Kingdom Come: Deliverance uses Windows’ Saved Games folder, which is easier to back up than many AppData layouts, but its nearby profile/configuration directory can create confusion about what actually contains progress. SaveEditor separates the saves tree from profile XML and recommends copying them for different purposes. The page also emphasizes build, DLC, and mod context: a structurally intact save can still fail if the installation that loads it no longer matches the environment that created it.
For this PC reference, the documented storage is Windows: %USERPROFILE%Saved Gameskingdomcomesaves. The known file or folder pattern is Profile/campaign save files below the saves tree; configuration profiles live separately under Saved Gameskingdomcomeprofilesdefault.. The game keeps saves under the Windows Saved Games known folder rather than AppData. Configuration/profile XML is nearby but outside the saves directory, so backup scope can be chosen deliberately.
Backup guidance: Back up the entire kingdomcomesaves directory. If preserving user configuration or mod-related profile settings too, copy profilesdefault separately so save data and settings remain distinguishable. Steam Cloud, GOG Galaxy, Epic, EA, and Xbox cloud support are documented depending on storefront. Launcher and cloud context matters because Multiple storefronts are documented, but the normal Windows save root is shared. Cloud services can still restore a conflicting copy.
Compatibility and recovery should stay conservative. A save can depend on the game version, DLC, or mod state. Restoring the file alone does not reproduce every external dependency. If the expected progress is not visible, If a restored save refuses to load, compare game build/DLC/mod state and check cloud synchronization before assuming the save bytes are damaged. 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.
