    missing upgrade and perks and other fails

    This is the 4th. new game i am at. First game was ok.
    Second new game, quite ok also, but when rescuing the pastor Jerome, he did not exit the car.
    I drove the car back to prosperity with him in. I went in and out of the base, and the car was gone, and he was standing there.
    First a bit later, the mission was accomplished.

    3rd. new game, well there were bugs, i might tell those later.

    4th. game, just upgraded base to 1. level, and headed against a hostile outpost to conguer. I noticed, that the 3rd. medical pack i have put perks in for earlier, was now down to 2 packs. Game has "forgotten" about the perk upgrade of this.
    Annoying is, to read at the start of a new game, that all earlier perks will be given, while they actually never is.

    The perks for that medical pack are now gone. That medical pack are now gone.

    Now, my character is stuck in the plants outside wikibenia! He can't jump neither move. He is stepping like a crazy though.
    After restarting the game, the character was moved a bit, and can play.
    I went for the upgrade for the sawlauncher at Grace's area. I picked up the items, and it tells me that i got 3 perks.
    I had 1 perk before and still after doing the attack at the properity, i still have juts one perk. Where are those 3 perks?

    You know you can edit your posts if you press on the Plus sign next to Reply?

    Regarding your perk issues, did you die after spending those perk points?

    For example, if you have let's say 5 perk points and you buy the Grapple (which costs 2 points), you'll have 3 points left.
    However, if you then die before the game saves, the checkpoint will be reloaded at the time of your last save, which was before you spend those points (or maybe even before you gained them in the first place). So, after the checkpoint is reloaded, you will not have the Grapple and will have 5 perk points again.

    The same occurs when you gain perk points. Most of the perk points you get by completing challenges.
    If you complete a challenge, you get some perk points but if you die or reload checkpoint/quit game, then, when the game resumes, it will be before you complete that challenge, so you won't have those perk points; you would have to complete the challenge again to get those points again.

    TL;DR The game doesn't automatically save after you gain or spend perk points. I'd suggest fast traveling to another location after you gain or spend some perk points, because this triggers a save.


    On another note, what do you mean by "4th new game" you're at?
    Did you start the game from the beginning 4 times? If so, why?

    Also, that message is about Perk Points bought with Farcry Credits (real money).

    I notice the icon for editing, i didn't last time, and was looking for it lol.
    Well, about the perks. I wonder, why does it have time to save the spended amount, but not saving the perk it gave for this amount? It just doesnt make much sense.
    Yes, i died somewhere arond spending those perks, but i just thought, saving is saving all what has been up till then.

    Starting a new game, is after completing the parent game. When alls is done, there are not much competition in running around shooing bisons and bandits, with no goal, which leads to a starting the game over.

    My next problem is, that sometimes the taking a photograph works, sometimes not. I mean, the event where you have to hold up the picture to match in the horizon.
    It is just picking up the binocoulars instead. I checked the keybard bindings, all spots are filled out, and there are no conflict.

    You have to be near the chair that has a camera on top. A message at the top should appear ("Inside search area" or something like that).
    And, while inside the search area, you have to HOLD the binoculars button.

    I am also at the chair, while looking at the buidling. I get no confirmation on being "inside search area" ingame.
    I later discovered, that i have to pick up the picture box, before this works.

    No, the photos should not be affected by any nearby missions, treasure hunts etc.

    Maybe you've already completed the photo at that location already and just forgot?
    You can check the photos in the Inventory, under the Mission Objects section. If the photo of that location isn't in your inventory, then you've already completed it.

    Since i completed in parent game, and forgot about the picture box.

    In any of the 4 new games i have launched, it is impossible to deliver a truckload of Ethanol to the Chop Shop. It is not
    registrated.

    In any of the two last of 4 new games, the weapon crafted in parent game, does only show up in second game, when workbench is at 3. level.
    Next new games does not give that crafted weapon.
