What is an LSV file?

LSV files mostly belong to Divinity: Original Sin 2. LSV files are game save files used mainly by Larian Studios. They store a snapshot of a game's state, such as progress, character stats, and quests, so you can resume your play later.
Purpose and Functionality:

Divinity: Original Sin 2 and similar titles use these files to record game progress.

Some LSV files employ zlib compression, which helps to reduce the file size and may integrate data integrity checks.

These files are accessed only within the game; manual editing is not recommended because they are in a binary format.

FilExt.com tip: Using the game itself is the proper way to open and save these files. Keep backups to prevent loss in case of corruption.
