Save Game Reverted
My save game seems to have reverted quite a long way.
Is this a known issue?
Is there a workaround?
I'm not sure I can bring myself to repeat the stuff I've lost.

Re: Save Game Reverted
Reading other posts from as far back as March, it looks like the game has been plagued with this problem for over 6 months.
It looks like the uplay cloud is really dragging this game down. It's really not the sort of game that you want to replay, particularly all those difficult gold medal runs.
My suggestion is that they disable cloud syncing for all games, by default, until the cloud has been demonstrated to be stable for a number of months.
The only other time I've had a similar problem was with corrupt save files in Prince of Persia 2, PS2 version, another Ubisoft game. It was a common issue, but the resulting customer service response was so bad that I swore never to play another Ubi game, yet here I am again. It probably is the only Ubisoft game that I've played since then too. I've played many hundreds of games since then, over 10's of thousands of hours (no exaggeration) and I don't recall a problem like this. If only I had remembered.
Ubisoft really should take the customer's post purchase experience more seriously.
The most tragic thing is that it's a really good game apart from this.

I would recommend disabling Uplay cloud syncing.

Re: Save Game Reverted
Disable cloud,
never delete local content on steam.
Keep a backup folder containing all the saves on your'e desktop as master folder
Follow those steps and you'll be fine

Re: Save Game Reverted
Thanks for the advice, but I won't be getting those gold medals again.
I'd just like to play the game the way the developers intended without having to restart, because the whole concept of cloud syncing is lost on the uplay team. How hard would it be to compare timestamps and keep the lastest one? It's like these guys have no concept of version control. I'd hate to see how they develop it. Does anyone even want uplay anyway? Steamworks could've done all this for them without any of these problems. It's just trashing end user experiences for the possibility of a little bit of cross marketting. It's backfiring pretty hard, because now we know that all Ubisoft games have the same problem.
