When I reinstalled AOE3 after my harddrive/computer broke down I noticed that I no longer could use any of the US portraits. When I did the challenge I completed all of them and unlocked them all. Is there a way to get back access to these?

Bump? No idea how to fix this???

Hi @everyone,

For now, the data for Profile Avatars is stored locally and can be transferred by copying the jrgb.to file from your users folder to the new computer.

The file is located here:

C:\Users\<user>\Games\Age of Empires 3 DE\<0>\Users

We are working to improve this system so this data can be shared between computers more easily though that file should be transferred if cloudsync is enabled on Steam/Windows Store/Xbox App.

How can I recover it if I lost my entire hard drives information and things. The US DLC is still unlocked but the portraits won’t return.

This happened to me too, sadly. I lost all my portraits, even when they said in every event that you can keep them forever if you log to xbox. That didn’t worked apparently.

Devs should recycle them but there is no will for this
