i gather you have seen this
Where can I find my save files?
When you start the game for the first time after the Cloud Save Patch from 20th June 2022, your save files will be in the same folder as before, these will be marked as ‘legacy saves’. When you play with a character or world, when it saves the next time, the file will be moved to one of two locations.
By default, if you have Steam Cloud saves enabled in your Steam settings (which is enabled by default), the file will be moved to the new cloud location. It's found in your steam/userdata folder, which is a folder not meant to be manipulated manually, but if you want the files to make manual backups for example, you can find the paths below.
If you have disabled Steam Cloud saving in the past, your saves will instead be moved to a new folder in the same base directory as the old saves, but with the new folder called “worlds_local” and “characters_local”.
Any time a file is moved between folders (either automatically from legacy, or manually using the button, a local backup is created). (See details below ...)
Local files can be found at:
Windows: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim
Linux: .config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim
Steam Cloud save folder:
Windows: Steam\userdata\NUMERICSTEAMID\892970\remote
Linux: .steam/steam/userdata/NUMERICSTEAMID/892970/remote
A final note on the Steam Cloud save folder – In the ‘892970’ folder you will also see a folder named “ac” (auto cloud) which stores your old legacy saves. With this new system, we simply keep this one enabled as well.
