I got watch dogs. I finished the entire game story. Only the side missions were left.
Then, I took a backup of My documents/My games where I thought the watch dogs save was located, and then formatted my PC.
And while i played the game I couldn't sync my save data to the cloud via uplay as my net was down for quite some time then.

There are two problems I'm having now.
1) When i reinstalled uplay (in the C drive, my game is in E drive), it does not recognize the installed game, instead it tells me to download the whole thing again.
2) Even if i download the entire thing again, will I have my old saves? My cloud sync is only somewhere in Act 2 whereas I have already finished the entire game.

Please help guys i really want to finish all the remaining side missions.

uhh, if you aren't 100% sure you copied your savegame, your probably didnt. Probably should have kept using cloud sync. My Uplay saved games are here: E:\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\74fab4f3-9dba-4e31-bca3-b74d7e09a405\274 , did you change where you want Uplay to install games to within Uplay?

Oh crap :(
I didnt get the right save. And i did direct uplay to install games in the same directory where the game is already installed, it just wants download the whole thing again.

Oh well, if it isn't too much to ask, can you please see if you can find a save with just the main missions done? I got a few but it just shows "corrupt save"

Thanks anyway :)
