Idle Research – Save game – location, backup, installation
August 3, 2022Where can I find the Idle Research game save, in what directory to backup or install another saved game downloaded from the internet?
Save Game location
To install a new save game or make a backup copy of the current save game you need to get to the hidden folder, there are three ways (Windows):
- Enter the path in the folder address bar: C:/Users/Username/AppData/LocalLow/CryptoGrounds/Idle Research/saves/ (replace “username” with the name of the account you are currently using)
- Press “Win + R”, then enter %appdata%, go back to the AppData folder and then open: LocalLow -> CryptoGrounds -> Idle Research -> saves
- In the system search engine, type %appdata%, go back to the AppData folder and open: LocalLow -> CryptoGrounds -> Idle Research -> saves
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/CryptoGrounds/Idle Research/saves/
Linus: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME//unity3d/CryptoGrounds/Idle Research/saves/
