Where to Find Resident Evil Requiem Save File & Config Location (PC)

Windows PC Save File Location (Steam)

Unlike Unreal Engine or Unity games, Capcom’s RE Engine strictly saves your progress directly into your Steam Client’s userdata directory.

How to navigate there quickly:

1. Open your File Explorer and navigate to the drive where you installed Steam (usually the C: drive).
2. Vai a Program Files (x86) > Steam > userdata.
3. Open the folder matching your specific Steam ID (a unique string of numbers).
4. Locate the folder with the Resident Evil Requiem App ID (Check the game’s store page URL for this number).
5. Aprire la sezione remote > win64_save folder. Your .bin files (like data00-1.bin) are your actual save slots.

Resident Evil Requiem Config File Location

If you need to manually tweak graphics settings—like forcing Ray Tracing off, disabling Motion Blur, or changing the FOV—that are causing crashes in the in-game menu, you will need to edit the configuration file.

How to Edit: Right-click the config.ini file and select Open with Notepad.

Attenzione: Be careful not to change lines you don’t understand, as this can crash the RE Engine on startup. Always make a copy of the file before editing.

Xbox Game Pass Save Location

If you are playing Resident Evil Requiem via PC Game Pass or the Windows Store, Microsoft encrypts the save files and hides them in a completely different directory.

Nota: These files will look like random strings of hexadecimal letters and numbers. You cannot easily rename them to transfer to the Steam version due to Microsoft’s encryption.

Steam Deck / Linux Save Location

If you are playing Resident Evil Requiem on the Steam Deck, the Steam Cloud automatically syncs your userdata saves to the native Linux Steam directory.

The Smarter Way: One-Click Backup with XMODhub

Navigating through hidden userdata folders every time you want to backup a save before a tricky boss fight is tedious and prone to error. One accidental delete or cloud sync overwrite, and your hard-earned progress is gone forever.

Q: Can I transfer my Resident Evil Requiem save to another PC?

Yes. Simply copy the entire contents of the win64_save folder mentioned above to the exact same location on the new computer. However, ensure both accounts share the same Steam ID, as Capcom saves are strictly account-bound.

Q: What happens if I delete the config file?

Usually, the RE Engine will regenerate a default config.ini file upon the next launch, resetting your graphics settings to default. This is a common fix for “Black Screen on Startup” errors. However, we strictly recommend renaming the file to config.ini.bak instead of deleting it permanently.

Q: Does modifying save files ban me?

In single-player mode, modifying your save file (e.g., adding resources or unlocking weapons) will not get you banned. However, ensure you are not uploading artificially modified clear times to official Capcom RE.net leaderboards.

Conclusione

Locating your Resident Evil Requiem save file is a crucial skill, whether you are recovering from a glitch, migrating your progress to a Steam Deck, or manually tweaking config files for better FPS.
