Backing up games in Steam

hello.

If I back up a game in steam, reinstall windows and restore the game, does it preserve my game progress and saves etc?

The game does not feature cloud saves.

Many thanks.

Saves are usually stored elsewhere, depends on the game itself.

Best thing to do is to search on Google for the games save location and back the save up as well to be on the safe side.

My concern is that even if I backup the saved games when I reinstall the game it won’t recognise my scenario progress, even if I have the saved game to prove it!

It’s called Railway Empire.

Thanks for all the help, turns out Railway Empire does support cloud sync so all was well post reinstallation!

What about Planet Coaster?

That definitely has cloud backups.
