Where does the save file stays EXACTLY?
For some context: Just finished the game and spent a few hours catching all the feathers. Went for the Auditore tomb. Couldn't access because ubisoft club stuff.

Spent some time troubleshooting this, nothing worked. I decided to reinstall.

Backed up 1.save and 2.save on C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\(weird code)\4 then proceeded to delete and reinstall.

While starting the fresh install for the first time, ubi connect downloaded on said folder a save from 2018 (on which I stopped playing on the mid of sequence 1 at that time). I replaced for the backup.

Game loaded a much older save from 2015 that was still on Abstergo. Deleted save files on the same folder, game still loads this thing from 2015.

Found another folder 4 folder within the game files (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Assassin's Creed 2\UL\storage(other weird code)\4), deleted it. Game now doesn't show any saved games. Pasted the backup on both folders, game still doesn't show any saved games. Same thing happens with a 100% save I've download, in the possibility of having done the wrong backup.

I created a new save, and the files on both folders haven't been modified.

Also, windows search doens't show any other folders containing a 1.save file

Any ideas? I just want to play a last piece of content before moving on to Brotherhood...



EDIT: Turns out the modified .exe I was using to remove black bars on cutscenes (21:9 screen) was saving on a skidrow folder, and also, Ubisoft Connect doesn't recognize it, which locked the rewards.

Hey Warkidooo!

Thank you for updating your post, judging by your edit, have you since been able to find the saves you were looking for?

Yes. For future reference, I may try to generate a save with the original .exe then copy it to the folder that the modified file reads before advancing further in the game, hopefully that will allow a smooth ultrawide experience.

21:9 and 32:9 screens are cool, but getting rid of the black bars can give quite the headache.

Thanks for the update Warkidooo and thank you for sharing your experience with trying to remove the black bars via modifying the executable file, we will always advise caution to any players wanting to edit system files as this can cause unknown behaviour and performance in the game and may lead to you having to reinstall the game.

For future reference, by default the games save and config files should be located here -

Save file locations:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<USERID>\4

Settings file location:
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Assassin's Creed 2​\Assassin2.ini

Hello. Does the savefiles usually get upload to cloud with the launcher?

Also, On Steam controllers arn't supported for AC 2. I remapped and can play the game but I cant use the wheel well to change weapons and such since the joystick is just 4 ways (like the D-pad) Any thought about fixing this? Since it works with the first one.
