How to Transfer Your Mafia: The Old Country Save to a New PC

Save file location

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Hangar 13 Games\Mafia The Old Country\SaveGames\<user-id>

Copy the entire save folder at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hangar 13 Games\Mafia The Old Country\SaveGames\<user-id> from the old PC to the exact same path on the new PC — it holds every slot and the game's automatic backups.

Back up first (Windows) — copy & run

Before you copy anything, make a dated backup of every Mafia: The Old Country slot in one command. Paste this into the Windows search bar or Run (Win+R), or into a Command Prompt, and hit Enter:

robocopy "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Hangar 13 Games\Mafia The Old Country\SaveGames" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\MafiaOC-save-backup" /E /COPY:DAT /R:1 /W:1

This mirrors the whole SaveGames tree (all user-id sub-folders, every slot and the game's own Backup folder) to a MafiaOC-save-backup folder on your Desktop, without touching the originals. Keep that copy until your new PC loads your progress. Restore by swapping source and destination paths.

How to transfer your Mafia: The Old Country save to a new PC

On the old PC, press Win+R, paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hangar 13 Games\Mafia The Old Country\SaveGames\<user-id> and press Enter to open the save folder.
Copy the whole folder (all slots plus any Backup sub-folder) to a USB drive, OneDrive/Google Drive, or a network share.
Install Mafia: The Old Country on the new PC and launch it once, then close it so the empty save folder is created.
Open the same path (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Hangar 13 Games\Mafia The Old Country\SaveGames\<user-id>) on the new PC and paste your copied files in, overwriting if asked.
Launch the game and confirm your progress loads before deleting the backup copy.

Does cloud sync move it for you?

On PC Mafia: The Old Country uses Steam Cloud. Quit the game before restoring a backup so Steam Cloud uploads your restored .sav rather than re-downloading the older online copy on the next launch.

Common mistakes

Copying only one slot file instead of the whole save folder — you can lose other slots and the game's backups.
If your path contains a user-id / SteamID sub-folder, paste your files INTO the matching id folder the new install created, not next to it — the game won't read saves outside your own id folder.
Letting Steam Cloud overwrite your restored save: quit the game after pasting so Steam uploads the copy you just restored, and if a conflict dialog appears keep the newer timestamp.
