Granite error
Ok, I played 4 hours in new Far Cry, but in one time I get "Granite -2000000" error and lost all my progress.

Can I recover my savegames? Or I need to start from the beginning? And how to prevent this error in future, maybe someone know?

You will have to play the game from the very beginning, to create a new local save files (local means they wont upload to Cloud) but without the Granite - 2000000 error.
You also have to keep the settings as they are and run as administrator every time.

I had this issue as-well and finally fixed it, so glad I did by this method, the game is amazing and that issue was un-nerving. Doesn't look like Ubisoft really want to fix it anytime soon.

Have you solved it? Can you start a new game? When I start new game, if I exit to main menu I get "Granite" error again and lost my save files. So, I can't play in Far Cry 5, cause I can't make any progress in it.

Yeah I'm stuck not being able to play the game with a save file.

Same problem for me. I'm enjoying the game so much that I want to just leave it open to avoid the saving problem, but I know that whenever this gets patched I'll just have to restart anyway. What a bummer for a huge title like this

Okay. I installed this simulator of broken save games on my second computer. And what do you think? Bingo, "Granite-2000000" error! How can it be? Maybe the root of problem in our uplay accounts?

What do you think?
