4 or 5 days with no responses here. I documented the issue but seems that materia is not needed. I have some free time so before I am busy for the next weeks or so, I'm going to see if this happens for a 3rd time. My save file and loads are same as when I reported this. I'm going to continue from there but I am not going to go back and kill the drengr or any other mission of importance since it is likely to be lost. What I am going to do is minor stuff. And set a timer and save. And see what happens. Last time it was 7 hours lost. The time before it I wasnt even aware of it, game didnt crash so the resume game I did where I thought I had Deja vu with those missions were in fact lost progress. .
See what happens this time.

If nothing, I will try to go back to kill that drengr I mentioned and see if that ends up triggering this issue.

It is very disappointing that adding stuff was the priority when half of us cant even play the stupid thing to begin with. Or finish it. Stuck in limbo, it's been what 4 or 5 months?

Plus this as well since I'm searching elsewhere from some tricks, ones on here and reddit have not worked yet.

Assassin's Creed: Valhalla Players Lose Progress Due to A Bug [Updated ...

Love how they say, "within a few weeks"... IN NOVEMBER!

You can birth a baby before this crap will be "fixed".

@ashleysosa44

This was about the corrupted savegames. The Quick Resume was disabled for Valhalla within one week, which prevented our bug from appearing. For some reason they enabled it again??? I noticed it was enabled, because I immediately lost data, which I reported on this forum.

https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/87606/valhalla-jumps-back-couple-of-days-after-hanging/1

The complain is about the disappearing savegames that occur in combination with quick resume and the ps5 equivalent. Ubisoft has never acknowledged this bug. The Ubisoft forum guys have reported it back to the developers, but the developers seem to only care about Helix items.

@ubi-spud

I have also lost all my saved games progress, and had to start the game over. Is there any solution to this?

@ubikobold

1. No. X-Box One Series X
2. No.
3. It happened twice. It happened around the period after going on a date with Randvi and going to Midgard.
4. No. When starting the game on the console the saved games are gone.

Is there any solution to this?

@larscalm no solution. Stopped playing valhalla, I feel robbed.

[censored].. this game had been fine since I brought it in November, the last month it started getting glitchy but persevered and now I've just gone to open the game after two weeks of offline play due to broadband issues and the dam cloud has synced and ses to have wiped all the local save data!!??

I've already returned watchdogs due to how s*** it was and now it looks like I might be doing the same with valhalla, I don't have the time or patience to reply 30+ hours.

Anyone find a solution?

Same thing just happened to me. Just reopened the game after the update was automatically installed--all progress from yesterday had been lost. Currently running on the Xbox Series X. Will not continue playing until this is fixed and will not buy another Ubisoft game until this is fixed (had the same exact issue last week with Immortals Fenyx Rising).

It is incredibly disappointing that this has been going on so long without any sort of resolution.

I wish we could just manually back up saves.

So after the update yesterday I played some time and after that tried to get the godly pack (which gave me the known error). I did a couple of different named manual saves, but forgot to hard close the game because I was irritated by the error.

Today I lost all my progress from yesterday again. But now, also half of my armors are gone? I feel I am punished instead of rewarded by being a loyal pre launch buyer.

Playing on Xbox Series X. I had two incidents so far:
1

• I couldn't create new save games for a few days. The options showed, but when I clicked it nothing happened. Overwriting old saves worked, so I did that.
• At some point I started the game and Quick Resume didn't happen. It loaded through the usual loading screens like the game had been closed. My latest save game was 5 days older than when I last saved. I tried a bunch of stuff. Then I actively closed the game and rebooted the Xbox. I got them back! I'm not sure what happened, but I guess I didn't have the Cloud games.

2

• I played for a week. I could create new manual saves, so I made sure to do that and not overwrite older save games.
• Today, again, no Quick Resume. Now I lost about a day of playing.
• I did the log off and reboot thing again, but this time it didn't help. I do see Cloud saves, just not the ones I made most recently. Auto saves neither.

So, I lost an evening of playing. I can deal with that, but is there at least a work-around to prevent this? I really don't want to keep losing progress.

My last five manual saves and all autosaves have been overwritten with a single cloud save as of the latest update, have lost about ten hours worth of campaign progress.

Have attempted all the various continue\quit\restart\sync options available but no luck. 

Series X version.

@ubi-borealis [censored] again nothing is repaired XD
THANKS ALL!11!1!1 :):):):) you still cant play your game since november, but stay happy and wait for a miracle! :):):):) I'm very sorry that you've lost your money :):):) Thanks again!! :):):)

How about you tell the development team to turn off the cloud sync feature that's breaking the game? This is the third time I've lost progress. This time probably for like 10 hours, in addition to the hours I've lost already. I really can't replay 10 hours and will ask for a refund.

Platform: xbox series S
Game version: previous 3 versions, 1.*

Loading a save game doesn't work if the online sync thing loses connection. It will say it's saved but if you try to load it it will just close the menu. Next time you start the game there will be no games to load. This has been explained plenty of times in this thread and the long Reddit thread regarding the same issue

@ubikobold
Are you playing on Xbox One? Yes
Did you experience a crash before you lost progress? No, no indication that anything was amiss.
Has this only happened once? If not, has it ever happened at the same part in your game? This has happened the last two times I have played, loading all progress in snottinghamshire each time, around 10hrs gameplay in total.
Are you losing progress every time you load into your game? The last two times yet, I'm loathe to try again. This should not be an issue this far down the line especially considering the cost.

I used manual saves after losing progress the first time around but this has made no difference whatsoever.

Wow im not the only one! Lost about 6h of gameplay. Dont understand why the manual save doesnt save on the ssd and why we need the cloud. And funny ( well not) i seen 64hr on my ubiconnect but my save game has 59h. Wow. Same on ubi for this one

Hello,

I have also lost my progress on PC but due to my own fault. I created a new game and didn't notice at all that the previous one will be deleted.
Is there any way i can restore my previous/old save game files and continue the game from the point i was before??


Thanks!!!

• What platform do you play on?

Xbox Series X

• If playing on next-gen consoles, were you using the Quick Resume feature on Xbox or the Switcher feature on PS5?

Yes

• What is the extent of your progression loss? (An approximate value in hours would be helpful)

About 4 hours in game time. I once lost like 5 days which was about 15 hour in game time, but fortunately I got that back by quitting the game and logging out of xbox live.

• Do you share your console / PC with anyone else who plays Valhalla?

No

• Has this loss of progress / saves only happened once, or multiple times?

Well, twice, but once it returned.

• What was the last quest, world event, or activity that you completed before your progress was lost?

I completed the Jotunheim Arc and started the Fenris fight.

• Upon last saving your game, did you create a new save or overwrite an old one?

New Save

• Are you mainly relying on autosave or making regular manual saves?

I make regular manual new saves.
