Risk of Rain 2 is a hellaciously challenging and fun roguelike from Hopoo Games. Unfortunately, one of the biggest challenges seems to be related to your profiles getting overwritten and even your unlocked characters will disappear. Here’s a mini-guide to help you restore lost profiles or saves.

Risk of Rain 2: Restoring lost progress/corrupted saves

Each time you launch Risk of Rain 2, it’s worth knowing that there’s a chance your save could get wiped. This is because launching the game can sometimes lead to a prompt where you’re asked to create a new profile. Doing so will have your existing profile wiped via the in-game panel and the loss of all your progress.

Thankfully, there’s a quick fix. All you need to do is check Steam’s actual installation folder (not Risk of Rain 2‘s) and find the “userdata” directory. The user ID numbers will be different for everyone, but you should still see “632360” since that’s Risk of Rain 2‘s app ID. Open it and check out remote\UserProfiles.

Here’s an example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<user id>\632360\remote\UserProfiles

As you can see above, I’ve got two XML files in that folder. One of those (the one that’s highlighted) happens to be the original profile/save I had. The other one (recently created/newer) only popped up after I was prompted to create a new profile. Here’s what you need to do:

Create a new backup folder so you can copy your XML files just in case.
Right-click to rename the more recent XML file. Highlight the entire filename and copy it. Delete that file once you’ve copied the filename and once you have a backup.
Right-click the older XML file to rename it and copy the more recent file’s name.
Launch Risk of Rain 2.

Once you start the game, it should now detect the correct profile you have. You’ll be able to check on your progress once more. For future reference, anytime you’re prompted to create a new profile, just avoid doing so.

Risk of Rain 2 is available as part of Steam’s early access program. For more information, check out our guides and features hub.

Corrupted Profiles

I need some Technical help here:

In the profile-select section of the game there are listed at least 5-6 corrupted profiles that do not show in my save-folder over the windows-explorer. I am also unable to delete those in-game. I want to get rid of them.
Reinstalling does not solve it, as well as restarting my PC. I do not use any mods.

Can somebody please assist me here? I do not know how it came to this.

Here's an answer copy/pasted from a steam thread:

"My brother had this issue, this is how you fix.

Issue is that you made (or were forced to make) new profile. We are going to reinstate your old profile and save it as your "new" profile.

Go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<your steam id here>\632360\remote\UserProfiles

There will be 2 xml files here. Rename the Older one the Newer one, hit save and yay!"

Your number will be different, so just make your way to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata folder and figure out which profile is yours. From there, seek out the 632360 folder and you'll be well on your way. Your save file will look pretty similar to mine in the image below.
