    Trying to find the main exe, please help

    I was reading a series of instructions on getting rid of the start cutscenes. None of the locations mentioned seem to exist for the Uplay version of the game.
    Where the heck is this thing actually stored? There doesn't seem to be a /bin folder in the Farcry 4 folder in Documents. Instead there's a folder with a string of numbers, and inside there is no exe. When I do a search for Far Cry 4, all i find is the thing that's in the Games folder and when you try to create a shortcut of it, (even from the Uplay interface) when you go to properties, there's no Target line. Instead, it's a url of sorts.
    Any help with this would be great.
    OR. Ubisoft really needs to add the ability to skip those intro cinematics (not to mention the ones in game when you have to rewatch a 10 minute video if you died or turned off the game after watching it).

    The .exe is located in your UPlay folder, for me it looks like this...E:\UPlay\games\Far Cry 4\bin\FarCry4.exe

    If you open UPlay and go to settings (click on the cog) then Downloads, there you can see where your games are installed by UPlay.

    Here is my shortcut to start game without all the intro stuff as well...BTW: If I use the Ubisoft icon then it wants re-load the game...It loads a URL and the log file (which starts with FC3 2012) it gives ERROR can't find game....go figure.....
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Far Cry 4\bin\FarCry4.exe" -skipintro

    Best Luck

    Thanks Geezar1! That's exactly where it was for me. My mistake was searching for Far Cry 4 instead of Farcry4... A silly mistake.
