Far cry 4 Save Game Location

[rdz]

Please Help! Say the Far Cry 4 Save Game Location!

[Einstine]

F:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\85394f55-07ee-48eb-be7d-76fb564e60ca\856

...or, modified;

X:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<cryptic name>\856

My practice is to backup the saves each time I quit.

Thanks!

Is there but seems incorrect. The date on the files is not the date of current play even though I have reached a checkpoint

Are checkpoints kept in a seperate location?

no your saves as well as checkpoints are in the same location

the default install is

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

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

one is a check point the other a hard save

you may have left the Uplay cloud save sync setting on .. SHUT it off as it can lead to a corrupted cloud save

back your saves manually to a usb drive = your best option

see this page on how to do that

if you get a corrupt save see the tips section Pinned to the top of the forums .. both i and Akuna have provided save file back up links that cover much of the game

Farcry 3 had a weird thing where saves were encrypted. Farcry 4 doesn't have this issue?

then you need to run the game with administrator rights

so the save files and config files can be created

most likely this is being blocked by too high of a windows security setting on you machine or your antivirus or firewall program

see https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/connectivity-and-performance/article/running-applications-with-administrator-rights/000060505

if you still have a problem CONTACT UBISOFT SUPPORT DIRECTLY

game saves fine here on over 6 different systems i have built since it shipped in 2014

make sure you install the updated version of UBI CONNECT as well as yes steam may install an outdated version of the launcher software on a 9 yr old title like FAR CRY 4
