just turn off the uplay cloud save setting save setting in Uplay settingsOriginally Posted by auxl1975 Go to original post
i keep that off and make manual backups of my save files
also before you start a new game DELETE your old save files ,
You can replay missions and have multiple save files . its not that hard to do .
here are some of my backed upsave files (i have the Steam version of the base game )
i do not have saves for every mission yet ..this is just a bunch that i backed up
just copy and paste my saves to the right folder or copy the entire 856 folder over if you have the steam version .. with the uplay only version re name the folder to 420
the + numbers mean those saves have unused skill points you can use on some of the saves
each save consists of 4 small files
1.save
1.save.upload
2.save
2.save.upload
one is an auto save the other is a user created save point, the other ones are upload files that save to the cloud ,and it will always make those .upload files even if you shut off the cloud save option in Uplay settings
with the steam version of the game, saves your game to
C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 856
the Uplay only version they go in
C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 420
to use these you do have to shut off the Uplay Cloud save option in the Uplay client settings .. but you should do this anyway, as it can create problems with a corrupted cloud save (it happened to me with FarCry 3 years ago and i had to delete my saved games and start the game all over , was the only way to fix it )
open Uplay FIRST
go to settings and uncheck the option that says
Enable Cloud Save Sycronization for supported games
oh and ALWAYS before you start a new game go to that 856 (or 420 ) folder and clear out and delete the saves you have left in there ...BEFORE you start a new game , not doing so can make the game go a bit WONKY , like one time i did not clear that out.... and i had ZERO Pagans Wrath convoys appear at all in my game , and i was unable to unlock the vehichle take down Skill.
if you need to back up your own save files first see this webpage
