[PLEASE HELP] Save file deleted

[Dumbo Octopus]

I'm prepared to break out in tears now.

I had just discovered that many of my allies were assassins and we were going to the Vatican to stop Rodrigo, when...my computer crashed.

I was aware of the exclamation mark warning that was present while loading the new city. After I got my computer back on, my save file was no more. There were only 3 empty slots.

Please. If there is anything I can do to fix this I will do it. Anybody..

chill man, it's ok. in the words of bob marley, everything's gonna be alright :-)

there's a couple things you can do

1. First check whether you have any save files under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher". Once there there will be a gibberish name folder and then the AC2 save folder called "4"

2. Failing that you can download a savegame from http://www.assassinscreedsavegames.com/savegames/Assassin%60s_Creed_II

Thanks for replying :P

In that location there are only 4 files, 1.save, 1.save.upload, 2.save, 2.save.upload.

I'm fairly certain those don't contain everything I've had in my progress because their sizes are all under 105 KB.

Should I just go to that site and download a file? Will it have any Monteriggioni upgrades or weapons/armor?

that sounds about right for a savegame file :) just check mine and I've got 1.save (3KB), 2.save (136KB) and 2.save.upload (0KB).

my guess is the 136KB is my last actual local savegame (I have completed AC2 through and through also) and the 2.save.upload file is something to do with it being uploaded to the Uplay cloud (as seen on PCGaming wiki.. AC2 savegames are synced to Uplay cloud)

I think you've still got the savegames basically (which is good news)... only thing is I'm not sure why they are not showing in-game.

could try ubi support or maybe backing up savegame files (just in case) and reinstalling AC2 on steam

hope this helps :-)

Maybe the save games are corrupted? I heard that can happen in Skyrim so maybe it happened here because the game closed while the exclamation mark was still active. That could explain why the save games are still there but don't show up in-game?

tbh not sure, I don't think I can help much more from here other than duckduckgo search and the like

ubi support might know, but if I were you i'd try backing up those save files and reinstalling AC2 and see if that does anything


otherwise there's always the AC2 save files from that site (and sorry idk whether it has Monteriggioni weapons/armour)
