Where Are Old World Saves Located?
Old World My Games folder with saves, cloud sync and mod directories on PC.
Last updated
Old World saves under Documents in a My Games folder with separate directories for local saves, cloud saves and mods. Campaigns, scenarios and family trees all land in the saves tree.
Cloud saves duplicate locally, which confuses backup scripts that grab both. Copy the saves folder for local campaigns and leave the cloud mirror to the service.
Where Old World stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\OldWorld
Local campaigns sit in the saves subfolder with mods and cloud mirrors next door. Exact inner names may vary by version, so back up the whole OldWorld folder with the game closed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Old World campaigns?
Copy the saves folder from Documents\My Games\OldWorld. Include the mods folder if campaigns use custom content.
Where are Old World mods?
In the mods subfolder of the directory above, plus Steam Workshop copies under steamapps\workshop. Both load the same way in-game.
