You need to copy the contents of your local SaveGames folder and upload them to the SaveData directory on your dedicated server host via FTP. Ensure the server is stopped before uploading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.1rem; color: #e5e7eb; margin-bottom: 8px;\">Q: What happens if I delete the GameUserSettings.ini file?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #9ca3af; margin: 0;\">The game will regenerate a fresh default file upon the next launch.

You own the data. However, do not attempt to modify files if you are playing on an Official Public Server, as that data is server-side and you may trigger anti-cheat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\" style=\"color: #ffffff; border-left: 4px solid #60a5fa; padding-left: 15px; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 25px;\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">Locating your Vampires: Bloodlord Rising save file is essential for any serious player. Whether you are fixing a glitch, moving to a new PC, or setting up a dedicated server, knowing where your data lives gives you control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\">However, manual file management is risky.
