In Farcry 4,in any trading post after buy & selling,I try to save the game inside the trading post by default,and outside.
I get the onscreen message "cannot access the main menu while an autosave is in progress".
When I quit and restart the game,it starts back to where I was before my game advancement to the trading post,which is lost.
This problem also occurs when I try to save & quit.Again,it shows the "cannot access the main menu while an autosave is in progress".
Rig:Windows 7 sp1,AMD FX-8120 8 Core,16 gig RAM,Nvidiva Geforce GTX 560.
Thankyou in advance.
reinstall your game or verify your game files .. id also say get a better GPU ..a GTX 560 is kinda weak for FC 4 (sorry but its true)
also make sure you have the up to date version of Uplay installed set to to launch as run as Administrator
reinstall Install Uplay on your C drive helps many times with save issues since the save files write to a program files location
each save consists of 4 small files
1.save
1.save.upload
2.save
2.save.upload
one is an auto save the other is a user created save point, the other ones are upload files that save to the cloud ,and it will always make those .upload files even if you shut off the cloud save option in Uplay settings
with the steam version of the game, saves your game to
C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 856
the Uplay only version they go in
C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 420
if you need backed up save files i have a .zip that covers almost every mission of the game .. you can get them here , see the read me .txt on how to use em

good luck! and yea try getting a better vid card .. a GTX 1050 \ 1050ti \ GTX 1060 would go nice with the CPU you have , the GTX 560 is kinda outdated ..and yea FC 4 can struggle even with a GTX 750 ti , you can see that here

Thankyou WID992007, for your quick, prompt,and insightful reply to which I appreceiate.
I have varified the game files in U-Play,and to no difference.
In the manual saving of my games which you suggested,I noticed in the 420 folder,it had three files thus:
1.save
2.save
2.save.tmp
Could it be that one of those files (maybe 2.save.tmp?) is corrupting the loading within the game?
And BTW,the game itself performs beautifully on the vid card which I have.And that is with having a 27 inch monitor.
Lots of other hungry games I've played over the past 6 years,and the old girl has never let me down yet.Only had to clean it out about 4 or 5 times![]()
ok well lets try this next
open Documents \ My games | far cry 4 your gonna see a sub folder thats a series of letters and numbers
open that folder
delete the gamerprofile file
the game should generate a new one the next time ya start it
next delete those pesky save files an try staring a new game ?
you have my save file backups ya can try
and make sure you shut off the Uplay cloud save setting in your Uplay client .. that may be causing your game hang on a save if you lost connectiion to the cloud server
remember you can not make a save in the middle of a mission .. far cry 3 worked the same way .. you have to press escape ..select abandon mission .. then fast travel to your nearest safehouse if you do not have time to complete the mission
yea you have to start that mission all over again .. i
if your only seeing a .save .tmp yea you may already have a corrupted save ..delete it and start a new game
or see monkey mans video on how to fix a corrupted Uplay save .. yea it deal with FC primal but the steps should be the same for FC 4
