Have fun guys, I'm out.

So, I guess I'm not ever going to get an actual answer out of you? Oh...ok. :(

Strawmen and deflection are the only tools he has available. There never was going to be a response.

I read here a few days back someone downloaded AC3 from what you guys mentioned but he came to the conclusion it still gives the error.

Are you guys saying yours is currently working on a different version downloaded somwhere else with the same save we use on the current version of the game?

No, I haven't tried it yet, and don't know that I care enough to try it.

I paused the update and backed up an old version and managed to get it to work; someone else did the same thing. I seem to be the only one here who managed to get old saves working on the updated version for unclear reasons.

I really wish you knew how. I still have backups of my old saves as well, though I highly doubt the save files are part of the problem. I actually installed a new game drive in my PC recently, and I wish I hadn't wiped the old one now. I'd have had a backup of the game as well.

I guess I just putt too much faith in the Cloud. Going to go ahead and just make a massive folder with all my Cloud and non Cloud Saves then.

At the very least AC3 is the only game so far to have screwed me over from relying on the Cloud Saves.

Yes, but It has to be a steam-rip, otherwise Steam just deletes half of the files right away and begins to update the game which results in unloadable saves. If it's a steam-rip, Steam acknowledges game files as normal and doesn't touch them until you choose AC3 in your library list. If you do, then again, welcome to updated game...

Calm down, I just contacted them. :gearthumbsup: They are working hard to fix the problem. :ACCRcrest:

TBH, after almost two weeks of waiting I just don't give a flying ♥♥♥♥ about their 'hard work'. And I bet It won't be fixed, they'll just shut up about it like it has never happened.

I got a Steam backup file of AC3. I could rollback to the old version by myself, however it seems I can't avoid this broken language update, can I?

I am asking because I activated all DLCs but the error message says I wouldn't own some. Makes me assume a DLC could be deregistered by that patch.
So, if I start a new game now to replay the 40+ hours I already got, do I actually have all my DLCs at least?

Can't you just make a save and find out?(...)

Nah, some DLCs are content that you are going to find later in the process. Although you can see the Tyranny of Washington directly in the menu and probably check for multiplayer DLCs pretty easily, something like costumes for Connor or DLC areas or jobs aren't just there from the beginning.
And I still don't know if Benedict Arnold is registered by Uplay, cause Uplay only shows up my Deluxe key and all the Season Pass DLCs, but not the Benedict Arnold key I got from Steam.

[Masochistic Monk]

I think the only way to see any sign of the Benedict Arnold DLC is the mission icon in New York City starting in sequence 9. If you redeemed the key, it should be there, uplay just does a bad job of letting you know it's redeemed.

Guys, I think you will love it.
Tonight I decided to finish my playthrough and get last 5% of synchronization, but Steam didn't allow me to launch the game anymore without update. So I backed up the entire AC3 folder and allowed Steam to update AC3. And of course I couldn't load my save after that once more.

I compared two sets of files - from my back up and from the game folder - and noticed that in updated version of the game the file 'DataPC_DX11_4_dlc.forge' is missing. There are several '*.PC_DX11.forge' files from 'DataPC_DX11.forge' to 'DataPC_DX11_10_dlc.forge', but not the 'DataPC_DX11_4_dlc.forge'. I copied it from my back up to the game folder and guess what? Now I can load my old saves on updated version of the game.
Could somebody try to do the same and check, does it work for him (or her) or not?
Here is the link on 'DataPC_DX11_4_dlc.forge' - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B--LhVFm_ryCYk56bkxyNDNvOXc/view?usp=sharing

And please tell me you believe those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ morons who lied they tried to fix the issue with saves for at least two days and couldn't notice so overwhelmingly complicated thing. God I hate those raffs.

[Masochistic Monk]

That would explain why it worked for only me, since I copied and overwrote the old files onto the updated version (which restored that file) and then verified cache later on (which wouldn't remove "extraneous" files).

I have files ending in 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10 in addition to DataPC_DX11.forge, and 52 DataPC_[...].forge files in total. Is it the same for you?
