Players of "Watch Dogs: Legion" have reported a rather major problem with the game's save system on the "Watch Dogs" subreddit and Ubisoft forums: if players do not properly exit the game, their save data is erased The problem is that there is only one save slot. With only one save slot and no option to manually save, hours of progress and sometimes entire campaigns have been lost. Ubisoft is aware of the problem and is preparing a fix, but says it may not be released until early next week.

"We are aware that some players are having difficulties and hope to address these issues with a patch scheduled by November 9," a Ubisoft representative said in an e-mail.

"We will provide more details on the patch in the coming days.

One of the core issues detailed in this Ubisoft forum post is that saving on exit can take so long that the game appears to hang, causing some players to force quit using alt-F4, leading to corrupted saves This has led to corrupted saves. The time it takes to save seems to vary, with some users saying it takes up to 5 minutes to finish, but Redditor smoothjazz666 said that after trying to return to the main menu, he took his dog for a walk and when he returned, it was still stopped.

Redditor Natanaeltedja shares a more comprehensive workaround: disable cloud services, start Ubisoft Connect in offline mode, and set the Watch Dogs: Legion app affinity to single core: game running Open the Windows taskbar during, select the "Advanced" tab, right-click on Legion and select the "Set Affinity" option. Select Single Core (other than CPU 0), return to the game and exit at the main menu.
