Yesterday I played from about 2pm to 8pm! The game saved automatically every 5 minutes. And at the end of my session, I saved, waited until I got the note that the game saved, then exited.

Today, there are no save games beyond 4:30pm. There are save games every 5 minutes up until 4:30pm, and nothing after. Despite dozens of pop up notices that my gave had saved, and the fact I manually saved when I was done at 8pm.

This is the 4th time I have experienced this. This time, I don't feel like going back and replaying the last 3.5 hours. I'll probably just set Anno aside for a while. Has anybody figured out why this keeps happening or how to solve it??

Hi AGupwhy7, thanks for getting in touch with us about this.

Do you know if your game switched to cloud saving instead of saving locally? Can I also ask if you are playing through Uplay or another game launcher?

Here is where you can usually find your saves - Documents\Anno 1800\Accounts

You can also set the interval time between auto saves. Having many auto saves can fill up your hard drive quite quickly, do you have a lot of space left on the drive where your game is installed?

Let me know so I can look into this further for you
