This Game Is Sooooo F**ked Up Video Settings Won't Save
I have been playing this game on full 1920x1080@60Hz since I purchased it I just update U(seless)Play as it always seems to have a bloody update everyday, and now the game has reset to 1280x1024@60hz and always (this happens before update) starts in windows mode.

I usually just have to switch it back to full screen and I can carry on with my game but when I change it to 1920x1080@60hz and full screen and press X on the controller to apply settings it changes but when I hit B to go back it f**king resets to 1280x1024@60hz window mode.

Ubi seem to continually f**k up everything everytime I can't play the game now because it looks ♥♥♥♥♥ at 1280x1024@60hz WTF

At least it doesn't overheat your video card to 95C if ambient occlusion is enabled. Lol. It's the only game that does that to my GPU.

Have you tried editing the file at My Documents -> my games -> Far Cry 3 -> GamerProfile?
Edit them there, save the file and don't ever open the video options after that.

Also change the permissions to that folder/file to read only.

Well tried that and it wouldn't work but if I load up steam then uPlay and load it from Uplay it works fine everything is saved and I haven't once had to go into VIDEO and switch it too full screen.

Why couldn't they just put it on STEAM without Uplay I really don't know

Because it's Ubisoft and they demand every one of their games to be connected with Uplay as well. Same as EA with Origin.
