Confirm which path contains the newest profile

Frozen District's current support page names the former Documents location and the newer LocalLow/AppData location, plus a separate Steam Deck path. The two folders can contain different timestamps; compare before copying.

EnvironmentPublisher-listed locationSafe first action
Windows PC%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Frozen District\House Flipper 2Copy both old Documents and new AppData folders elsewhere

Migrate without sacrificing the only copy

The support article advises starting the game to create the new destination, quitting, then copying old folder content into the new location. Treat its folder deletion step as optional until you have confirmed the migrated profile loads and remains saved.

  1. Close the game and cloud-sync client; copy the old Documents folder and new AppData folder to separate dated backups.
  2. Start and quit the game once if the destination folder does not exist, as Frozen District directs.
  3. Compare profile names, file dates and sizes; do not merge folders blindly if both have recent saves.
  4. Copy the selected files into the new location, keeping the original backup intact.
  5. Launch the game and verify the expected profile and a known house appear; then make a new in-game save.
  6. Only after a later relaunch confirms the new save, consider archiving—not immediately deleting—the old folder.
  7. If the game keeps writing to the former path or still crashes, follow the publisher's current migration article or support ticket.

Before you play

  • Timestamps/profile differences checked before copying.
  • Old folder retained until a second launch is confirmed.
  • Support guidance used for redirected folders.

Frequently asked questions

Should I delete the Documents save after copying?

Not until a verified backup exists and the new profile has survived a later launch. Keeping it temporarily is safer.

Does this cover PlayStation or Xbox?

No. These file paths apply to Windows PC and a separate Steam Deck location.

Does this tool migrate files?

No. It records which checks you completed; it never reads or writes files.

Sources & revision notes

Editorial revision: November 7, 2026; not a gameplay test date. The reference notes identify source limits and version differences.

  1. Frozen District Support: Saved-state migration error (Official)

    Publisher support documents the Windows move from Documents to AppData, a Steam Deck location and manual migration steps. Back up both folders first; follow the article if the game still writes to the old location.

  2. Frozen District Support: Restore lost progress on PC (Official)

    Support says the PC game creates a backup after a play session longer than 60 minutes. Recovery is PC-only and changing profiles/files can overwrite newer work; preserve a copy first.

  3. House Flipper 2 Steam Discussions (Community)

    User-generated PC/Steam reports; include installed version, storefront, profile and whether the issue began before or after save migration. Avoid posting save folders or Windows usernames.
