So I played the game for two weeks, worked well (some bugs). The game didn't download any patches even though I understood that 1.4. had been already released, but it didn't matter. Then on this Friday (5th of December), Uplay downloaded the 1.4. patch to my game and I started playing. And I noticed that all my progress was lost on all the side missions etc., story progression and karma are still normal. Also, I can use all the skills I've unlocked, even though the skill menu doesn't show that I have them.
I of course wrote a ticket to Ubisoft about it and they haven't answered yet. I also know that other people have this same problem and I'm just writing about this so Ubisoft COULD ACTUALLY FIX THEIR F'N GAME! I paid 77€ for the damn Kyrat Edition and I want my money's worth. I've already used over 17 hours to this game, so I sure *** hell am not starting it from the beginning. If I (and all the others with this problem) have to do it, there better be some sort of compensation.
Also, I have no save games in the /bin/Profiles/ folder. Actually, I have no Profiles folder. So I can't even try to use one of my older saves to see if it fixes this.
1,4 is a very old version .. your game should auto update to version 1.10 .0 thats the last patch released for FarCry 4
that patch came out in April of 2015
your game will auto Update via Uplay if you purchased the Uplay only version
if you have the game via Steam .. Steam will provide all your game updates in the Steam Client
Patch Notes are on your hard drive up to version 1.6.0 in the FarCry 4 Support folder ...after that they stopped including patch notes with the patches
go here for a listing of what the patches included http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...version-number
Ubisoft does not offer manual Download of any of the FarCry 4 patches ..your game will auto update
if you find the game is losing progress its probably tied to a corrupted save file ..save files are located in
the steam version of the game, saves your game to
C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 856
the Uplay only version they are in
C:\ Program files X86 \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft game launcher \savegames \ *a folder with a long series
of letters and numbers Varies from system to system* \ 420
you should shut off the Uplay Cloud save setting in the Uplay client .. its been Known to cause problems..it totally toasted my Far Cry 3 save game a few years ago ..since then i keep that setting in Uplay disabled and have had ZERO problems
its really only useful if you play your games across multiple PC's
see this page on what to do if you get a corrupted save and you had that setting enabled
this is for FarCry Primal but FarCry 4 works the same way as far as cloud saves ...me i keep that setting off so i can make my own backups of the saves on my PC on a thumb drive
see this post on Steam and thank the author if it helps your issue
