Proton creates a new WINE prefix for each game. These prefixes are located in the same library as the game, in the `steamapps/compatdata/[appid]/pfx/` directory ([appid] being the game's [Application ID](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Application_IDs)).
The default WINE prefix for Proton is located in the `Proton 3.7/dist/share/default_pfx/` directory.
# Where are my saved games located?
# Where are Proton's Wine binaries located?
Saved games are stored in the game's WINE prefix. For example, if a game's save folder is located in
```C:\Users\username\My Documents\My Games\SaveFolder```
on Windows, the folder would be located in
```(path-to-prefix)/drive_c/users/username/My Documents/My Games/SaveFolder```
The [How does Proton manage WINE prefixes?](#how-does-proton-manage-wine-prefixes) covers how to find a game's WINE prefix.
# Where are Proton's WINE binaries located?
All of Proton's binaries and libraries are stored in `Proton 3.7/dist/`. The main WINE executable is located at `Proton 3.7/dist/bin/wine`.
