The Assassin’s Creed 3 bug which wipes save data has been addressed by Ubisoft and the following advice has been given to gamers:
“AVOIDING THIS BUG: Do not load your saved AC3 game while the DLC is downloading in the background. This appears to be the key trigger for this bug. You can do anything else you want to do, just don’t load up your saved game and play it while the DLC is downloading.”
This is after a number of users realised that their main mission/side missions had been reset and contacted Ubisoft for support.
