Yesterday, while patrolling the eastern coast of Britain, I stumbled across both an undefended convoy and a well-defended one headed in opposite directions, so naturally I went underwater to avoid the escorts, while moving slowly north to follow the undefended convoy.

After a little while, the warships were upwards of 15 miles away, so I came to the surface, went to full speed and ran down the northbound merchants, steaming my way into the middle of the convoy and sinking 4 ships before running out of ammo, bringing my total tonnage from 5k to about 27k in the process. Job well done, I thought, and saved the game, before turning round to go resupply at Heligoland. On the way there, the game autosaved, and I saved again after resupplying and plotting a course back to The Wash.

After making this last save, I exited the game, and went to watch the football (Cracking match. Milan learnt a lesson.) :know:

I just loaded SH5 back up, hoping to take advantage of my fully stocked ammunition store, only to find that there are no saves from after I encountered the convoy. :wah: The most recent one is from a little while before discovering the two convoys. Obviously I am extremely pissed off about this.

Has anyone else had this? Is there any way to access my later saves?




PS: Great work Ubisoft. You've managed to make Rolf from Wurm look competent by comparison. :down:

Turn off online saving of your games (the cogwheel in the upper right corner of the launcher). This feature seems to be porked and a lot of gamers have already lost SH5 savegames because of this.

Thanks, I'll give it a try this way. Gues their hamster must've died or somesuch :DL


One thing though: I've turned online saving off, but when I boot the game up, it still says 'saved games synchronised from server'. What's that about? :hmmm:

Don't know, you can't turn that one off I think.
