Way of the Hunter 2 Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-01

Save file location (Windows (Steam)): %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Way of the Hunter 2\SaveGames

Quick answer: On PC, Way of the Hunter 2 stores your saves under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Way of the Hunter 2\SaveGames (full path C:\Users\<you>\AppData\LocalLow\Way of the Hunter 2\SaveGames). This is the Unity LocalLow location — NOT Documents and NOT the Steam install folder. LocalLow is the easiest AppData subfolder to miss because the Run box's %APPDATA% and %LOCALAPPDATA% shortcuts both skip it; paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow into Explorer instead. Each hunting reserve/profile is its own set of files. Steam Cloud mirrors these saves, so if a hunt bugs out or the game crashes, copy the SaveGames folder BEFORE relaunching — otherwise a bad local state can sync up and overwrite your good cloud copy.

Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Way of the Hunter 2 is a Unity game, so your saves are not in Documents or the Steam install folder — they sit in the easy-to-miss AppData\LocalLow tree. Here is the exact path, how to open it, and how to protect it from a Steam Cloud rollback.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Way of the Hunter 2\SaveGames

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\LocalLow\Way of the Hunter 2\SaveGames . LocalLow is hidden and is NOT the same as Local or Roaming — paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow into the address bar, then open 'Way of the Hunter 2\SaveGames'.

Alternate (some installs)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\WOTH2\Saved

A few setups report a short-name WOTH2 folder under AppData\Local. If LocalLow\Way of the Hunter 2 is empty after you have saved in-game, check %LOCALAPPDATA%\WOTH2 before assuming the save is lost.

Steam Cloud
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Steam Cloud keeps a mirrored copy. Verifying files or going online after a crash can pull the cloud copy down — see the cloud-conflict steps before you do either.

Cloud saves

Way of the Hunter 2 uses Steam Cloud. It uploads automatically on exit, so a corrupted or half-written save can overwrite your good cloud copy the next time you launch, with no visible version history. Treat a manual copy of the LocalLow SaveGames folder as your real backup, kept outside the game directory.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

The common loss is 'my progress rolled back' after a crash or a session on a second PC — Steam Cloud synced an older or half-written save over the newer local one.

  1. Before relaunching after a crash, copy %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Way of the Hunter 2\SaveGames somewhere outside the game folder.
  2. If the cloud rolled your hunt back, go offline in Steam, restore your copied SaveGames folder, launch once offline so the game reads it, then reconnect so the good save uploads.
  3. When playing on two PCs, let Steam Cloud finish syncing (watch the sync pop-up) before closing the game on either machine.

FAQ

Where is the Way of the Hunter 2 save on PC?

In %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Way of the Hunter 2\SaveGames (C:\Users\<you>\AppData\LocalLow\Way of the Hunter 2\SaveGames) — the Unity LocalLow location, not Documents and not the install folder.

Why can't I find the LocalLow folder?

LocalLow is hidden and the %APPDATA%/%LOCALAPPDATA% Run shortcuts skip it. Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow into Explorer's address bar to jump straight there.

How do I back up my Way of the Hunter 2 save?

Copy the whole SaveGames folder outside the game directory, or run the robocopy command above. Do this before verifying files or relaunching after a crash, because Steam Cloud can overwrite a good save.

Does Way of the Hunter 2 use Steam Cloud?

Yes. Saves sync automatically, so a corrupted local save can propagate to the cloud — keep a manual copy as your real backup.
