Different games use different gameplay preservation techniques. Some of them put the file in the AppData directory, and sometimes they even need to be searched through the registry editor. This guide will help you find the save file for Mafia II Definitive Edition.
Where are the files saved?
We go along the following path:
- Open the C: / drive.
- Click on the Users folder.
- Click on the section with the username.
- We select the section “Documents”.
The file is located in one of the subsections. This may already be enough for most users. However, often the folder is simply not displayed, since it is hidden by the system settings. We suggest further considering how to enable the visibility of hidden files.
If the folder is not displayed
Here are the ways to see the save you want.
