Medieval Dynasty Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-07

Save file location (Windows (Steam / Epic)): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Medieval_Dynasty\Saved\SaveGames

Quick answer: On PC, Medieval Dynasty stores saves at C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Medieval_Dynasty\Saved\SaveGames\ . The fastest way there is Win+R, paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\Medieval_Dynasty\Saved\SaveGames and press Enter. Save files are numbered Save000 through Save099. AppData is hidden by default, so enable 'Show hidden files' or use the Run box. Copy the Saved folder to back up your dynasty before updating, modding, or moving PCs.
Windows (Steam / Epic)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Medieval_Dynasty\Saved\SaveGames

Medieval Dynasty is a long-haul survival-sim where losing a dynasty save hurts. The saves are in the hidden AppData\Local tree, not Documents. Here is the exact PC path, how to open it, and how to back up your village before a bad update.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam / Epic)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Medieval_Dynasty\Saved\SaveGames

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Medieval_Dynasty\Saved\SaveGames\ . Saves are numbered Save000–Save099. AppData\Local is hidden by default.

Steam Deck / Linux (Proton)
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1129580/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Medieval_Dynasty/Saved/SaveGames/

On Steam Deck the save lives inside the game's Proton prefix, not your Linux home. AppID 1129580. Proton always names the Windows user 'steamuser' (never your Linux username). Saves are Save000-Save099 as on Windows. If installed on a microSD card, the compatdata folder moves to the card's steamapps path instead.

Steam Cloud copy
Steam userdata (managed by Steam)

Steam Cloud mirrors the saves and syncs on launch/exit. If a cloud and local save conflict after offline play, keep the newer one so you don't lose dynasty progress.

Cloud saves

Medieval Dynasty uses Steam Cloud. It syncs on launch and exit, so a corrupted or half-written save can overwrite your good cloud copy the next time you launch. Treat a manual copy of the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Medieval_Dynasty\Saved folder as your real backup.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

Common loss: dynasty progress rolled back after a crash or a session on a second PC — Steam Cloud synced an older or half-written save over the newer local one.

  1. Before relaunching after a crash, copy %LOCALAPPDATA%\Medieval_Dynasty\Saved somewhere safe.
  2. If the cloud rolled progress back, disable Steam Cloud for Medieval Dynasty in its Properties (or go offline) before launching.
  3. Restore your copied Saved folder, launch once offline to confirm, then re-enable cloud so the good save uploads.
