If I uninstall the game, do I lose my save?

[derpygalaxy]

I'm running low on space and would like to delete some of my AC games. I don't want to lose my save though in case I want to go back and 100% it. Anyone know if the saves will stay? (Planning on deleting AC2, Brotherhood, Revelations, 3 and Black Flag.

yeah I lost 3 save like this, there is no cloud for that game, for some reasons.

I read that the saves are stored on Uplay's cloud storage.

Nope. Uplay cloud synchronization for this game was disabled in 2013.
Cloud sync was causing issues with save files when this game launched so they just removed it instead of fixing the problem.
All the other games you mentioned in the op still have cloud support.

Yes sadly i noticed it too after almost finishing the game i have to restart fully over .

Not any longer. Ubisoft ate my save files too. Guess I won't be playing this game again.

I played over 40 hours of this game and was almost done and got a new pc and installed the game on a new Drive and it is gone. If I want to finish I'll either have to start over or watch what the ending is on YouTube or something. I am so mad right now

Do you still have access to the old PC that you played Black Flag on? If so, the save files are probably still there on the disk. You can easily copy them to a USB and transfer them to your new PC.

If you play on Steam, the saves are located: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\[User ID]\437

If you bought the game on the Ubisoft store, the saves are located: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\[User ID]\273​

If you installed the game to a custom folder, you'll have to look in that folder instead.

Copy the save files from there, then go to the same location on the new PC and transfer the files to that folder. You should then be able to access them from the new PC. This worked for me when I transferred the game from an old PC to a new one.

Hope this helps!
