(rare for non-Steam, but some repacks mimic Steam location):

If you’re playing Resident Evil 6 and it’s the Steam version — maybe an older retail DVD, a Windows Live title, or another digital release — finding the save folder can be a headache. Steam makes it easy, but non-Steam? Not so much.

Older cracks often kept the save files directly within the game directory, especially if it is a standalone portable version.

How to Find Your Save Folder (Step-by-Step)

Non-Steam versions typically use emulators to mimic Steam behavior. The save location depends on the emulator (e.g., CODEX, RELOADED, 3DM) used to crack the game. Method A: Public Documents (Most Common) Many crackers store save data in the public user folder. C:\Users\Public\Documents\Steam\CODEX\221040\ Location: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Steam\RELOADED\221040\ File Name: save_data.bin Method B: AppData Folder (User-Specific) Some versions store data within your personal user profile.

A common issue with non-Steam versions is that the game fails to recognize a copied save file. This usually happens because the game generates a unique "Steam ID" (or emulated ID) specific to that installation.

and want more co-op action, you'll likely have a great time. However, if you are looking for the slow-burn atmospheric horror of the original games, this might feel like a departure.

Use the Windows search function (top right in File Explorer) to search for save_data.bin in your C: drive.

⚠️ Warning: Non-Steam saves are compatible with official Steam versions without a hex-editing tool (due to different encryption keys).
