Hi,

I bought the original version of AC3 deluxe edition many years ago. I redeemed all DLCs and completed a playthrough including all DLCs (way) before the server shutdown in 2022. I regularly replay the entire AC franchise roughly annually.

Unfortunately my PC had some problems this week and the system had to be reinstalled, I lost my save file as a result.

I heard conflicting info regarding DLC access. Some claimed as long as they were redeemed before the server shutdown it would be fine, others say the DLC-unlocked savefile also needs to be preserved.

Question: without the save file, will I still have access to all the DLCs? Ideally someone with first hand experience could confirm. Much appreciated.
