Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition is a remaster of the classic RTS series that played a huge role in putting the Warhammer franchise on the video game map. This faithful remaster invites new and returning players to a classic PC title with plenty of modern bells and whistles.
It includes all the extra expansions in one package, along with plenty of quality-of-life features. Though if you’re looking for your local progress data, here is the save file location for Warhammer 40K Dawn of War – Definitive Edition.
Dawn of War – Definitive Edition Save File Location
Like the original, you can run multiple profiles at the same time in the Definitive Edition of Dawn of War. Each of these will have a separate folder within theProfilesfolder, but for the sake of ease and management, I recommend backing up the entireDawn of Warfolder instead.
You can access the same save file location for the Definitive Edition by entering the following address in Windows Run or Explorer:
Don’t worry, the save files for the original are in a completely different place, so there is no way you can mess up the location.
Does Dawn of War – Definitive Edition Have Cloud Saves?
Yes! Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition has support forSteam Cloud, and all your progress is automatically uploaded and downloaded when you close the game. So, as long as you’re logged into Steam on another device, you will be able to access your progress anywhere.
In addition to Steam Cloud, the Definitive Edition has support for a few other Steam features as well, includingFamily Share, which lets you share the game with members of your Steam family.
I’m glad that the developers have kept multiple profiles in the remaster as well and neatly organized save files for each, so you can move around specific profiles if you want as well. Overall, the remaster for Dawn of War is now the best way to play it, especially if you’ve been waiting for a modern re-release that collects all the expansions in a neat little package. I’m also glad that the remaster doesn’t outright replace the original on Steam either, and it’s a separate entry.
