You can check if you have a manual save in the one save slot you get. Otherwise I'm pretty sure it is like FC3, where there is no way to do this without manually backing up save files in Windows.

You'll have to Google Far Cry 4 save game location, but there won't be an older savegame there unless you already backed them up.

Save game files are at c/program files(x86),ubisoft,savegames folder,but once another game is saved you lost your old file,,next time make a folder on your desktop and save your save file there before letting someone play and save...just copy and paste it...

If you have Windows 7, find the directory and rightclick "restore previous version".

Here's the path to the save files in your computer:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\58bbd877-836e-4d00-afd6-ff9705fc4e2c\856

the letters and numbers can differ, but I hope you get the idea. ;) Your saves folder can be named also "420", "917" or something else instead of "856". Its always 3 digits. If you have other ubisoft games, it will be more than one saves folders in that folder with long name. You can find Far Cry 4 folder according to the dates the save files inside were created.

After finding your saves folder try this:

1. Copy the 3-digit folder and paste it in different place, then create another backup.

2. Open one copy of 3-digit folder. You will see numbered pairs of *.save and *.save.upload files saved at different time. Choose only one pair (for example, the oldest one) and delete all other pairs.

3. Go to your original savegames location and delete the saves folder, then put there tempered saves folder from step 2 (one with only the oldest pair of save files).

4. Go to UPlay settings and uncheck cloud syncronization.

5. Load the game and see if you succeeded to load older save.

6. You can try the same thing with another pair of saves.

Have they been created at the same date and time?
If thet haven't, try to leave only the older one.

If they have, try to right click on the 3-digit folder and choose "restore previous version"....

Can the older save be the one you want?
As for restore option it sould be one if you running Windows 7 (I'm not sure about W8).
But even if you'll find this option, it can be or not to be stored previous versions - it depends on your computer settings...
In the future it's always a good idea to backup and store your saves along the game... ;)
