Every time I've fired SH5 up, all saves are still there. Even after an uninstall and re-install.

Never say never, it may happen yet.

The more I read about UBI Soft and their idiotic DRM system, the more happy I am I have not wasted another dime on them... until they change their draconian system, looks like me and many other fans of this series are going to let these new releases pass by. I am NOT giving any of my hard earned money to any company that can control my actions in my own home or any other place I happen to be. This DRM system does just that.

I wonder what happens to all those who bought into this system should something happen in the future, say a company buy out or perhaps lack of activity on the game servers for logging in and the company shuts them down? There have been a few great games that this is already happened to in the past.. Space and Beyond is one I can think of off the top.. How do you play your simulation then when the servers go offline?

I still play games from 10-15 years ago. Had they required this kind of setup, they would all be useless to me today.

Note: even if you turned off the sync save game feature, the game apparently (and incorrectly) still tries to sync the games (although it does not upload any new ones anymore). If you do not delete the storage folder, the launcher will STILL try download your last uploaded save games (even though the SaveOnline=false) from Ubi's server. I suspect this is why it hangs (if you have later save games locally, they are not in sync). By deleting it, it will no longer do so.

Even if deleted the storage folder seems to get replaced after you startup the game a couple times. Deleting it works for about the first two startups and its back to trying to sync with the updated saved games in it.

Just wanted to join in and add my rage.

Not long been playing SH5 and was about finished the 1st campaign. Got in from work and the wife is watching some junk on the TV so happy to jump back into my sub.

Load up the game and I'm right back at the start of the campaign!! Load up the Auto-save,, same thing!!!!!

Screw this, I'm done with this game.. no way I'm spending another 6 hours of hunting merchant ships all over again.

I've never boycotted a gaming company in my life but I tell you now, I'll never buy another UBI soft game again.

It looks like the uplay launcher no longer uses a settings.ini file. Anyone know how I can stop my game from synching saves?
