Hey guys i hope somebody can help me. I am loosing constantly career saves after the Epic launcher updates. than if i start Epic MW5 is not longer in the quickstart list and when i start the Game i have to agree the eula again. If i then try to load a game it loads an older save and all newer Careers (including campaigns) are gone. In the Folder the saves exist but i cant find them ingame.

Any Solutions? I am sick of replay the game every time this occurs.

Okay i solved the Problem.

Problem: a Career disappears after game start.

Solution: you need the following to solve the Problem:

- you need at least one working career save. (another career or start a new one)
- locate your savegame. its in appdata/local/mw5/savegames
- search the savegame folders (they are named like cv4kr6zdfj94 or such names)
- locate the campaign.json inside the save folder and open it. when the File is empty locate a save folder with a campaign.json with data inside
- copy the campaign.json and overwrite the empty file
- open the new file with the editor and cange your unit name it so you can find it.
- save file

- start mw5
- load a save
- locate the career with the new name
- saves have garbage names but thats okay
- load a save: if you get the "new career screen" close the game and load games till you spawn inside a mission.
- finish mission
- save game

- restart mw5 and your old save will be back. load normal named saves
