R.E.P.O is rapidly gaining popularity, but some gameplay mechanics differ from the usual ones, which may raise the question—how do you save in R.E.P.O? The game does not have a traditional save system, but progress can be saved in certain ways. In this guide, we will explore how to do it.

How to Save in R.E.P.O

Progress in R.E.P.O can be saved in several ways. Let’s go through each of them. 

Automatic Progress Saving

The developers have implemented an automatic saving system.

• Progress is saved when exiting to the main menu or completing a shift.
• It is recommended to always exit the game properly to avoid data loss.

Manual Saving

The game does not have a full-fledged manual save option. However, you can use backup functions:

1. Find the save files (usually located at C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\LocalLow\[Developer_Name]\R.E.P.O.).
2. Copy the save folder to a safe location.
3. If needed, replace the current files with the backup copies.

Saving Issues in R.E.P.O and How to Fix Them

Sometimes, errors or difficulties occur when saving. Below are known issues and their solutions:

• Saving does not work: Try running the game as an administrator.
• Progress does not load: Verify the integrity of game files through Steam.
• Save files are corrupted: Use a backup copy or start a new game. Unfortunately, there is no other way to fix this issue.

To minimize the risk of losing progress, it is recommended to periodically create backups of save files (the method is described above in the "Manual Saving" section).
