There is nothing worse than sinking 100 hours into Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, breeding the perfect Monstie with a flawless gene bingo board, only to worry about a corrupted save file or a Steam Cloud sync error.

Whether you want to manually backup your hard-earned progress before fighting a Twisted Elder Dragon, transfer your save to another gaming PC, or modify the config file to uncap your frame rate, you first need to find where the data is hidden on your drive.

Below is the exact RE Engine file path for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection on Windows and Steam Deck, along with a safer, automated method to manage your backups.

Editor’s View: Why This Matters

“We have all been there. You are deep into Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, carrying a super-rare Rainbow Egg back from a high-rank den, and suddenly—a power outage, or a random crash during an auto-save. When you relaunch, the ‘Continue’ button is greyed out. Losing a perfectly bred team is a Rider’s worst nightmare.

I specifically wrote this guide because Capcom’s RE Engine handles save files differently than most games. Instead of using your Documents or AppData folders, the saves are buried deep inside the Steam directory. Even if you don’t plan on using mods or tweaking your game, please backup your win64_save folder manually right now. Don’t lose your favorite Monsties and learn this lesson the hard way like I did.”

— Catherine Hu, Senior Editor at XMODhub

Windows PC Save File Location

Because Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection runs on the RE Engine, your save files (which contain your Rider’s progress, Monstie stable, Zenith genes, and inventory) are tied directly to your Steam User ID folder, not the standard AppData location.

The direct path is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\YOUR_STEAM_ID\APP_ID\remote\win64_save\

How to navigate there quickly:

1
Open your Windows File Explorer and navigate to your main Steam installation folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam).
2
Open the userdata folder.
3
Select the folder that matches your specific Steam ID (a long string of numbers).
4
Look for the folder named with the game’s specific App ID (you can find the exact number by checking the game’s URL on the Steam Store).
5
Open the remote folder, and you will find your win64_save directory. This contains your main progression files.

Monster Hunter Stories 3 Config File Location (Graphics & Settings)

If you need to manually tweak graphics settings that aren’t properly applying in the in-game menu (like disabling Motion Blur, forcing V-Sync off, or tweaking the RE Engine’s volumetric lighting for better performance), you will need to edit the configuration file.

Unlike the save files, the config file is located in the game’s root installation folder.

Path:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Monster Hunter Stories 3 Twisted Reflection\config.ini

🔥 How to Edit & Warning: Right-click the config.ini file and select Open with Notepad. Be careful not to change resolution or rendering lines you don’t understand, as this can crash the RE Engine to a black screen on startup.

Steam Deck / Linux Save Location

If you are playing Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection on the Steam Deck to farm eggs on the go, the file structure uses the native SteamOS directory layout rather than Proton emulation for your user data.

Path:/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/userdata/YOUR_STEAM_ID/APP_ID/remote/win64_save/

✨ Tip: Just like on Windows, you will need to know your Steam ID and the game’s Steam App ID to locate the exact folder.

常見問題

Q: Can I transfer my Monster Hunter Stories 3 save to another PC?

A: Yes. Simply copy the entire contents of the win64_save folder mentioned above to the exact same location on the new computer. Ensure you are pasting it into the correct Steam ID folder on the new PC so the game recognizes your Rider.

Q: What happens if I delete the config.ini file?

A: Usually, the RE Engine will regenerate a default config.ini file upon the next launch, resetting your audio and graphics settings to factory defaults. However, we strictly recommend renaming the file to config.bak instead of deleting it permanently.

Q: Does modifying save files ban me?

A: In single-player offline mode, modifying your save file (e.g., adding Zenny or Bottle Caps) will not get you banned. However, if you take heavily modified saves or illegal Monstie stats into online PvP battles or public Co-Op Dens, you risk triggering Capcom’s matchmaking bans. Always play responsibly.

總結

Locating your Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection save file is a crucial skill, whether you are recovering from a game-breaking glitch, migrating your progress to a Steam Deck, or manually tweaking config files for smoother hunting.

However, digging through system folders always carries a risk. One wrong deletion can wipe out hours of egg-hatching progress instantly. If you prefer a safer, set-it-and-forget-it solution, we highly recommend the XMODhub Save Manager. It automates your backups, keeping your hard-earned Monstie stable secure so you can focus on the adventure, not the file directory.
