Far Cry 3 ubisoft save location

[Det. Dave Starsky]

I need to uninstall fc3 for now to save space for another game on my ssd..
If I uninstall will the save be lost ?
I got the game direct from ubisoft and not through steam..
Is there a cloud save and or a file saved location, I'd like to backup the save if possible..

Cheers

There is a cloud save I think, yes.

420 i think???? if you need to back up all your Uplay saves ..here is how

steam version uses folder number 46 for fc 3

steam and Uplay only versions always use differing folder numbers

how can you tell you picked the right one

play the game save and Quit


open that folder X?? as i dunno what drive you installed uplay to ... :\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames

for save games .. see which one matched the date and time you just played FC 3

thats your save folder for FC 3

save files are pretty small you can make backups all the time and fit em on a usb thumb drive

then justy copy and paste the saves right back into your game .. note you must disable the Uplay cloud save sync option in uPlay ..and yea you can make multiple save file backups on a USB thumb drive

@-=SOF=-WID99 , thank you..

I have Primal and 4 saved to my C: on he ssd, I also had 3 on there until I uninstalled it the other day to play LA Noire..

I just checked Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames and there are 3 saved folders in there for all 3 far cry games ,the only games Ive played on ubisoft..

Its good to know the game save is there..

Much appreciated for your help.

My problem is on my Windows 10 system the "savegames" folder is NOT there.

Also, "C:\ProgramData" does not have Far Cry 3 save-game files as suggest on other sites.

Does anyone know where Far Cry 3 saves are located on Windows 10?

i have windows 10 PRO on both my PC's


the save file location is the same

its even the same on my oldest PC here that still has Win 7 Ultimate on it

and the same folder on my Windows 8.1 laptop

its not in C :\ program data .. its



C:\ program files X 86 /ubisoft / ubisoft game launcher /save games / a folder with a long series of letters /46 <-----------------is the folder number for FAR CRY 3 STEAM version

a uplay only version uses the same folder number > 46

that folder holds your saves

also back up your GamerProfile .xml file \

that file is in C :\ documents> MY GAMES > FAR CRY 3

if you wish to play the SP dlc and own FAR CRY 3 deluxe edition

that file holds a lockstring that is needed to play it after it has been activated ..

make the file read only for best results when you archive it
