Divinity: Original Sin II save location (PC & Steam Deck)

Q: Where are Divinity: Original Sin II saves on Steam Deck?

In ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/435150/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Larian Studios/Divinity Original Sin 2/PlayerProfiles/<user-id>/Savegames . That folder sits inside the game's Proton prefix, so it only exists once the game has run at least once.

Divinity: Original Sin II keeps its saves in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2\PlayerProfiles\<user-id>\Savegames on Windows. It supports Steam Cloud, which keeps the latest save on your Steam account. 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 Divinity: Original Sin II keeps its saves

Windows

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2\PlayerProfiles\<user-id>\Savegames

Steam Deck and Linux (Proton)

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/435150/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Larian Studios/Divinity Original Sin 2/PlayerProfiles/<user-id>/Savegames

<user-id> is a folder named after your account's numeric ID; there is one for each account that has played the game on that machine.

These locations come from PCGamingWiki, through the community save database Hoard uses for detection. The Steam Deck paths are the Windows paths inside the game's Proton prefix, compatdata/435150, which appears after the game's first launch.

Settings files

Divinity: Original Sin II keeps settings such as graphics and controls apart from the saves, in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2.

Keep it backed up and in sync with Hoard

Hoard is free and open source. It backs up your Divinity: Original Sin II 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.

Install Hoard and sign in to Hoard One, recommended for everyone, or point it at your own server.
Open the Library. Divinity: Original Sin II is detected from your Steam library and the community save database.
Play. When you quit, the first version appears in the history.

Frequently asked questions

Does Divinity: Original Sin II have cloud saves?

Yes, according to the save database: Steam Cloud and GOG Galaxy. A store's cloud keeps only the latest save for that account, though, with no versions to go back to. Hoard keeps every version on top, on Hoard One or your own server.

Where are Divinity: Original Sin II saves on Steam Deck?

In ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/435150/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Larian Studios/Divinity Original Sin 2/PlayerProfiles/<user-id>/Savegames. That folder sits inside the game's Proton prefix, so it only exists once the game has run at least once.

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.
