Far Cry 3 "bricked".

[QuantumPion]

So Far Cry 3 only lets you have one save file. The file gets loaded on the ubisoft cloud. So does anyone know how to fix it when your save gets corrupted? When I try to launch the game it crashes immediately. There seems to be no way to revert or delete the cloud or local save. I already tried reinstalling the game. I can't change accounts because the game is registered to my account. Did the game crashing on me just cause the game itself to "brick"?

Contact Ubisoft support?

I thought when the saves were out of sync, it asked which one you want to use. So maybe move your local save and then launch the game. I could be thinking of a different game though.

Haven't had any solution as of yet, ubisoft has been no help whatsoever. I will never buy another ubisoft game, this is absurd.

I never had a problem with it.

I've played FC3 multiple times, and with multiple mods....

Just install Ziggys Mod and start over...

I can't start over. I can't launch the game because the cloud data is corrupted. Disabling the cloud options doesn't even work.

Can you launch uplay; disable online or cloud data and then launch farcry ?

Can you just start a new game? Apparently you cant, but I dont see how corrupted save data could prevent starting a new game. Maybe the client or game itself are corrupted. Have you tried uninstalling U-Play and the game itself and reinstalling them?

I had the same problem with Steam cloud saves. Even though I said to use the local save, it somehow loaded the cloud save and cost me hours of progress. Even though I had backup saves on a local disk, I could never load them, even if Steam was offline. Cloud saves sound like a great idea, but in practice, I think they cause more problem than good.

This suggestion sounds like it will wipe out all your saved game data, but it might fix your issue.

I just Disable the Saves synchronization and then,
Deleted the local savegames,
folder location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\XXXXXXXXXXXXX\46
XXXXXXXXXXX is something long spelling - might be user dependent, or might not be.
All save data gone but started to work correctly.
Just re-started a new game, but there might be right process to keep the old savedata and recover...
Anyway, just for your information.
