Since UPLAY downloaded and applied the patch today, for some strange reason; when I get to level 8 karma, I can no longer manually save the progress nor does the game automatically save the progress for me. When I manually save the game, the main menu just freezes.
However, if I remain on level 7 karma. I can manually save and the game saves my progress automatically at the usual points. Read some people having issues loading their save games after applying patch 1.6.0. This could be an related issue as they could have had level 8 karma on their save game progress and thus there maybe a problem with patch 1.6.0 having issues with level 8 karma.
Tried various things, none of which works:
1) Ran UPLAY verify files, came back ok.
2) Uninstalled and re-downloaded and installed FC4
3) Ran FarCry4.exe in administrator mode
Anyone else having similar issues above?
Hi andwan_, sadly I have no solution to this problem but I am posting all the same to ensure you that you're not alone on this.
Attempting to manually save the game causes the menu to freeze, although sound continues and the background continues to animate.
On top of this, completing any auto-save condition will result in a black screen with sound upon attempting a transition. For example, finishing a race will cause a black screen crash, as does blowing myself up following the successful hostage rescue I'm stuck at.
I'm attempting a re-install to see if that works for me. If not then all that's left to do is wait until someone finds a fix or the patch gets patched.
Same issue here. Every time it tries to progress the story, the game autosaves and the game crashes.
It is functionally unplayable since almost every achievement in the game is followed by an autosave. And even if you could turn it off, who wants to play the game when no progress can be saved.
Ubisoft, this is unacceptable.
Edit: Attempted verify files with no success.
Same, was able to liberate an outpost, do a race and hack a tower ok, but now that I have finished a surival mission the game hangs every time when trying to save. Good job testing, not. The briliiant decision to only give us a single save slot really shines here, too. Can't even play around with a new game until or if you manage to fix this mess. BTW, are all your support people sick or on strike? Or why else has my ticket been unanswered for 10 days? Estimated response within 72 hours, my arse...
As andwan_ points out, this problem seems to be linked to karma level. As frustrating as the situation is, we're more likely to find a solution by figuring out where things are going wrong - as in, what we all have in common in our games - than by raging at the developers. Make no mistake, this shouldn't be happening, but since it has then the best way forward is to find out what's gone wrong if we can.
So - are you all on max/level 8 Karma in your games?
Edit: @jtacchetti: sadly running over civs gets you killed, which will crash the game
I'm in the same boat. By coincidence my last save happened just before reaching karma level 8, so right after I do anything to gain karma, poof, game crashes on the next attempt to save. Thank you for making a perfectly playable game unplayable.
Edit: Is there any way to roll back the patch to 1.5.0? I'll take the memory leaks if the game is still playable.
