%LOCALAPPDATA%<\/code>, and look for the Everwind folder.<\/p>\nFor players who purchased the game on Steam or the Epic Games Store, the Unreal Engine 5 save files are generally located in the hidden Windows AppData directory.<\/p>\n
The exact file path is:
\nC:\\Users\\YourUsername\\AppData\\Local\\Everwind\\Saved\\SaveGames<\/code><\/p>\nHow to navigate there quickly:<\/p>\n
\n- Press the Windows Key + R<\/strong> to open the Run dialog box.<\/li>\n
- Type
%localappdata%<\/code> and press Enter.<\/li>\n- Scroll down and open the folder named Everwind<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Open Saved > SaveGames<\/strong>. Your
.sav<\/code> files are located here.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nNote: If you cannot see the AppData folder manually, open File Explorer, click the View tab at the top, and check the box for Hidden items.<\/p>\n
Xbox Game Pass \/ Microsoft Store Save Location<\/h2>\n
If you are playing Everwind via PC Game Pass, Microsoft encrypts the save data and stores it in a completely different, highly protected system folder.<\/p>\n
The Windows Store file path is:
\nC:\\Users\\YourUsername\\AppData\\Local\\Packages\\Everwind_PackageString\\SystemAppData\\wgs<\/code><\/p>\nInside the wgs<\/code> (Windows Game Saves) folder, you will see folders with long alphanumeric strings. These are your encrypted save files. Backing these up manually is incredibly difficult because the file names are randomized. (See the XMODhub Save Manager section below for an easier Game Pass solution).<\/p>\nWhere to Find the Everwind Config File (.ini)<\/h2>\n
If you are trying to manually tweak graphics settings that are missing from the in-game menu (such as disabling Motion Blur, forcing V-Sync off, or altering the FOV for better visibility while navigating your airship), you need to edit the Unreal Engine 5 configuration files.<\/p>\n
The Config path is:
\nC:\\Users\\YourUsername\\AppData\\Local\\Everwind\\Saved\\Config\\WindowsNoEditor<\/code><\/p>\nHow to Edit:<\/strong> Right-click the GameUserSettings.ini<\/code> or Engine.ini<\/code> file and select Open with Notepad.<\/p>\nWarning:<\/strong> Always make a copy of the .ini file before changing values. Deleting or breaking a line of code can cause the game to crash on startup.<\/p>\nSteam Deck \/ Linux Save Location<\/h2>\n
Playing Everwind on the go? The Steam Deck uses Proton to emulate the Windows file structure. Your save files are buried inside the compatdata folder.<\/p>\n
The Steam Deck file path is:
\n\/home\/deck\/.local\/share\/Steam\/steamapps\/compatdata\/EverwindAppID\/pfx\/drive_c\/users\/steamuser\/AppData\/Local\/Everwind\/Saved\/SaveGames\/<\/code><\/p>\nTip: You will need to know the specific Steam App ID for Everwind (the numerical code). You can find this number by looking at the game’s URL on the official Steam Store website.<\/p>\n
Troubleshooting: Steam Cloud Sync Errors<\/h2>\n
If your Everwind save file keeps disappearing or reverting to an older version, Steam Cloud might be conflicting with your local files.<\/p>\n
\n- Right-click Everwind in your Steam Library and select Properties<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Under the General tab, toggle Steam Cloud to OFF<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Play the game, force a manual save by sleeping in your airship bed, and then exit.<\/li>\n
- You can safely turn Steam Cloud back on, and it should upload your newest local save to the servers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The Smarter Way: 1-Click Auto-Backups with XMODhub<\/h2>\n
Navigating through hidden AppData folders every time you want to secure your progress is tedious and risky. One accidental click, and your massive sky-fortress is deleted forever. Furthermore, if you are on Game Pass, managing those alphanumeric folders is nearly impossible.<\/p>\n

Q: Can I transfer my Everwind save file to another PC?<\/h3>\n
A: Yes. For Steam and Epic users, simply copy the entire contents of the SaveGames<\/code> folder mentioned above onto a USB drive, and paste it into the exact same directory path on your new computer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Q: What happens if I accidentally delete the config (.ini) file?<\/h3>\n
A: Don’t panic. If you delete GameUserSettings.ini<\/code>, the Unreal Engine 5 will automatically generate a brand new, default config file the next time you launch Everwind. All your graphics settings will just revert to their standard defaults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Q: Can I get banned for modifying my single-player save file?<\/h3>\n
A: No. Modifying your local save file (e.g., giving yourself more Aether Crystals via a hex editor or trainer) in a single-player environment will not result in a ban. Just ensure you do not use modified files or trainers in official dedicated multiplayer servers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Conclusion: Protect Your Progress<\/h2>\n
Locating your Everwind save file is a vital skill for recovering from game-breaking physics glitches, migrating to a Steam Deck, or fine-tuning .ini<\/code> config files for maximum FPS while soaring through dense clouds.<\/p>\nHowever, digging through hidden system directories is a chore. If you prefer a highly secure, “set it and forget it” solution, the XMODhub Save Manager automates your backups and eliminates the risk of human error.<\/p>\n
