Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Steam ID folder?
Open the Complete Edition folder and look for the numeric subfolder with recent timestamps. There should be one per Steam account that launched the game.
Is manual backup safe with Steam Cloud on?
Yes for backup, but turn Cloud off in Steam properties before restoring older files. Launch once, verify the restored save loads, then turn Cloud back on.
