Assassin's Creed Unity saves

[MoffAbi]

the game crashed the other day, so i had to force shut down my pc. when i opened up the game again, uplay told me that there was a savegame file conflict. they give me two choices: cloud or local. local is the game at its beggining (i played 88 hrs) and the cloud has an error and won't load. i searched the intenet and i am afraid all my hours of this game are gone. please help!

W7 or W8(.1) ?

<Uplay-folder>\savegames\<user-id>\857\

If Windows 7, you could try a previous versions -tab of the save game folder to see if you can dig up a local save file that isn't THAT old.

I'd almost suggest to switch off Uplay's cloud saving as that tends to become a problem anyway.

[MoffAbi]

yeah, but all my 88 hrs are in the cloud. also i have windows 8.1 pro.

[MoffAbi]

please respond

Well, considering you're on Windows 8.1 - Previous versions isn't really a likely option for you.
As far as I know you can't dig up an older Cloud -save either on Uplay; nor will something like system recovery do anything if your only local save file is that of Day 1.

I don't really have much to say.
This doesn't give the brightest light of hope either.

on forums it says once this happens there is no way of getting your save back. i contacted ubisoft customer support. but if there really isn't a way of getting my save with my 88 hours and microtransaction back, then, well, i'm going to ask my money back. so dissapointed.

The likelyhood of getting money back after 88 hours is pretty much non-existent even if it wasn't Steam Store we were talking about.

Since it is, Steam also generally offers no refunds.

[MoffAbi]

i am seriously angry right now.

[MoffAbi]

is there any way i can sue ubisoft for this?

[MoffAbi]

thank you all for answering, i will be back in a few days with the answer from ubi customer support.

[Tev]

No.

I get your anger though; but to be fair - you did buy a game that has negative reviews regarding its stability. You made that call.

While I'm aware that this is a pointless thing to point out now possibly; in the future - do disable Uplay Cloud Synchronization to be safe; unless you're going to switch computers and you'll need the save on the new one.

[MoffAbi]

i am a fanboy. i pre purchased the game. something i will never. ever. do again. goodbye.

To me It happened that I was playing while U-play had some update and after a while I couldn't go online and then I lost my save, that was some days after the game was released cause I pre-ordered too.

If the cloud save game and the local one have the same time dates you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

But if the dates are different choose the one that happened before the crash, unless its too late.

[MoffAbi]

got response from Ubi support. they say there is nothing i can do about it. i am not going to pre purchase assassin's creed victory.
