SnowRunner Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-07

Save file location (Windows (local)): %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\SnowRunner\base\storage

Quick answer: On PC, SnowRunner stores saves at C:\Users\<you>\Documents\My Games\SnowRunner\base\storage\ , inside a per-profile subfolder holding CompleteSave.cfg (slot 1) plus CompleteSave1.cfg, CompleteSave2.cfg, CompleteSave3.cfg for the other slots. On the Steam version a synced copy also lives under Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1465360\remote . Close the game, then copy the whole storage tree to back up. SnowRunner is prone to cloud-conflict rollbacks, so a manual backup is essential.
Windows (local)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\SnowRunner\base\storage
Windows (Steam Cloud copy)
Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1465360\remote

SnowRunner is notorious for lost and rolled-back saves after cloud conflicts. Here is exactly where your CompleteSave.cfg lives on PC, where the Steam Cloud copy is, and how to back up before it happens to you.

Save file locations

Windows (local)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\SnowRunner\base\storage

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\Documents\My Games\SnowRunner\base\storage\ . Inside a per-profile subfolder: CompleteSave.cfg (slot 1), CompleteSave1.cfg, CompleteSave2.cfg, CompleteSave3.cfg (slots 2–4).

Windows (Steam Cloud copy)
Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1465360\remote

The Steam version mirrors saves here under app ID 1465360. If local and cloud disagree, this is the copy Steam may push over your local save.

Cloud saves

SnowRunner uses Steam/Epic cloud and is well known for cloud-conflict rollbacks. The cloud copy under Steam\userdata\<SteamID>\1465360\remote can overwrite your newer local CompleteSave.cfg on launch. Always keep a manual copy of the Documents storage tree, made with the game fully closed.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Very common loss: hours of progress rolled back after a crash, a second-PC session, or a Steam sync — the cloud CompleteSave.cfg overwrote the newer local one.

  1. Fully close SnowRunner (check it's not still in the tray), then copy %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\SnowRunner\base\storage somewhere safe.
  2. If the cloud rolled progress back, disable Steam Cloud for SnowRunner in its Properties before launching, so the bad cloud copy can't sync down again.
  3. Restore your copied storage folder, launch once offline to confirm the right progress, then re-enable cloud so the good save uploads.
