Transferring your Enshrouded world save to a dedicated server or between different servers is a straightforward process, ensuring you can keep your progress and enjoy seamless multiplayer experiences. Whether you’re upgrading your server or moving your local game to a dedicated server to play with friends, this guide will walk you through locating your Enshrouded world files and transferring them successfully.
Locating Your Enshrouded World Save Files
Understanding where your save files are stored is the first step in any transfer process. The location differs slightly depending on whether you are accessing a dedicated server or your local PC.
Dedicated Server Save File Location
On an Enshrouded dedicated server, your world save files are conveniently located in a single directory.
- Dedicated Server Path:
/savegame
This is the primary location you’ll need to access when backing up or restoring your world data on a dedicated server.
Local Windows PC Save File Location
For players hosting the game locally or playing in co-op mode, the save files are stored within your Steam installation directory. Follow these steps to find your local save files:
- Browse Local Files: Open your Steam Library, right-click on “Enshrouded,” navigate to “Manage,” and select “Browse Local Files.” This will open the game’s installation folder.
- Navigate to Userdata: From the game folder, go to
userdata > (Your SteamID) > 1203620 > Remote. Your SteamID is a unique identifier for your Steam account. - Identify Save File: Inside the
Remotefolder, you will find files related to your game saves. The relevant file for transferring your world is typically named3ad85aea.
Transferring Your Enshrouded World Save
Now that you know where your save files are located, let’s explore the process of transferring them in different scenarios.
Transferring Between Enshrouded Dedicated Servers
Moving your world between dedicated servers is useful when switching hosting providers or consolidating servers. Here’s how to do it:
- Stop Both Servers: Ensure both your source and destination Enshrouded servers are completely shut down before starting the transfer process.

/savegamedirectory and download the3ad85aeafile. This file contains your world data. - Access Destination Server and Replace Save File: Log in to your new server, navigate to the
/savegamedirectory. Delete any existing files in this folder. - Upload Save File to Destination Server: Upload the
3ad85aeafile you downloaded from your previous server to the/savegamedirectory on your new server. - Start Destination Server: Once the upload is complete, start your new Enshrouded server. Your transferred world should now be loaded.
Transferring from a Local PC to a Dedicated Server
To move your single-player or co-op world to a dedicated server for broader multiplayer access, follow these steps:
- Locate Local Save File: Follow the steps in the “Local Windows PC Save File Location” section to find and copy the
3ad85aeafile from your local machine. - Stop Dedicated Server: Shut down your Enshrouded dedicated server.
- Access Server Save Directory: Log in to your dedicated server and navigate to the
/savegamedirectory. - Upload Local Save File: Upload the
3ad85aeafile from your local PC to the/savegamedirectory on your dedicated server, replacing any existing file if necessary. - Start Dedicated Server: Restart your dedicated server. Your world, previously hosted locally, will now be accessible on the dedicated server.
