how do i delete save files

[orpheus]

win 11 trying to find file 420 to start new game of valley of the yetis

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 are 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

thanks have found 420 ! but why not have a start new game system

[-=SOF=-WID99]

what drive did you install ubi connect to ?

are you indeed running the UBI connect launcher as well as STEAM with Administrator rights enabled

where did you buy the copy of the game you are running as i see you did not buy it on steam

i also have a non steam copy..purchased from ubi connect all i do is delete the files in the 420 folder before i load my game ..and boom restart the game .. and yep the option is there for .......... start a new game

note also this will also delete your main far cry 4 save game .. the two are not separate

so back up your save files .. if you require save game back ups files look in the far cry 4 troubleshooting tips section pinned above

there are links to my saves in section 14 ..see the read me file in the .zip for how to use em and how you can make your own save file backups

and yes its Normal that file dropper will issue a warning ,, my .zip of far cry 4 saves is totally safe

and did ya find the folder i was talking about .. again it says C as i always install the UBI launcher to Drive C

if you used another drive like E or F or X it should be in the same location




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

ok thanks found it after a long search , not where i have found it before

cool man enjoy !

remember

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


just delete all in that folder and go restart your game and ya should be good

as long as ya have the UBI cloud save option ticked to off in UBI connect settings
