Lost my save, Twice!

[Damo]

The first time I boot it up I only played for around an hour, getting through the first two sections of the game at gold level (the boring easy tracks) and then the next day, poof, gone.

So the next day after being slightly annoyed that my past progress has vanished I started again and this time I got to to the expert levels spending around 2 hours on the game, I was hoping the next day I could come back and do the expert levels I have been longing for. But to my amazement my current career progress has yet again gone back to 0%.

Can't bring myself to do all of the early game boring tracks again, giving them a week or so to sort their ♥♥♥♥ out.

Do you have Uplay set to save your game saves to the cloud?

Don't know if it will help at this point, but making sure Uplay's cloud for save games is OFF is generally the first thing I check when I get a new "Uplay-enabled" game.

Look for the settings in Uplay, it usually shows after you exit the game, and if I remember correctly, there is a gear-like icon, just click it and look for cloud settings, and turn off cloud for save games.

May prevent problems with saves in the future, don't know if it will get your saves back at this point, however.

Thanks for the advice, I'll make sure to do that when I've got over it and am willing to play the early parts of the game again.

From Steam Discussions about Assassin’s Creed Unity (it can refer to all Uplay DRM game swith Uplay Cloud support and also other Uplay games maybe):

Turbid TG1:
'Can't synchronize my cloud saves.
I was in Sequence 6 and now I might have lost all of my progress.'


pyradius:
'That sucks, I had to turn off the cloud syncing myself earlier and had lost progress, losing 6 sequences would suck pretty badly. Here was the info I got from Ubisoft:

"The cloud servers check file information when syncing and will update to the latest used profile. This information is synced to the cloud upon closing your game. Unfortunately, there is no way to manually download a savegame file from the servers.

Unfortunately, if your save file is not available in-game, there is no way to recover the data. I recommend that you disable the cloud sync feature via the Uplay Client options to prevent any future issues.

I also recommend that you use a third-party game save manager such as GameSave Manager in case the issue reoccurs:

We have forwarded similar instances up to our development teams for further review, and I apologize for any inconvenience."

He didn't tell me where the data is stored, but it might the the data inside:

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

Possible fixes to retrieve saves(?):
