Far Cry Primal directory not present in user/My Games
Primal fails immediately following the 'save' icon notification with this error:
File System Failure: Aborting execution. "C;\Users\Jim\My Games\Far Cry Primal\GamerProfile.xml"
This directory and associated files do not exist on my PC after on-line download and install of game. I have rebooted, etc., tried off-line, verified the install, still no joy. I created the folder and files by copying from Far Cry 4, and had some success, but eventually, the Far Cry 4 files weren't up to it. :(
PLEASE! How do I get the Far Cry Primal local directory contents?....(and why didn't it install in the first place?)
my solution which worked for me

I've 'faked' it using the files from Far Cry 4 in a Far Cry Primal directory I created, and passed on by the original error. It then fails later on in the launch sequence, since the files are not quite right for Primal. I'm trying to talk support into just zipping up a copy of the missing directory from a working game.....but they don't seem to want to do that. :(
Addendum...Actually, have Far Cry 2, 3, 4, and Watch_Dogs directories. Just installed Far Cry 2 with no problems. (retro!)
Hi
had the same issue. reason is a Windows 10 upgrade without a clean install. it messes up with user rights from previous windows version.
To solve issue go to C:\User\My Documents\Mygames\ and create the folder Far Cry Primal manually. (the folder you see in error message box, path must be correct)
then right click on the folder select properties and change to security tab. there press the settings button directly below the small overview of the users list. in next window select the user name you have when you logon to windows and give it "full rights". press ok and apply.
If it doesnt work you have selected the wrong user name.
i gave all user in the list full rights so i dont need to experiment which is correct
I also had this issue with fallout 4.
Hopefully this will help

File system failure: aborting execution.
done all the stuff in this forum but same error keep popping up.
also have the same thing with another game "Alan wake"
yep same error not existing filemap
hope simple fix will come soon
having the same problems and i dont understand on how to fix it
When the game gets to the "this is what the save icon looks like" thing in the loading screens, the game crashes and it says "Fatal error" and under that it says "C:\Users\thewi\Documents\My Games\Far Cry Primal\GamerProfile.xml" and yes, I have read every response and hearing that other people got theirs to work, but I just don't understand going through files all that well.
I don't think you have to alter files
I had the exact same problem as you just now (crazy 3 hours ago what a coincidence)
I gave write permissions to the files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Far Cry Primal\bin
then I opened up my antivirus (windows defender) and turned real-time security off. Now my game is running. It really seems to be the antivirus.
Hope it works for you aswell, I made an account here to tell you about it
