your Divinity: Original Sin 2 save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition\PlayerProfiles, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Copy the whole PlayerProfiles folder (each profile holds your .lsv save files).
- Copy those files to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Divinity: Original Sin 2 on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- Open the same path (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition\PlayerProfiles) on the new PC and paste your copied files in, overwriting if asked.
- Launch the game and confirm your progress loaded before deleting the backup copy.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
Yes on PC — the Definitive Edition uses Steam Cloud, so .lsv saves sync across machines on the same account. Let the cloud finish syncing before you copy, and close the game so a later sync doesn't overwrite your restore.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting to close the game / let the cloud finish syncing before copying — a later sync can overwrite your restore.
- Definitive Edition and the original release use separate folders — don't drop Definitive saves into the original-release path or they won't load.
