Here's exactly where Spec Ops: The Line keeps your saves on PC, how to open the folder, and how to back them up.
Save file locations
<Steam>\userdata\<SteamID>\50300\remote
Default Steam folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam. 50300 is the game's Steam App ID; open the numbered profile folder inside userdata.
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\SpecOps-TheLine\SRGame\SaveData
Full path: C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\My Games\SpecOps-TheLine\SRGame\SaveData .
Cloud saves
The Steam version of Spec Ops: The Line uses Steam Cloud via the userdata\...\50300\remote folder. If saves roll back, it is usually a cloud conflict — keep the copy with the later timestamp.
How to open the save folder
- Press Win + R to open the Run box.
- Type %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\SpecOps-TheLine and press Enter (non-Steam), or open your Steam userdata\<id>\50300\remote folder.
- Open the SaveData / remote folder.
- Copy the whole folder somewhere safe before editing or moving PCs.
Save problems & fixes
Spec Ops save won't load or is corrupt
Restore a manual copy of the SaveData / remote folder. On Steam, disable Cloud, replace the local save with a good backup, then re-enable Cloud so the good copy uploads.
Spec Ops progress rolled back after a Steam Cloud conflict
When Steam reports a conflict, keep the version with the LATER timestamp. Picking the older cloud copy overwrites newer local progress.
