So Panzer and I have both so far suffered multiple times from the "Hey, why is the game starting me over from the beginning again??!" bug with Blacklist.

Apparently Ubi decided that the cloud-based version of your save is the master, and it periodically gets wiped out or corrupted, so if you have "sync with cloud" checked the perfectly working, multiple parts of the game completed local save will get overwritten by an EMPTY save from the cloud that makes you start all over again. mad

Thanks to Win 7's recovery feature, I found older copies of my 4 save files and then disabled the cloud sync, allowing me to recover where in the game I was...NO thanks to Ubi! I will NOT be reenabling it.

I wish I would have remembered about the Win 7 file recovery thing when I lost my progress. frown

I wonder if that's a similar problem I ran into with MOH Warfighter. I have never, ever, ever, ever been able to get that game to save my progress no matter what I tried. No issues with BF3 and Battle Log but EA doesn't want me to play a game I spent 50 dollars on and how long ago was release? Still haven't got past the second mission because it refuses to save progress. Unacceptable in this day and age. GIVE ME A FREAKING MANUAL SAVE DAMNIT!!!!

Yeah U-Play stinks something awful. I've had weird game glitches and issues that I just can't help but feel is somehow tied to the face the game requires online activation and online connections to play.
