Finally, we decided to add some other major changes, notably much-awaited compatibility of on-line and off-line saves.
To give some details: while playing in offline mode, you’ll be able to create save games. The next time you start the game in online mode, during the boot-up of the game, all offline save games created in the previous offline session will be uploaded as online saves to the Ubisoft servers. So when you open the Load Game menu, you will have access to both your online and offline save games. This change will enable you to get your on-line saves directly on your computer and play off-line.
So, no more stress during servers’ outage or when you don’t have Internet access! The patch 1.5 is expected to be released by mid-July.
