    Save bug - Losing data constantly

    Im sure this has been reported but wanted to bring this up cause it might be the issue and might not be the issue.

    Im kinda noticing something, is when my files get deleted I decided to try somethign and keep two folders open at the same time, my backup of my original save and an empty folder for new saves to be made.

    When the new saves were made - 3 files show up. "1.save" 1.save.tmp" and 1.save.upload"
    those 3 files im guessing are your main game, ubisoft put in a feature so you couldn't family share and such. but what im noticing is a second file pops up after exiting or saving while in game called "2.save" which I know you can't save multiple files. so maybe the second "2.save" is the one causing issues and the files are getting mixed and corrupted or out of place??

    if a ubisoft forum person see's this, maybe its the reason?? just a suggestion, im just tired of losing my saves haha. you get tired of having to hand cuff the guy for the 10th time in a row

    Noticed something

    Most people's game have a "CPY" file in it where it locates the save drives, but im noticing that in the PC files, we dont have that so the game doesn't know where the **** our save is. maybe taht's what is happening?

    Hi, SesChaser
    Thanks for the info, I dont know the ins and outs of the process the game goes through when saving, thats something the devs would be more aware of.

    Could you try disabling cloud sync to see if the issue reoccurs?

    Save doesn't save

    No. Even you desable cloud sync, it wouldn't save on disk. Where is catch. As save file is deleted when you start game again. Also you don't see open menu only New game.

    Disabling cloud sync

    Well disabling cloud sync and following the instructions from UbiSailorScout on another forum post, did not show any result, even with cloud sync disabled and turning off the overlay it still showed the issue and erased my game progress as well as made me restart..for the 12th time! haha. anyway just trying to be of help, lets hope tommorrow's update. fixes this

    Do you have any files located here? You may have local saves in there.

    No saves

    No the original location of which the saves are, are located in my E drive where I told uplay to put them, my C drive is my SSD which is used for my editing programs and recording software.

    But even with it put in the correct location both through steam and uplay, it still doesn't fix the issue, even after the 1.8gb update for far cry, the problem still is there causing me to constantly lose HOURS upon HOURS of the game and having to go through the entire ****ing start, and listen to the father's ********, as well as the other's.

    Just saying, you should REALLY make it so we can skip that ****.

    Could you try making a new windows user profile to see if the issue persists on there too?
