Where Are Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Save Files Located?
The Black Flag save files on PC, with pirate progress in Ubisoft's numbered folder by storefront.
Last updated
Edward Kenway's piracy saves in Ubisoft's savegames directory under different numeric IDs per storefront. Steam and Ubisoft Connect each get their own number, so the two Jackdaws never share a berth.
Check both IDs if saves look missing after switching launchers. Copy the right numbered folder and the whole Caribbean transfers.
