Frequently Asked Questions
How do I back up Avowed saves before reinstalling?
Copy your save file from the Windows path listed above to a safe folder before uninstalling. After reinstalling, paste it back to the same location and launch Avowed to confirm your progress loaded.
Why is my Avowed save not loading after I restore it?
Steam Cloud can overwrite a local restore. Pause cloud sync for Avowed in Steam before copying back your backup, then launch the game. Re-enable sync once you confirm the correct save loaded.
Can I transfer my Avowed save to a new PC?
Yes. Copy the save file from the Windows path above on your old PC to the same location on the new machine. Launch Avowed to confirm your progress loaded correctly before removing the old backup.
What should I do if my Avowed save file is corrupted?
Check the save folder for backup copies and restore the newest working version. If cloud sync is enabled, pause it first so a bad local file does not immediately sync over your older backup.
Will reinstalling Avowed delete my progress?
Reinstalling the game alone does not always remove local save files, but you should not rely on that. Keep a manual backup of the full save location before uninstalling.
