    Tried that, but when i loaded the game it didn't start a new profile, it still had the same save location from before (even though i'd turned off save synchronization). Problem persists.

    Ok I tried it and got it to work. I only did one additional step.

    First: I moved the GamerProfile file to desktop just like Theotian recommended. I have multiple monitors so left folder open so I could watch it. (I did see it recreate after in game for a few seconds)
    Second: I changed the properties of the Farcry folder and removed the "read only" rights and for all sub folders.

    [Edit, this only worked for one death and then started black screening again :-( ]

    I'm glad to hear that some PC users are finding fixes for the problem, but still nothing official from ubisoft, eh?

    same issue here

    Got the same problem here, so I sent a bug report to Ubisoft in hope they fix this issue. The game is unplayable. I am at 74,31% complete.

    Same issue

    Got the same issue. Suddenly I am unable to save anymore. I am at 66%. It seems to happen more or less at the same time as I got to karma Level 8, but I am not sure.

    The problem for me came for a conflict between Nvidia Gpu app and may be Uplay

    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.

    As soon as I desable nvidia app I was able to save my farcry progress again I did two or three times to be sure and then I signed out , start nvidia app again started the game from steam app and the problem was solved !

    I use Nvidia GeForce Experience the problems started for me when I installed the latest drivers (GeForce gtx970 9.18.13.4725) and the GeForce Experience Version 2.2.2.0 I'm not sure if this caused the conflict with Uplay ( not being able to save and Sync with the cloud my game ) but when I started the game with GFExp disabled I finally could save my progress again

    I figured it out

    I figured out how to fix it.
    1.) Manually save the game by pressing Esc and clicking save. This will freeze the game.
    2.) Find someway to get out of the game and close it.
    3.) navigate to your "savedgames" folder for far cry 4 and you will see #.save, #.save.tmp
    4.) delete the save file with the same number as the .tmp file and rename the .tmp file to #.save
    HOPE THIS HELPED THIS WORKS EVERYTIME ON MINE.
