AC IV Black Flag

Jonnygrunge · 6 May 2014 at 12:08

Hi All,

I recently upgraded my system and re-installed Windows 7. I installed and went to play AC IV - BF last night u Play status looked OK, start of sequence 5, 13% game completion. I "assumed" that the game saves were saved on the cloud, and did not back them up! however I have since found out the UBI Soft were having "technical problems" with the cloud saves. I really do not want to start from scratch! Will though if I have to! Anyone happen to have a save point at a similar point in the game?
Any help would be much appreciated!

I made 32 back up save files in total but I haven't got a clue where they are in relation to completion (they go to the end)! Give us a shout if you don't get anywhere and I can email the whole folder with them in to you. It's just under 3 meg.

Could you send them to me mate? If OK I will get my email to you.

Yeah, no prob. PM me your address and I'll fire them over.

Jonnygrunge · 6 May 2014 at 19:33

Perfect! Can you mail them to [email protected] much appreciated!

I'm just finishing my dinner and I'll check where I got to if you still need a save mate. Got so far then had to stop because I moved house then never went back to it. Haha

Yeah please if you don't mind!

daft question, but where are the savegames for black flag located? I've found the savegame folder in Uplay folder but it's just numbers so not sure which one is AC4

Long string of numbers think it is folder 273

Heisenberg · 6 May 2014 at 20:25

Yeah, just found it in folder 273. I'm at the start of sequence 5. I'll send over the full folder to your email. Theres 2 save games in it mate.

Jonnygrunge · 6 May 2014 at 20:32

Braw email above should still be valid!

Heisenberg · 6 May 2014 at 20:49

Yeah, it's sent mate

Cheers for the help mate! Save file claims to be corrupt though! don't think it likes the u play status against the save! Hey ho! played for a few hours tonight! forgot how slow the first sequence was! Thanks' again!

I had same issue with this and splinter cell.

FFFFFFFFFFFF U Ubi. Not buying another game from em for the PC. Surely the whole point of making me log into their online service and backing up/syncing my save is to provide the ability to restore any lost saved data?

Origin and Steam both can make this work without any issues why can't Ubi?

Cant agree more mate! Well p*ssed off I will have to start from the beginning! It is ridiculous as you say, you have to login and have to be on-line to play their titles, even through Steam now, you still have to play via uPlay! I contacted their Tech Support and the stated:

"Rebecca @ Ubisoft Customer Service:
Unfortunately we are unable to recover lost game saves, sorry for any inconvenience"

Sorry for thinking in 2014 Cloud saves would be common place and worked!

Rant over!

Heisenberg · 7 May 2014 at 19:13

Ahh no worries bud. I loaded it up in offline mode which I'm assuming would have been the saves I sent you. Cloud saving is a good idea until you get hit with this :-/
