    The Camera/Rock bug from Farcry 3 is present in this game.

    I was playing co-op with a friend of mine when I died (crashed my face into a mountainside in wingsuit i believe) and when my friend revived me, I had no weapons, nothing. Some guys attacked us and I still had a knife so I took him down and took his AK, and as soon as I got back to an outpost, replaced my loadout. I didn't even notice that this had happened to me until much later, when you're prompted to use the camera to take a picture of one of your commander kills. It isn't a keybind issue, I mapped the camera and rock keys to half the keys on my keyboard and a few on the mouse. I'm pretty sure it's the same bug from farcry 3.

    Really ubisoft? Really?

    You let the same bug persist through multiple titles? This is the worst game launch I've ever seen(I've been in a lot of them), and I can run the game just fine. I feel bad for the folks looking at black screens and CTD's. Other game companies are making you look like fools with better ALPHA releases than this game (think heroes of the storm or DayZ)

    Theres the forum thread for Farcry 3 where this bug was supposedly fixed for that game.

    Apart from that I have a question for the Farcry 4 support community. Anyone figured out where savegames reside? I can't seem to find where they locally reside (I haven't looked REALLY hard) But I may be able to fix this my damn self. I may be able to edit/hexedit my save file to give myself a camera and some rocks. That's all. hope somebody of import sees this. I'm really enjoying beta testing this $60 AAA title.

    I just noticed it took my repair tool as well. Sigh.

    Second verse, same as the first

    Hi guys, first time posting,

    Exactly the same problem as above, started after I died in a coop game. Lost all my inventory, picked up new weapons but lost access to my repair torch and camera.

    I now cannot complete the story mode, and don't particularly want to start a new game if it will just happen again.

    Any update on fixing this?

    How is this even possible?

    Why is it even possible to lose camera, rocks and blowtorch?
    And the game rubs it in the face; jump out of truck and use blowtorch to repair it! Wait you don't have blowtorch? Well fix the damn car anyways!!! You can't? Here is handy tip: use blowtorch to fix the car!
    Or with camera; go sneak there and take 3 pictures of that place! Kill some commanders and take a picture!
    Can't even use rocks because I don't have them in my inventory! So basically before I got bugged, I had a portal leading to infinite pile of rocks sitting in the bottom of my pockets?
    How can such a game braking bug still occur after you "fixed" it on Far Cry 3?
    I am just so pissed at this game rubbing my lack of crucial items on my face
    Those items should be sold at trading posts/merchants or be reobtaiden from somewhere. Or some kind of inventory reset in case of these bugs

    same issue on ps4

    I'm having the same issue in my ps4 copy. I've had a ticket made for 4 days now still without a response, except for the automated response asking if the reply I never got was satisfactory. I'm completely stuck in the game as the next story mission requires use of the camera. I've already had the story spoiled for me by other *******s while trying to do research on this issue. I've been a long time ubisoft fan due to the excellence that was assassins creed, but after the epic fail that was ac unity and now far cry 4, making me spend $120 on paperweight junk in 1 weeks time I refuse to purchase their products again. Between bungie, rockstar and now ubisoft I'm starting to think there's no headline video game companies to trust any longer. I've played more stable free-to-play games. /rant

    I've noticed a bug where the camera fails to zoom in and keeps zooming out when I try to tag someone or something.

    I found where savegames are and tried hex editing to get the camera/stuff back, to no avail, I cant find the proper values related to it (I'd hoped it would be as simple as changing a 0 to a 1 but it isnt).

    This is also a bump as more and more people are getting this issue and like me, cant progress.

    Tell me how to fix it ubisoft and I'll do it myself.

    Same thing here - no camera, rocks, repair tool and lost 2mil in $$

    PC version, same thing happened to me - now I have no camera, no rocks, no repair tool and I'm out money.

    The main issue is the camera. As other responders have indicated, many missions ask for camera use.

    I too died when using the wingsuit - is perhaps the bug related to a wingsuit-induced death?

    I certainly tried many times before succeeding to uncover the bug.

    How can we resolve this issue?? Lose all progress??
