The autosave for my game showed that it was saving at times, I'd gotten all the way to armour rank 20 and XP rank 7, and then while in the hub my internet crashed. I'd seen the autosave signal every now and then, but when I restarted my console and game, I'd been reset all the way down to armour rank 8, XP rank 3, and all the way at the start of the campaign. Which I'd finished, and was currently working on the sidequests. It kinda pissed me off but considering this is a beta I thought I'd report it, as it had shown it had been saving throughout the 5 hours I'd been playing.
I played a lot yesterday and reached the second main story mission it had been saving the whole time. turned on again today after work and it has taken me all the way back to searching for survivors at the helicopter crashes.
really annoying and honestly deflating.
Hope Ubisoft can fix this quickly as their contact us needs serious help also.
