In the asymmetrical multiplayer slasher game Dead by Daylight, one player assumes the position of the killer, while the other four players take on the roles of survivors who are attempting to flee from the killer.
The innovative approach that Dead by Daylight takes to the multiplayer gaming genre has garnered the game widespread acclaim from gaming publications, such as PC Gamer, which named it one of the Most Anticipated Games of 2017, and Game Informer, which referred to the game as “an intense, nail-biting experience that’s easy to recommend.”
In this article, we will show you three different approaches that are both simple and secure for backing up your Dead by Daylight save data.
How To Backup Dead by Daylight Save?
Steam has a built-in backup feature that will back up your game save as long as you’re logged into the same Steam account. To do this:
- head to Library and select Properties.
- From there, go to the Updates tab.
- From there, click on Automatic Updates.
- Then, check the box labeled Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for Dead by Daylight.
- This will automatically create a backup of your save file every time you launch the game. You can also force an update at any time by going to Settings -> Cloud -> Sync Now.
- The downside is that if you don’t have access to internet at the moment, then it won’t work.
If you don’t have access to internet at the moment or want more control over when updates are made, then another option is creating an offline copy of your Dead by Daylight folder in My Documents.
If you want to backup your save file, the first thing you’ll need is an external hard drive. The second thing you’ll need is a copy of the game on that external hard drive.
One way of doing this is downloading and installing a digital copy onto the external hard drive, then deleting it from your computer’s hard drive.
This will still leave the game installed on your computer, but with no save file for it! You can also back up your save file by copying the __SteamLibrary__ folder from one of your computers (wherever you have the game installed) and pasting it onto another computer (wherever you have another installation of Steam). You can also make use of cloud storage solutions like Google Drive or iCloud.
What are the steps I need to take to back up my PC game saves?
- To open the File Explorer, use the button located on the taskbar of Windows 10.
- Launch the game, and then open the folder that contains the save file subdirectory.
- Choose the subdirectory that contains your saved game files.
- To copy anything, choose the home tab and then press the Copy to button.
- From the menu, choose a folder for it to be copied into.
Is there a way to preserve progress in Dead by Daylight?
The save data should be usable as long as the area is the same. Users have confirmed that this works with other games like as Battlefield 4 and Horizon Zero Dawn; thus, it ought to function the same way with your copy of Dead by Daylight.
