Frequently Asked Questions
How do I back up Split Fiction 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 Split Fiction to confirm your progress loaded.
Why is my Split Fiction save not loading after I restore it?
Steam Cloud can overwrite a local restore. Pause cloud sync for Split Fiction in Steam before copying back your backup, then launch the game. Re-enable sync once you confirm the correct save loaded.
Does Split Fiction store co-op progress in local save files?
Yes, Split Fiction progression is tied to the local save data listed above and can also sync through Steam Cloud. Friend invites and platform account data are separate from the actual save files.
Can I transfer my Split Fiction 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 Split Fiction to confirm your progress loaded correctly before removing the old backup.
What should I do if my Split Fiction 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.
