Anyone know where the saves are stored? I've got work tonight and want to transfer the saves from my desktop to my laptop so I can keep playing.

Hello,

The saves are located at : %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity

Found them. Thank you very much for answering.

Hi there,

thanks for the information, but do anybody also know where I find them under OS X?


edit:
Ok, I just found the files:
Here is the location: (user folder) ▸ Library ▸ Application Support ▸ Pillars of Eternity ▸ Saved Games

(The library folder is hidden regularly.)

I don't find the location on Debian...

Same for Wasteland 2, maybe is it because I only do quick saves?

It's there for me (Xubuntu 14.04) and I haven't even started to play, just launched the game.
If on a GUI file manager, make sure to display the dot directories.

$ find ~ -type d -name PillarsOfEternity

$ find ~ -type d -name PillarsOfEternity
nothing on .local/stade

I just started my research, I keep searching.

It's .local/share, not .local/stade.

What's the output of the find command I mentioned? It should find it right away.

I ll try the command this evenning.

Edit: ok... it's not in /home/.local/share but in /root/.local/share......

I'm guessing that the game follows XDG Base Directory Specification and saves the files to $XDG_DATA_HOME
For me $XDG_DATA_HOME is set as ~/.local/share/
Try $XDG_DATA_HOME/PillarsOfEternity/SavedGames/

BTW I was able to "cloud sync" my Windows and Mac saved games by making a folder on Dropbox and linking to it from the expected save folder locations. It seems to work fine cross-platform so far...

You must use the link commands from the command line (Windows: mklink, Mac: ln). You cannot use alias/shortcuts created in the GUIs for this purpose.

Fantastic! I would have never the idea to use a folder with alias for that. Thank you!

It does but alas, as far as I noticed, this specification isn't too widespread yet even in modern distributions. The game doesn't seem to use the system variable, as mine is unset. `find` or `locate` will help in any case.

So this means you're running the game as root.
You might want to go back to running it as a user.
