Thats unfair, too much Ubi(****en)soft..

[commandosolo2009]

OK fellas, this is the epic fail.

My gaming computer crashed and all my synchronised saves are on it. I used the HP recovery and all is gone. My last bit of hope was the online saves. I was at Mare Nostrum, all small crosses finished. WTF?? Failed to download saved games?

Are you ****en kidding me?? after all the hardwork?? New career?? Hell ****en NO!!!! NO!!! NO!!! and a big ***ed NO once more!!!! what are we?? slaves??

Any ideas fellas?? sorry for the tone.. I am just furious to the point.. I wanna bash Ubi on the head ..

OMG not again please help ppl. My last synched game had all small crosses Mare Nostrum.

This is NOT my gaming laptop, it's the old machine I had before the laptop, which to my amazement, happens to run SH5 better (AGP 1 Gb HD4650) unbelievable..

Man - I really feel for you, been in a simlar postion with another game after my old PC crashed so I have a pretty good idea how you are feeling right now.

What I did was move on to another game , forget the one I lost and that way when I came back it was like doing it for the first time again.

I can't think of anything to say that will make you feel better - hope you get your machine sorted soon.

Thanks man.. Really appreciate your support. The funny part is, the online log still has record of my last save and my last kill, with the captain name..

Arghh.. what the hell, beer will sort it out

Here is to everyone who had a similar 'incident':

To every sailor who ubi shared in loss of his kills and caused him negative karma with the Kriegsmarine..

So much for UBI's positive spin on DRM - all games saved offline , whats the point of them saving offline if they don't work .

Have you tried a recovery application commandosolo2009. I have recovered stuff from formated drives using 'em.

[krashkart]

^^

Good point. They work pretty well if the data was lost recently.

[longam]

Whats funny is I have blown away my game a few time and curse because the freaking online games sync back to my system and I cant stop it....

FYI, backup your backup.

[THE_MASK]

Feel sorry for ya , the online save i use is an "in port one'' . They dont seem to screw up .

[Jimbuna]

That's simply tough solo....I should imagine most here have had similar experiences

Hope you manage to sort it

[commandosolo2009]

Thanks for all the patting folksl. I'm touched .

Well, I still will not play it from scratch.. Instead, I'll wait for my gaming laptop to recover.. and a fresh copy of vista 32 becomes ready, then I'll look for my online saves... I'll also try the ppl from SH5 forum at Ubi, someone they might recommend, or even help me troubleshoot this..

If all else fails, I'll resort to playing it from scratch. But I will not give up now *fingers crossed*.

Again, folks I really appreciate your support. Good hunting fellas.


something to cheer us all up:

Link blocked on copyright grounds

[commandosolo2009]

yeah, this is shameful..

Always backup your save files to an external drive or pen. I've been doing this since I lost an entire computer worth of saves (all my games basically) a few years back, and it's definitely a real life saver if your PC goes belly up unexpectedly.

The cost of an external USB Drive is nothing now days.
I use several.
One for common file storage and another for Ghosting.

[commandosolo2009]

OK, ubi forum is behaving gay (as expected) so, to cut it short folks, which files do I need to copy over the flash drive (I happen to have 3 of them but they constantly corrupt saved files on them..maybe I could use DVD or another media..). I meant which save files, which would avert such crisis in the forseeable future?

[commandosolo2009]

Good thing I'm playing ARMA 2 to cool off the anxiety and frustration. I should be blunt, we all need to file a suit vs UBI.. But thats whining over a lost cause.. Your advice is indeed appreciated folks, and this time, I'm NOT going to use Ubi retard servers..
