Save Game Location for Steam

[CaptainWinks]

I have looked on the net and the forums but can't seem to find where the save game location is at. I know it can save on the cloud but where is it saving on my harddrive? I looked in the steamapps and other normal locations but can't seem to find it. Anyone know?

[Dellers]

Yeah, they always hide them. That can be a problem, since Ubisoft titles often screw up so that you lose your save. Most of my Splinter Cell: Blacklist buddies lost all their progress, including leaderboard world records.

[CaptainWinks]

I am just surprised no one has posted the location yet.

I would like to know as well, somehow AC4 lost all my progress, I put in over 8 hours yesterday and it synchronized this morning to the server, but now i'm only at 2% in the beginning of the game :/

Found it

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\

Per the ubisoft official forums, its not legal there to discuss the location of the savegame location since its copyrighted.

[CaptainWinks]

Good thing this isn't an official Ubisoft forum then huh.

if you fix that problem or get to the mission when you first get to the diving bell can i use your save?

This happened to me too, except I didn't lose quite as much progress. Really is a bummer. =d I even made sure I saw the save game prompt before I had quit, apparently AC4 doesn't really save when it says it does.

I can confirm:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\

You will find a long numbered folder. In this folder you will find the "437" which is your savegame folder

Hi all,
I had a really nice one when they updated uplay for the freedom cry package.
Before the DLC, I had a 98% overall completion, I then updated to the new DLC and try to launch the game which returned an internet connection error (which wasn't obviously the real reason). I then googled a bit to find that from time totime reinstalling UPLAY got rid of the issue.
After reinstalling uplay I managed to get in the game after sync with the cloud and found not a single savegame whatsoever :-).
A guy from the customer service told me that I erased my savegames when reinstalling uplay (obviously I did) but what about the cloud savegames (I really suspect they messed up and erased all my progress when they had their last maintenance).

[Demetrius]

Forgot to say : the guy from customer support told me I could get a savegame from savemygame.fr so he basically told me I had to cheat :-)

Hey, thank you for helping me find my saved game. But now how can I open in? I don't know how to get that save into the game so I can play it.

Just for future reference for anybody that is searching for answers on how to recover a lost game save:

1) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft
2) right click the Ubisoft Game Launcher folder and choose properties
3) Click Previous Version
4) Hopefully there is a pervious version backed up. if so you can double click it in the list.
(There will be a folder in there with a long chain of numbers as its name. Inside there will be one or more folders with a couple numbers for their name. These are the gamesaves for whatever Ubisoft games you have. BLACK FLAG'S gamesave folder is '437'. Copy that one and replace your current damaged one.)

I had played 60 hours of AC4 and I lost my saves, now a few months later I'm replaying it again
