    Undiscovered Locations Remain Undiscovered Despite Visiting The Area

    Anyone else having this problem? It's happening for me in some of Yuma's territory. Paul's and Noore' were fine. I haven't sacked Yuma's fortress yet so maybe that might be the issue but everything else is done in that area... Even Yuma herself has been defeated.

    I'm also having the 'undiscovered/discovered' locations issue with at least two spots

    I'm glad it's not just me. I thought I was going crazy.... in Northern Kyrat there are two spots where the undiscovered locations don't register as discovered no matter what I seem to do. I am looking for 100% completion of the game so this is bothering me.


    One of them is at the bottom of a lake where a car has crashed amongst some large boulders. I collected the loot chests in the area and swam all around there - on more than one gaming session - and it still registers as undiscovered.

    The other is on the North side of Northern Kyrat...near a cave where a small stream mysteriously begins from the ground. Again, I collected the nearby loot and have visited and gone all around the area on multiple gaming sessions but it still shows undiscovered.


    Does anyone have a solution to this issue? Ubisoft?

    im having the same problem with the location at the lake. as for the one near the cave, just land your gyrocopter on the question mark and then take off vertically. you'll get it. thats how i got mine.

    I appreciate the tip. The Gyrocopter (buzzer) was the key to getting the unknown location in the stream that previously wouldn't register. I still can't get the one in the lake after yet another attempt.

    These two locations are well known. There were several threads about them since the game was launched.

    Apparently, the developers messed up with the coordinates of the location markers. While in the location near a stream they put the marker too high, so fortunately you can unlock it with a buzzer, the marker of sunken truck location they placed several meters UNDER the river floor, which makes it unreachable. You can clearly see it on my screenshots here:

    And they haven't fixed it in the newest patch, which is disappointing as it's supposed to be easiest fix ever for those who know exactly where are the coordinates of the location markers in the game data files...

    If you purchase a locations map, does that solve the problem for that last (underwater), remaining location?

    Have you ever bought a locations map?? )))
    It just shows you the coordinates of the locations on the map - if a location is still undiscovered, it appears as a nameless question mark, you have to visit it to unlock the name... Without a map you wouldn't even know that there is a location there until you find it (you will see it on your mini map as a question mark only when you're really close to it) and unlock it...
    Look at my screenshot of the map on Steam forum.

    I don't buy the maps, which is why I asked ...

    Currently hunting for the last four lost letters - which I will only do once.
