This is an accurate and detailed guide to finding the save and config files for The Finals, along with additional insights. These can help you make required changes from the game files themselves, with some steps of precaution of course!
The Finals – Save File and Config File Location
To make certain changes to the game files, and the settings for The Finals, you need to know the location for these files on your system.
for Windows Systems, this is the location for the Save and Config files:
- Save File Location – Local Disk (C:)\Users\<your username>\appdata\Local\Discovery\Saved\SaveGames
- Config File Location – Local Disk (C:)\Users\<your username>\appdata\Local\Discovery\Saved\Config\WindowsClient
For Linux (Steam Play)
- <Steam-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/2073850/pfx/
Take note that both the Save File and the Config Files are located in the Steam Installation folder, so you do not have to find them separately in different folders.
How To Access The Files:
You need to open the respective system (Windows or Linux) and paste the following default path in the address bar:
- Windows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Discovery\Saved\Config\WindowsClient - Linux:
<Steam-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/2073850/pfx/
Now simply hit enter the respective folder should open up for you. You can also manually navigate to the folder path mentioned in the starting of the guide.
How To Access AppData Folder
You may have noticed that there is a folder called %LOCALAPPDATA%. In most Systems, this folder remains hidden, so you need the knowledge on how to unhide, or access this path in the first place:
Hidden Folders: The AppData folder on Windows is hidden by default. To view it, follow these steps:
- Open File Explorer.
- Click the “View” tab.
- Check the box for “Hidden items.”
This should make the folder visible for you to access it.
Important Notes
Make Backups: It is always wise to make a backup of the files you wish to modify. That is because in case of any issues, you can simply restore the original files and you are all good to go!
Steam Cloud Synchronization: This is a key feature of Steam itself. Make sure that you are using it for The Finals. If enabled for The Finals, your save files will automatically sync online, allowing you to access them from different systems of your choice. Check your Steam settings to confirm if it’s active. to activate it do the following:
- Go to Steam Settings
- Head over to “Cloud”
- Make sure that “Enable Steam Cloud” is turned ON
Additional Help
File Names: If you have less idea about these names, I would suggest you press CTRL+F and type “save” or “config” within the directories mentioned above.
Using Community Forums: For further assistance or troubleshooting, explore online forums or communities dedicated to The Finals. They often provide valuable insights and solutions from fellow players.
Official Support: If you encounter persistent issues, consult the game’s official documentation or reach out to their support channels for direct guidance.
