Hey guys!

I got Assassin's Creed 3 today and spent almost whole time playing it. However - a dreadful thing happened. During autosave, the game crashed. When I loaded it back up, all my saved games were gone. Went to save game directory - the file was there! However, as soon as I opened it with a hex editor I saw that all it contained was 43 Kilobytes of zeroes.

Here's a warning: backup your saved game as often as you can. Trust me, it feels really bad having lost the saved game - I spent a lot of time on it.

The save games are located at

if you have 32 bit windows: C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames
if you have 64 bit windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames

I will also be writing a program to automatically backup the saved games of the game every 10 minutes - I will post upload link here when I am finished with it.

And if someone, who has played the game and finished less than 4 chapters of the game, sees this thread, could you please upload the save game folder to a file storage like dropbox? I won't be playing the game until tomorrow, and it would be nice to start from somewhere that isn't total beginning.

Thank you.
 
Hi, my game crashed right after you're following your Indian friend to the village because Johnson's there to purchase the land. It's after the part where you throw those tea crates into the water. I don't remember what sequence that was though. When I was entering the frontier, it redscreen'd and crashed. Also, please link me to your entire saved game folder(the one with the really long and weird name). I have the legit game, and all of the saves in this thread refused to work, so please post only if you have the legit game. Thank You!
