    Far Cry 4 "Failed to synchronize achievements"

    My problem is very simple.
    This is what I get when I launch the game :



    And this is the achievement page of the game :


    This is the achievement page of Far Cry 3 and Primal :



    So concretely, any other game I have in Uplay works normaly but Far Cry 4...
    How can I fix this?

    uninstall uplay and go to the Uplay website .. download the latest version again and reinstall it should fix that error

    back up your save files first (to be safe)

    details on how to back up your saves can be found here

    https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/9/...0000000enCFCAY

    and make sure when you uninstall Uplay you do not select uninstall your games and saves too

    that same thing happens to me once i complete the valley of the yeti DLC

    i have the steam version of FarCry 4

    the only way to correct it is uninstall uplay .. download it again and reinstall it

    i opened up support tickets 3 times on that problem each time the final conclusion was the problem was being sent up to the DEV team for them to address it
    first ticket i opened was over a year ago .. so yes its still a problem that has not been corrected in any patch .. last time oi contacted them was in September 2015

    again was told it would have to be forwarded to the DEV team to address the problem and correct it

    if i complete Valley of they Yeti today .. Uplay will go into that same boot loop saying Failed to Synchronize achievements when i launch FarCry 4

    until i totally uninstall uplay and then re install it to get them back

    it also never shows the in game achievements for the valley of the yeti DLC nor shows i have completed them

    they should be in Uplay but they are not even available with the steam version of the FarCry 4 game
    Home Sweet home
    Night survivor
    Builder
    Master builder
    Awakened
    Spiritual Hunter
    Master of the Awakened

    once i complete the DLC nothing shows up as far as any in game achievements for FarCry 4 in Uplay , just as your picture shows

    Yep, uninstalling and reinstalling Uplay fixed the problem. Thank you.

    Uplay and Ubisoft support are a mess.

    oh beautiful lol, in other words if you want to play your game that you spent money on you have to uninstall and reinstall every single time.

    NO you dont you simply have to reinstall the ubi connect software

    the VOY issue was corrected in the final patch for the title

    if you get that message now it usually means yes you have a corrupted install of ubi connect or your save file is bad .. always BACK UP YOUR OWN SAVE FILES

    never just trust them to a cloud

    to reinstall ubi connect you can get that right here
    https://ubisoftconnect.com/

    with the latest and current version see this support topic on what to do to reinstall it properly
    https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/help/c...t-pc/000063173

    and follow it and back up your own save files

    ALWAYS WRITE DOWN THE E MAIL and password you use when creating any online account and store it in a safe place , your games will be bound to that account ..
    AND make sure you back up your save files MANUALLY if you have other ubi titles installed
    Please go here to see how to perform that step
    https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/help/c...iles/000063179
    or you can use a save game file manager program like this one
    https://www.gamesave-manager.com/
    Also ALWAYS run STEAM as well as UBI CONNECT and your game with ADMINISRATOR RIGHTS ENABLED
    see this page https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/c...ghts/000060505






    ..as well as RESTART your PC , <(ALWAYS REBOOT)> UBI Connect and try your game again.
