Assassin's Creed III DLC Erasing Saves

A number of users are reporting that after downloading the latest Assassin's Creed III content, Hidden Secrets Pack, that the game has erased mission progress and reset other stats.

Ubisoft was quick to respond with the issue, saying on its forums, "Just a quick heads up, we're able to reproduce this issue at the studio and are working on a fix/workaround. From what we can tell, this problem seems to be rare and should generally only affect a very small number of players. That said, we're taking the speedy and complete resolution of this very seriously."

The publisher then offered tips on avoiding the bug. "Do not load your saved AC3 game while the DLC is downloading in the background. This appears to be the key trigger for this bug. You can do anything else you want to do, just don't load up your saved game and play it while the DLC is downloading."

  • No worries, didn't plan on getting it anyway. But I feel for those that did and this happen to them.
  • must've been a hidden secret in the code...
  • SUCKS!

  • The fallen Girafficus Surrealius III was bestowed with the radish of a thousand layers, to guard, maintain and nurture as it grew in the time of a thousand golden gnats. He fell when the radish evolved into a turnip (due a worm planted by the evil Scarifixus) and the turnip turned and asked, "Is your whole life about serving others? When will you ever have something to yourself?" Driven by greed and the inability to obtain an unscratched copy of the Powerpuff Girls movie from Netflix, the king destroyed almost half his kingdom. Greed was not satisfied though, as he soon wished to learn the power of immortality and divination, where he dabbled in black magic and poker, resulting in his losing his left eye to gambling and watching too much Kate Plus 8. To this day he thinks Jon was the wrongful parent, and that Target should sell more carpets.
  • I am glad I have yet to download it yet then. I will wait until it is fixed, I am no huge rush to play this DLC just yet.

  • Oh no it wasn't Ubisofts fault it was the animus *rolls eyes*
  • Well that's a bummer for some people.

  • I guess that was one of the hidden secrets.
  • Ah, yet another disappointment from this game.
  • Well shoot, first the game needs a patch right out of the gate and now you can lose all your progress by wanting to play more. Seems like this one didn't get tested all the way through Ubisoft, let this be a lesson to you.

  • wow more problems keep adding up to the game..what else

  • Oof. AC3 has had a pretty rough release.

  • Ubisoft sure has fumbled the ball.
  • Nothing is more aggravating and horrible then losing all of your progress on a save file(s).  Condolences to those who have to start all over again.

  • OH NO!

  • ah dang.

  • When I first saw this title, I misread "saves" as "slaves" and I thought there was going to be a new mission where you run around freeing slaves. I thought it was going to be awesome, but losing progress is quite the opposite.
  • The next DLC should address these issues.  That will be $14.99.

  • what would really suck if some of those people were trying to platinum the game and get 100% on every mission and they had maybe 2-3 more missions to complete with 100% and it gets erased...i'd be pissed because some of those naval missions, 100% is a b*&^h!!!

  • Should I be concerned if brown-ish colored, semi-hard stuff comes out of my butt once a day or more?
