Counter-Strike: Condition Zero save location (PC & Steam Deck)

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero keeps its saves in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\Half-Life\czero\Save on Windows. Hoard finds that folder on its own, backs it up every time the game saves and keeps it in sync between your PCs and a Steam Deck.

Where Counter-Strike: Condition Zero keeps its saves

Windows

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\Half-Life\czero\Save

Steam Deck and Linux (Proton)

• ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life/Half-Life/czero/Save

Native Linux version

• ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life/Half-Life/czero/Save

macOS

• ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life/Half-Life/czero/Save

Paths under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam assume Steam is in its default folder.

These locations come from PCGamingWiki, through the community save database Hoard uses for detection.

Settings files

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero keeps settings such as graphics and controls apart from the saves, in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\Half-Life\czero.

Keep it backed up and in sync with Hoard

Hoard is free and open source. It backs up your Counter-Strike: Condition Zero saves every time the game writes one and again when you quit, keeps a history you can go back to, and syncs the folder between your PCs and a Steam Deck. Only the files that changed travel, compressed, and every file is checked against its SHA-256 hash when it comes back.

1. Install Hoard and sign in to Hoard One, recommended for everyone, or point it at your own server.
2. Open the Library. Counter-Strike: Condition Zero is detected from your Steam library and the community save database.
3. Play. When you quit, the first version appears in the history.

Frequently asked questions

Does Counter-Strike: Condition Zero have cloud saves?

The save database doesn't say for Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, so check its store page. Either way, Hoard keeps its own copy with every version, on Hoard One or your own server.

Where are Counter-Strike: Condition Zero saves on Steam Deck?

In ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life/Half-Life/czero/Save.

Is Hoard free?

Yes. The app, the command line and the server are free and open source (AGPL-3.0), and running your own server costs nothing but the machine. Hoard One, the managed server we recommend for everyone, is free too with 2 GB and three devices; Pro adds room for €1.99 a month.

Does self-hosting send anything to Hoard?

No. On your own server there's no account with us and no telemetry to us: your saves, your users and your logs stay on your machine and never touch ours.
