The problem
Location of your existing save file (savegame)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames<user id>\<game id>
Preparation for save file replacement
IMPORTANT: Please backup your existing save files first!
- Start watch_dogs on Steam
- Start a new game
- Enjoy the intro and quit the game after it saved the first time automatically (blue circle on the left side of the screen)
- Delete the new created save files in the savegame directory.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames<user id>\<game id>
The files are called 1.save and 2.save
Download, replace and play the new save files
Go to http://savegame-download.com/watch-dogs-save-game-100-pc/
and download the savegame for Steam / Uplay Version. (90% Story and 50 Mio. $)
Open the downloaded .zip file. You can find a folder with 4 files in it:
- save
- save.upload
- save
- save.upload
Extract ALL 4 files to the savegame directoy.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames<user id>\<game id>
Now start watch_dogs on Steam. You should receive a message of Uplay that there is a difference between the local save files and the save files in your cloud. Please choose local savefiles with safe date 11/06/2014 04:35 to load.
In the main screen of watch_dogs you can now choose Continue and the new savegame will be loaded! :-)
Have fun with playing!
Finally: You did a backup of your "old" save files right? If there is a bugifx from Ubisoft one day, probably you can insert your "old" save files with your origin progress and you can continue playing as you did before you got that issue!
