It was last year I think? (Or early this year) and I was playing through and enjoying Splinter Cell: Blacklist (about 60% done). I then got a slight PC upgrade via some handed down parts from a friend (mobo, cpu and ram) so I reinstalled. My savegame was safely stored on my games HDD so it wasn't wiped with the reinstall of Windows on the system drive. But I needed to reinstall the game because the necessary registry entries needed to be created for Uplay to realise the game was installed. I figured it would be ok as I had cloud saving on... Except when wonderful Uplay decided that instead of downloading the cloud save with all my progress it would rather upload a brand new file starting at the beginning thereby erasing all my wonderful progress...
As much as I had enjoyed playing the game I REALLY didn't want to replay the missions just to get back to where I was - so Google to the rescue, I found some Russian who had uploaded his save file - with everything completed/unlocked. At least then I could pick up from where I had finished. The only thing is, having everything unlocked and completed at the toughest level kinda took out the challenge to ghost a level. So far I haven't worked up the enthusiasm to carry on playing the game - I really should though as it was a fun game.
