Where Mortal Kombat 1 stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<USER-ID>\1971870\remote\save\
Steam pattern. <USER-ID> varies. AppID 1971870 is fixed. Adjust drive root if library is elsewhere. Back up the whole remote folder to keep save plus remote config together. Steam Cloud can overwrite manual restores if left on.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\MK12\Saved\Steam\Config\WindowsNoEditor\
Local Unreal config for Steam builds. Holds GameUserSettings.ini for resolution, display mode, and scalability. Delete or rename to force regeneration after graphics issues.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Epic Games save?
Epic builds use %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Warner Bros. Games\Mortal Kombat 1\. That path is separate from Steam userdata and is not synced by Steam Cloud.
Where is the display config if the game will not start?
Check %LOCALAPPDATA%\MK12\Saved\Steam\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini. Back it up, delete it, then launch to rebuild defaults.
