Assasins Creed - Save Game Conflict
When playing Assasins Crede on the PC you may discover that you are unable to start the game and are given a message similar to
“Save Game Conflict"
When this occurs you will generally get the option to load local data or data from the cloud, but loading the data from the cloud results in the save game conflict and loading local data results in the game restarting from the beginning. Which is not a very desirable result.
The error appears to be a timestamp issue and can be fixed by following these steps. I should point out that these steps will revert to the last Cloud save point and may result in losing the data from the most recent session. But in my case this was worth it as there were a number of weeks worth of data saved in the could.
To resolve the confllict and revert to the most recent cloud copy follow these steps.
Note that the [Ubisoft Serial Number] is a 35 digit string that I have not replicate for obvious reasons
From the uplay save game folder, on my PC taht is C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\[Ubisoft Serial Number]\720
I renamed the savegames folder to savageness.old and restarted Assasins Creed.
When the game restarts it complains that the cloud version is not the latest, but if you ignore that message and continue the game is successfully restored from the most recent cloud save point and you can continue playing
