Where Are Dune: Awakening Saves Located?
Dune Awakening local client data under LocalAppData DuneSandbox, and why characters live on Funcom servers.
Last updated
Dune: Awakening is an online survival game, so your character, bases and progression live on Funcom servers rather than in a local save file. There is no single-player save to copy between PCs.
What does exist locally is client data under a DuneSandbox folder, including cloud-synced client files players use to wipe characters. Treat deletions there as destructive.
Where Dune: Awakening stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\DuneSandbox\Saved\Cloud
Local client files reported by players for managing characters and starting over. Your actual character persists server-side on your account, so logging in elsewhere restores it. Close the game fully before touching anything here.
Frequently asked questions
How do I delete my Dune: Awakening character and start over?
Players report removing the local files under DuneSandbox\Saved\Cloud, then force-closing the game so Steam Cloud does not re-upload them. Double-check you mean it: server-side progress tied to that character goes with it.
Can I transfer my Dune: Awakening character to another PC?
Yes, by logging into the same Funcom account. Nothing needs copying because progression is server-side.
