how do i download saves?

[Bob]

i had to factory reset my pc and lost my game save. i absolutley hate how slow and boring the opening of the game is, and was trying to download a new save. I found some but cant get them to work. i put them in the ubisoft save game folder, but it doesnt work when i load the game.

You can replay missions and have multiple save files . its not that hard to do .

here are some of my backed upsave files (i have the Steam version of the base game )
i have saves for every mission

again i have the Legit Steam version of the game see the .txt notepad file in the zipped archive on how to use them and where they go


remember you have to shut off the uplay cloud save setting first to use backed up save files



just copy and paste my saves to the right folder or copy the entire 856 folder over if you have the steam version .. with the uplay only version re name the folder to 420

the + numbers mean those saves have unused skill points you can use on some of the saves

each save consists of 4 small files
1.save
1.save.upload
2.save
2.save.upload

one is an auto save the other is a user created save point, the other ones are upload files that save to the cloud ,and it will always make those .upload files even if you shut off the cloud save option in Uplay settings

these will not work with a pirated copy of FarCry 4 you have to own the legit version

with the steam version of the game, saves your game to

C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 856


the Uplay only version they go in
C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 420

to use these you do have to shut off the Uplay Cloud save option in the Uplay client settings .. but you should do this anyway, as it can create problems with a corrupted cloud save (it happened to me with FarCry 3 years ago and i had to delete my saved games and start the game all over , was the only way to fix it )

open Uplay FIRST

go to settings and uncheck the option that says
Enable Cloud Save Sycronization for supported games

oh and ALWAYS before you start a new game go to that 856 (or 420 ) folder and clear out and delete the saves you have left in there ...BEFORE you start a new game , not doing so can make the game go a bit WONKY , like one time i did not clear that out.... and i had ZERO Pagans Wrath convoys appear at all in my game , and i was unable to unlock the vehichle take down Skill.

if you need to back up your own save files first see this webpage
