Re: How do I change the local save file location?

The cleanest, surest, way to do this is by performing a complete un-/re-install (having backed-up your "\Characters" folder first, of course. 😕mileytongue: ) 

During the installation you can choose a specific location for saves.

But if you don't want to do that, then this article might help: "Moving a Steam Installation and Game":

    So I just uninstalled the game and began re-installing it through Steam. It didn't ask me where I wanted my save files, it only asked me where I wanted to store the game. 

    When I first installed it the game was indeed located in my D: drive (just as I specified), but my save files were located in my C: drive and I'm not sure that's going to change just by re-installing it. I'll let you know once the installation process finishes.

  • Nope, didn't work.

    Main game can still be found in my SteamApps, but my characters, save files, and addons are still stored in my documents on my C: Drive.
