how do you access the save game location if you bought the game from the Microsoft store, not steam?
Microsoft save location is in C:\users\”user name”\appdata\local\packages\studiowildcard.”bunch of numbers\localstate\
The Task Manager shows the location of the executable file that is running. Which is D:\Program Files\Epic Games\ARKSurvivalEvolved\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64. But backing up the Win64 folder will backup your game. I read somewhere that the folder to backup is D:\Program Files\Epic Games\ARKSurvivalEvolved\ShooterGame\Saved. But after making several backups over a couple of months I decided it was time to test how well the backups worked. Short version – they didn’t. It was like starting the game all over.
So till trying to figure out a Windows 10 Backup/Restore procedure that actually works for Ark:Survival Evolved (Steam)
