Q: Will this fix work for the Steam version? A: No. Steam/Uplay versions store saves differently and rely on cloud validation. Do not hex edit official saves unless you disabled cloud sync.
Q: I get "Save data is from a newer version." A: The crack does not support the latest game patch (v1.5.0). You need to find an updated crack or downgrade the game executable.
Q: Can I transfer a cracked save to the legit game? A: Yes, but it is complex. You must use a tool like "ACU Save Unlocker" to strip the crack signature and then hex-edit in your genuine Uplay ID from the official launcher. Assassins Creed Unity Save Game Fix Crack
Look for rld.ini. Add:
[Uplay] UserId = c91e3886-37cc-47d0-ad18-18e951c0a25a
Why this works: By freezing the User ID, every save you create is permanently linked to that specific ID. Even if Windows updates or you reinstall the game, your saves will never appear "corrupted" again. Q: Will this fix work for the Steam version
If you are actively losing saves or want to recover a lost save, follow this guide meticulously.
This is the actual "crack fix" that recovery tools use. Once you fix your save, you never want
Once you fix your save, you never want to go through this again. Here is how to lock it down:
If your game simply refuses to save at all (no files are created in the save directory), the issue is write permissions or a missing CPY.ini line.
For CPY Crack users:
Navigate to your game root folder (where ACU.exe is located). Open CPY.ini with Notepad.
Find the line: SavePath=%DEFAULT_CPY_DIR%
Change it to an absolute path on your desktop (so Windows cannot block it). For example:
SavePath=C:\Users\YourName\Desktop\ACU_Saves
Now create that folder on your desktop. Launch the game. It will be forced to save there.
For RELOADED Crack users:
Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Orbit\720\RLD!
Right-click the RLD! folder > Properties > Security.
Ensure "Everyone" and "Authenticated Users" have Full Control.
Windows updates often revoke write permissions for ProgramData. This is the #1 silent killer of saves.
