There is nothing worse than sinking 20 hours into exploring the haunted depths of Minakami Village, finally capturing the Kusabi, and fully upgrading your Camera Obscura—only to have your save file corrupt due to a sudden crash at a red save lantern. Whether you want to manually backup your Nightmare difficulty progress, transfer your save to a new PC, or modify the config file to uncap the frame rate, you first need to find where Koei Tecmo hides this data on your drive.
Below is the exact file path for FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE on Windows and Steam Deck, along with a safer, automated method to manage your backups so you never lose your Ghost List progress.

Editor’s View: Why This Matters
“We have all been there. You are deep into the Kurosawa House, your health is blinking red, you have zero Herbal Medicines left, and you are desperately rushing to a save point. Suddenly—a random PC crash during the auto-save sequence. When you relaunch the game, the ‘Continue’ option is greyed out. It is a survival horror fan’s worst nightmare.
I specifically wrote this guide because the game runs on Koei Tecmo’s proprietary KT Engine. Unlike modern Unreal Engine games that put saves in the AppData folder, KT Engine titles almost always route your save data directly into your Windows Documents folder, which confuses many players. Even if you don’t plan on using trainers, please backup your SAVEDATA folder manually right now. Don’t let a corrupted file force you to face the Sae Kurosawa boss fight all over again.”
Windows PC Save File Location
For the Steam and PC Game Pass versions of FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE, the save files (including your story progression, unlocked outfits, and Ghost List) are stored in your Windows Documents folder, adhering to the standard KT Engine structure.
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\KoeiTecmo\FATAL FRAME 2 REMAKE\SAVEDATA\How to navigate there quickly:
- Open your Windows File Explorer.
- Click on the Documents shortcut in the left-hand quick access panel.
- Open the KoeiTecmo folder.
- Open the FATAL FRAME 2 REMAKE folder, and you will see your SAVEDATA directory.
(Note: If you have Steam Cloud sync enabled, a backup version of your save is also stored in your Steam directory under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<YourSteamID>\2845120\remote\)
FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE Config File Location (Graphics & Settings)
If you need to manually tweak graphics settings (like disabling Film Grain, turning off V-Sync, or adjusting the FOV) that aren’t properly applying in the in-game menu, you will need to edit the engine’s configuration file.
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\KoeiTecmo\FATAL FRAME 2 REMAKE\graphics.xml
(Note: Some display settings are also saved in system.ini in the same folder).
How to Edit: Right-click the .xml oder .ini file and select Open with Notepad. Warning: Be careful not to change resolution or rendering values you don’t understand, as this can cause a black screen on startup.
Steam Deck / Linux Save Location
If you are playing the game on the Steam Deck, the Windows Documents file structure is emulated deep within the Proton compatibility layer.
/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2845120/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/KoeiTecmo/FATAL FRAME 2 REMAKE/Tipp: The number “2845120” is the Steam App ID. If your folder has a different number string, you can verify the exact App ID for the game by searching it on SteamDB.

FAQ
Q: Can I transfer my FATAL FRAME II REMAKE save to another PC?
Yes. Simply copy the entire contents of the SAVEDATA folder located in your KoeiTecmo Documents directory to the exact same location on the new computer.
Q: What happens if I delete the config file?
Usually, the game will regenerate a default config file upon the next launch, resetting your audio and graphics settings to their default states. However, we strictly recommend renaming the file to .bak instead of permanently deleting it.
Q: Does modifying save files get me banned?
No. In a single-player narrative game like this, modifying your save file (e.g., adding Spirit Points or unlocking costumes) will not get you banned. You are completely safe to tweak your offline experience.
Schlussfolgerung
Locating your FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE save file is a crucial skill, whether you are recovering from a game-breaking glitch, migrating your ghost list to a Steam Deck, or manually tweaking config files for a smoother 60FPS experience.
