Hello there,

Sorry to hear that you are losing your progress and apologies for the delayed reply.

It sounds like you're running your game without Administrator Rights that prevents the game from creating/writing/editing files (such as, your save file) on your hard drive.

Can you please make sure to start the game with Administrator Rights with {LINK REMOVED}

Many thanks and if you have any additional questions, please let us know.

you dont save and quit you just save the game first then quit
Black Eye games Apr 17, 2021 @ 7:31am 
the haveing adminstraor rights is not the prolem the game save and quit is the prolem as the game quits before it saves

over all the game souldnt of had a 1 file slot save took me years to best the game due to the prolem

also you got to turn off clond saveing and only save to your pc not uplay saves

I always manual save at places where you can like Cabins etc, then i windows tab out go into Ubisoft program files, copy my save then put into a FC5 save folder i created in My Documents, then close that all up and go back into the game, anything happens you've always got those backup saves.

Hi Ubi,

So far i've tried reinstalling both Uplay and Far cry 5, then same again but on the same drive

tried fresh install no anti virus and all exceptions enabled .

tried fresh install admin rights.

tried turning off cloud syncro and manually backing up save. ( i have the save game files here)

tried turning cloud syncro back on and restarting.

everytime i check to see if the save game work i have to to play the whole intro scenes which is like 25 mins. so im pretty tired of trying now and im disappointed
