    stuck in autosave and black screen after death.

    I am unable to fast travel or save or save and quite due to the game permantly autosaving.

    this is right after the sermon on the mount mission i am on top of the mountain next to the wingsuit spawn.I went into the saves file and deleted one of the 2 saves there (all other save file locations aswell) i was then able to save but only while i was there as soon as i did something that would call for an auto save the game would glitch again.

    when i die it freezes on a black screen aswell i assume this is the game trying to autosave still and wont let me respawn as a result.
    I went into gamer xml and turned autosave from 1 to 0 but it persists. i restarted the pc aswell.

    please help.

    Same problems

    Yeah, the minute i die, it just goes black, nothing happens past that.
    There is no ability to save or fast travel.
    I started again, had the same problem, then when i pressed continue, it started my old game that should of be overwritten.
    Essentially i cannot play the game at all.
    Well done guys, cracking job...

    same here, no saves after 18% in.

    I'm 18 percent of the way in. I have found that I am unable to continue as I am no longer able to save the game. When I die or fast travel, I get a black screen and have to reboot. It's weird that when I re-enter zones where I have secured the area, there are no longer any NPCs or animals either. I have placed a ticket with UBI already.

    Specs: AMD 955 quad, HD 7800, 8 gig DDR3 ram, 240 SSD, 1000w power supply, and a crackin Walmart box fan for cooling.

    Guys i got it! I had tried removing save files loading it up coming out and putting them back in but that didnt work. What did was going into documents/mygames and find your farcry 4 folder. i am not 100 percent as to how i fixed it but heres what i did

    first when i loaded in as soon as possible i manually saved before the glich happened 3 times that may have done something , but here is what i think really fixed it :

    i took the gameprofilexml and put it on my desktop booted up the game so it made a new one and it was fixed then if you had edited that file its ok because once you come out of the game you can move the original file back in and all should be well for a little time atleast. redo if it happens again. As i said before mine started to work again but i am not sure on what exactly i did please say if any of this fixed it.

    comuter/libraries/documents/mygames/farcry4/ and you should find GamerProfile and HIDInputRemapper in there alone. gamerprofile is the one you want.
