In your journey in the RE4 remake, you will be helped by the two files known as Save and Configuration (Config) but they cannot be found without a little bit of searching. That is why the following guide will help players in finding the Save and Config files on their system.
Resident Evil 4 Remake: How to find Save and Config files
Save File Location
Players searching for the save files have to go to the default location which is
- <Steam folder>/userdata/<your Steam user id>/<RE4 ID>/win64_save.
Players wondering what the RE4 ID means is the game ID of Resident Evil 4 Remake. Similarly, you should have your Steam folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam.
This is for players who have not changed the destination of their installation folder to any other drive. Even if you have your “steamapps” folder somewhere else, this aforementioned location remains the same.
For those who have more than one Steam ID, you will come across several folders within the “userdata” folder. Players looking for their present Steam user ID have to open their Steam Inventory and choose Trade Offers. Select “Who can send me Trade Offers” and move down to “Third-Party Sites.”
Players will be able to view their Trade URL and the numbers that appear after “https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=” is your current user ID for Steam.
Once you have this, go to the folder that is the same as your user ID within the aforementioned “userdata” folder.
Config File Location
The mainstay location of the game’s config file is
- <Steam folder>/userdata/<your Steam user id>/<RE4 ID>/win64_save.
- The config file is termed as the “Local_config.ini” since it is the default format of the config file.
Players wishing to manually edit the config file can do so with the help of Wordpad or Notepad. However, it is not advised that you do this activity yourself until you are well-versed with the coding lines which will ensure there are no changes to the overall game at the end.
Thus, that is all the information players will need when it comes to the locations of the save and config files. You should be aware of these places and files while playing Resident Evil 4 Remake. This is because they will be of immense help when it comes to certain crucial points in the game as you progress.
