    Body armor bug

    Hi,

    I have bought Farcry 4 on Steam. But I have the Body armor bug. I can buy body armor, but there is nothing to see above my health bar.
    Is there already a solution to fix this bug?

    What I have already tried:
    Verify intergrity of game cache,
    Search around the internett.
    Joined a co-op game. And afther that I quit the game and save it. Going play offline again doesn't fix this issue.

    I have already buy a body armor in the shop. The shop says: Body armor 100%.

    Can anyone help me out here?

    I never faced this bug - maybe your graphics card is too old?
    Any game mods installed?

    Perhaps list your hardware details?

    try this ...
    open documents \ My games \ far cry 4 \ *your ubi id in numbers folder *

    delete your gamerprofile .xml file in that folder

    (the game will generate a new one once you restart the game with the default values )

    *note you may need to reset your in game settings for video and any custom keybinds you made and such i think *

    sounds like you played the game with someone who may have been using a trainer or cheat , yes they can screw up your game really bad .. even just by playing with some one who is using one . i remember hearing people say they got stuck with such things as unlimited ammo , as well as god mode after playing with a person who had a trainer running, and it kinda makes sense that a cheater may want unlimited body armor or by use of a trainer to manipulate that setting

    by deleting that file they were able to correct the issue and get their game back to normal

    if that does not help contact Ubi support directly for your region

    contact details can be found here https://support.ubi.com/en-GB/Contact#en-gb

    i dunno then contact UBI support for your region

    i have had the game on 5 different systems since the day it shipped
    on all 5 i had no problem with the body armor

    one has Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit (still ) AMD r9 270 X GPU sold that card and put in my old AMD HD 7750 since i no longer game on that rig
    my laptop had win 8.1 (updated that to Win 10 home ) AMD HD 8650 dual graphics )
    my main desktop used to run Win 7 ultimate .. now win 10 pro and that has an ASUS GTX 960 factory overclocked card - driver version 359.06 from ASUS

    plus 2 systems i sold that both ran Win 7 Pro and had Nvidia GPu's \ one had a GTX 770 \ one had a GTX 780

    on all of them the body armor showed up as a white line right above my health bar , and functioned normally

    also i never said you cheated .. the game has a flaw in it if you play with some one who has a trainer enabled yes it can change YOUR settings too (in that gamerprofile.xml file) \and can enable cheats even on your machine , like godmode or unlimited ammo ..never heard of it affecting the armor ..but who knows with the trainers they post on the internet . anything is possible

    a few people reported the problem before as i said in my previous post ..if deleting that file didn't help then that is not your issue .. contact Ubi Support

    I have exactly the same problem, I buy the body armor, and appears a very very fine white line.

    If I set the game in 1280x720 the white line appears correctly.

    On the other hand if I delete folder far cry 4 from my documents, the white line appears normal in every resolution I set the game.

    And suddendly, again very very fine white line (almost invisible)
