Windrose saves live in a RocksDB_v2 folder under LocalAppData, with one profile folder per Windows user ID.
Last updated
Windrose is Kraken Express's pirate survival game, published with Pocketpair and in early access since April 14, 2026. It runs on Unreal Engine 5, so its data sits under %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5, another internal project name that has nothing to do with the title.
Save profiles go to R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\<uid>\RocksDB_v2. The <uid> part is your Windows user identifier, which varies by machine. Version 0.10.0.0.5.120 moved saves from RocksDB to RocksDB_v2 and added a migration step, so older backups may sit in the folder without the suffix. Steam Cloud and Epic cloud sync are both enabled.
Where Windrose stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\<uid>\RocksDB_v2
Replace <uid> with your Windows user ID. Saves made before version 0.10.0.0.5.120 are in the RocksDB folder next to it; the game migrates them automatically.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\Config\Windows
Engine and input settings, separate from the save profiles.
Frequently asked questions
Where are Windrose saves?
In %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles\<uid>\RocksDB_v2, where <uid> is your Windows user ID. The R5 folder is the internal project name, so searching for Windrose finds nothing.
Where did my Windrose saves go after the 0.10 update?
They moved from RocksDB to RocksDB_v2. The game migrates old saves on launch, and the old folder may remain next to the new one. Check both before assuming a save is gone.
Does Windrose use Steam Cloud?
Yes, and the Epic version uses Epic's cloud as well. Both are enabled according to PCGamingWiki. Local copies are still useful before switching storefronts or reinstalling Windows.
Can I copy a Windrose profile to another PC?
Copy the whole RocksDB_v2 folder into the matching SaveProfiles\<uid> path on the other machine with the game closed. The uid differs between Windows installs, so create the profile there first.
