    Any update on this UBISOFT? Was waiting patiently for todays patch. didnt fix anything. i can play for 2 hours and if i die, it reverts me back to this transport truck escort mission i was on back when it was working.

    I dont know what you guys did, i managed to get 19% into the game with zero issues. then since like patch 1.3 its all boned.

    This bug occurs to me right before I have to go to Utkarsh.
    Shame how nothing seems to solve this...

    And what good is this going to do? I don't need some illiteral customer support employee to tell me what to do when I have tried every single thing mentioned both here and other things that come with the usual recommended things to do.
    Yes my hardware can run the game fine (medium, stable fps), it only happened since yesterday (presumably the last patch update?), and it definitely is NOT on my end as other are having the same problem.

    Instead of discussing this with customer support, why not make a post here globally with "possible" fixes for this issue?

    Because they have the answers that we don't.

    I did a ticket to UBISOFT. to which they responded the Black screen fix was coming in patch 1.4 (nov.22), i dont even think they read my ticket to be honest. my issue is with the broken saving. I responded to their ticket response saying NO that did no help me. I elaborated on the issue and have had no response in 4 days.

    Same here. I opened a ticket November 20th. I can't save or climb the first rope. Have a support ticket and they marked it as "in game crash"??. That day they recommended I try running the game and uplay as admin and also cleaning out my temp files. Then they recommended I uninstall/reinstall and that's it. That suggestion was made November 24th. I have just updated the ticket again asking what else would they like me to try.

    Kind of sad really. I've had the game installed since the 18th and can't even get past the first rope. I have actually moved on now. Not expecting to get it working anytime soon so I installed Far Cry 2 just because I hadn't played it yet. Even it plays and saves fine. Maybe when I'm done I'll play FC3 again just because it was awesome, although, I would actually really love to play FC4 and progress past the first rope and actually save the game so that I don't have to start over again... I never would have thought this was too much to ask but then maybe I'm expecting too much or simply being impatient? Oh well.

    I think that the problem with saving is because the save file has gone corrupt. I started a new game and everything worked fine. Maybe something happened with the last patch that caused the save files to become corrupt? Either way, it's disappointing as I was close to ending the game...

    I tried starting a new game and it would go black screen after the avalanche scene. so i restored my old save file (which was in recycle bin) and am waiting for a fix

    Whenever I die in game I get the dreaded Black sceen of nothing. I have yet to get to a stage in the game where it will let me save. I got to the avalanche scene and passed it. Then the screen went black and nothing.

    Every time I have to end the game in task manager so I always have to play the game right from the very start. the intro cut scene is bloody long and very boring after the tenth time! Nothing back yet from support like most people here. £40 very well spent so far.......I think not!
