    Another Senior Moment or ....

    Based on the recommendations of some of the chaps on here I am very keep to get my hands a certain LMG that needs 17 towers to be liberated before it becomes available. So having broken into the North I thought I'd make my first priority to get a Buzzer and go and sort out the rest of the towers. This evening I took the final one, at least I think its the final one. All the Tower icons are a nice friendly white in colour and there is not a cloudy part of Kyrat left on the map. The problem is the game says I have only liberated 16 out of 17 towers.

    Now, it could be that I am having another senior moment and there is in fact another tower left to go and I just can't see it or it maybe that, for whatever reason, the game has failed to credit me with one tower, though the map does seem to show them all liberated. Its a bit of a bugger either way. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    There are a number of reasons why this occurs, but no one knows for sure why. First it's odd but when you download a patch like 1.6 sometimes it conflicts with the previous information stored. In my case, I bought the game (pre-order) came home and being the man-child I am i wanted to start playing it at midnight on november 18th, so i spent 1.5 hours downloading the discs and verified with Uplay to get permission, (ha ha) and it said ooh there's an update. Knowing how lame UBI and others are I figured the PC would be left to last to correct and said oh well, and then the bad news.....it would be something like 20 GB and take almost 5 hours. I said forget it, Im playing now. So...I have it set to play offline and start in. 22 hours later Im almost done in the south and somehow I got the update loaded and then it hit me.....ALL MY OUTPOSTS AND TOWER WERE taken but the progress showed NONE were taken. Had to start a new game. SO .....any update can fail to record info correctly.

    Next you can try verifying the program files on UPLAY or STEAM, the uplay is here:

    VERIFY FILES this shows to verify game files from UPLAY :

    https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/60...0000000ee85CAA

    I would try that first.
    next.....sometimes the program resets itself when you shut down and restart FC4. It goes to the last mission accomplished or fort taken or tower taken and if something wasnt quite completed it wont credit it. Such as silly stuff like an assassination mission where you have leave the area, but you decide to fast travel back without physically running outside the map action area. Oh OH. no credit for completing the assination as you didn't follow the instruction to leave the area correctly.
