There are many files, each configuring different settings.  Some only apply if you're playing single player mode or running a server instance.
+
{{ii}} Configuration data is stored in multiple files at the above locations.
*<code>Engine</code> - Game engine settings.
 
*<code>Game</code> - Game client settings.

*<code>ServerSettings</code> - Applies only to single player mode or running a private server.
 
*<code>Compat</code> -
 
*<code>GameUserSettings</code> - Game client graphic settings.
 
*<code>GraniteCooked</code> -
 
*<code>Hardware</code> -
 
*<code>Lightmass</code> -
 
*<code>Scalability</code> -
 
 
 
These actually are overrides for the default configuration files which are located farther up in the path:
 
{{p|steam}/steamapps/common/Conan Exiles/ConanSandbox/Config/}}
 
*<code>DefaultDeviceProfiles</code> - Device profile defaults.
 
*<code>DefaultEditor</code> - Default editor settings.
 
*<code>DefaultEngine</code> - Default engine settings.

{{ii}} Game can be played "offline" on a local single player server or on any given server.
'''When playing the game online saves are done on the server in question.''' 
 
 
 
In '''singleplayer''' mode the game actually runs a local server instance.
 
 
 
Of note are the following files:
 
*<code>game.db</code> - Game instance database (SQLite3).
 
*<code>SaveGames\savegamefile.sav</code> - Additional character data.
 
 
 
 
 
''You will see multiple game_backup files, it creates and removes these automatically.''
 
 
 
 
 
If you wish to backup your private server or singleplayer instance, back up the following folders (and subfolders):

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths).
