Note: If you only want to find the game's logs on Windows and you installed an Alpha release, use the Start menu > 0 A.D. alpha > Open logs folder shortcut; SVN users can run source/tools/openlogsfolder/OpenLogsFolder.bat​ instead.

For saved games, replays, screenshots and mod data (eg: saved maps):

• C:\Users\JohnDoe\Documents\My Games\0ad\
• Just view "Documents" or "My Documents" in Explorer.

For logs and cache:

• C:\Users\JohnDoe\AppData\Local\0ad\
• You can use the %localappdata% variable as a shortcut: %localappdata%\0ad\

For user config and possibly other user data:

• C:\Users\JohnDoe\AppData\Roaming\0ad\
• You can use the %appdata% variable as a shortcut: %appdata%\0ad\
