I can't find a thread about this on this site, but I figured since it's on sale right now, I should start one.
I recently purchased the Watch Dogs Legion/Assassins Creed Valhalla bundle on XBOX Series X on sale. It's a hell of a deal. Both games for less than the cost of either game. One problem though, Watch Dogs Legion is completely broken, and apparently Ubisoft knows and have known for almost a year now, and are doing nothing to fix it.
The issue is that the game doesn't save your progress and there is no way to manually save your progress, so if you stop playing the game and come back to it, there is a very good chance you are going to consistently lose all the progress you made in your last session, and maybe even going back further than your last session.
I started playing on Saturday, and got through the tutorial section, picked my starting three characters, and over the next few days I recruited another 5 or 6 characters, including ones needed for main story missions, completed about 3-4 story missions and did some side missions. I started the game back up last night, and it wouldn't boot up from quick resume (which is another issue entirely), so I quit the game from the XBOX menu, hit start and it took me back to the beginning of the game, just past the tutorial. So I lost all my main mission progress, was back to my original starting three characters and basically lost about 4-5 hours of progress. I know for some of you, that seems like, "Who cares? Just replay it", but like I say, for me, that was almost a week of progress, gone.
I did some digging and apparently this is a well known issue. This thread was started in November, and people are still logging this same complaint at least once a week, and Ubisoft has still not released a fix for it. Every time someone posts they just respond with "We don't have a solution for this." "Please be patient." "We're looking into it."
I'm shocked Microsoft is allowing this to be sold on their store in this state. I have requested a refund, but what sucks is, I have to lose access to my Valhalla purchase, if they approve the refund, because they were bought as bundle, and then to keep playing Valhalla I'd have to pay the full price for the game.

Seriously, what modern game doesn't allow you to save your progress? It's absolute insanity. Steer clear of Watch Dogs Legion if you value your time and money.
