Game Hub / Save Reference

Divinity: Original Sin II – Definitive Edition Save Files & Tools

Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition PC save location, backup, file-format, launcher, cloud-sync, and compatibility reference. This Game Hub documents save-file facts without implying that a game-specific Save Editor is available.

PC

01 / Overview

Save reference at a glance.

Game Hubs separate documented save-file facts from actual Tool support. A Game Hub can be useful even when no custom editor exists.

.lsv

Definitive Edition and the older Classic directory are separate. Keep each save folder intact inside the correct PlayerProfiles tree and do not flatten .lsv files between editions.

For this PC reference, the documented storage is Windows: %USERPROFILE%DocumentsLarian StudiosDivinity Original Sin 2 Definitive EditionPlayerProfiles<profile>SavegamesStory. The known file or folder pattern is one folder per save containing .lsv and companion preview/meta files. Definitive Edition organizes saves by Larian player profile and per-save folders. The per-save directory, not just the .lsv payload, is the practical unit for backup.

Backup guidance: Close Divinity: Original Sin II – Definitive Edition, let the launcher finish any synchronization, then copy the complete documented save directory to a dated folder outside the live path. Preserve companion files rather than selecting only the newest-looking record. Steam/GOG cloud features can synchronize the player profile. Preserve an offline PlayerProfiles backup before resolving conflicts. Launcher and cloud context matters because The active Steam, GOG installation determines which local profile and cloud copy can overwrite the save. Identify the storefront and account before restoring files.

Compatibility and recovery should stay conservative. Treat saves as version-, storefront-, account-, and mod-sensitive unless the game or a separately verified migration workflow proves otherwise. A similar filename or extension is not evidence that two releases are interchangeable. If the expected progress is not visible, If progress is missing after a restore, confirm the active Windows account, storefront/profile, cloud state, and exact directory first. Restore the untouched backup before experimenting with individual files or older autosaves. SaveEditor.com only labels a game-specific editor as available when a separate linked Tool has a verified operational runtime; this reference page by itself is not an editor claim.

Compatibility note

Treat saves as version-, storefront-, account-, and mod-sensitive unless the game or a separately verified migration workflow proves otherwise. A similar filename or extension is not evidence that two releases are interchangeable.

05 / Backup

Protect the original before editing.

Save editing should be reversible. Keep an untouched copy outside the active save directory before replacing, converting, repairing, or modifying a save.

  1. 01
    Close the game.

    Avoid modifying a save while the game or launcher may still be writing to it.

  2. 02
    Copy the entire relevant save set.

    Some games use multiple files, profile folders, metadata, or companion files rather than one isolated save.

  3. 03
    Store the backup elsewhere.

    Use a separate folder or archive so cloud sync or the game cannot overwrite the untouched backup.

  4. 04
    Edit a copy, then validate.

    Follow the exact compatibility and processing notes on the Tool page before replacing the active save.

Game-specific backup note

Close Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition, let the launcher finish any synchronization, then copy the complete documented save directory to a dated folder outside the live path. Preserve companion files rather than selecting only the newest-looking record.

06 / Troubleshooting

When a save is missing or rejected.

Start with reversible checks. Do not delete or overwrite the only copy while diagnosing a path, cloud-sync, version, or format problem.

Game-specific notes

If progress is missing after a restore, confirm the active Windows account, storefront/profile, cloud state, and exact directory first. Restore the untouched backup before experimenting with individual files or older autosaves.

A

Confirm the correct profile.

Games, launchers, and operating systems may keep separate save folders for different users, editions, or profiles.

B

Check cloud synchronization.

A cloud service can restore an older file or overwrite a local change. Preserve both copies before resolving a conflict.

C

Check Tool compatibility.

A matching filename does not prove a matching format. Verify platform, game version, extension, and Tool support state.

D

Restore the untouched backup.

If the game rejects a modified save, return to the original backup before attempting another change.
