If you want to play a high-quality shooter with large locations for research, an exciting plot and a stunning visual implementation, then you should definitely pay attention to Far Cry 3. This project really stands out from other shooters, as it offers you those impressions that it cannot yet give no other game of this genre. However, you should pay attention to the fact that even this project has certain problems that you may encounter. Naturally, many players never have any difficulties either on licenses or on pirates, but there is still a chance of a problem. Its essence lies in the fact that the save you made before that disappears from the game. For example, you went through a part of the game, saved, left, and when you decided to continue - went into the game, and there are no saveings at all, and you need to start all over again. So, if your Far Cry 3 is not saved, you need to carry out a certain set of actions.
Change repack or reinstall
It is immediately worth noting that Far Cry 3 is not saved both on licensed versions of the game and on pirates - the problem does not depend on this. Therefore, it is worth writing the first step of your actions separately for two types of games. So, if you own a licensed copy, then you better reinstall, and if you downloaded Far Cry 3 through Steam, then it is best to start by checking the integrity of the cache. This can give certain results, but no one will promise you a hundred percent of the effectiveness. But what if you have a pirate? In this case, you better try downloading a few other repacks, as the problem may lie either in the version of the game itself or in some conflict with your computer. Thus, you better check out 2-3 versions of the game from torrents before taking on other options to solve the problem that Far Cry 3 is not saved.
File path and account name
Many gamers have already encountered a wide variety of problems caused by the fact that there are folders containing Russian letters in the name on the way to the game. This, unfortunately, is unacceptable in many recent projects, and that is why your version of Far Cry 3 is not saved. Carefully review the entire path to your game files, the names of all folders, correct the Russian letters wherever you find them. After that, pay attention to exactly how your operating system account is named. If it is in Russian, you will have to change the name for it too, and it will be much more convenient if your entry does not have administrator rights. As you can already understand, in Far Cry 3 cheats will not help you solve this problem, so you have to cope on your own.
Run as administrator
If the previous methods did not help you, then you should go to other options for resuming the save function in Far Cry 3. Cheats will allow you to go through the game without taking damage, with infinite ammunition, but this option is not too reasonable, since the game lasts about thirty hours, so you have to sit in the game for a whole day until you finish it. This is unlikely to give you much pleasure, so it’s better to try changing the game’s launch options. If you have created a shortcut on your desktop, do not try to enter the game using the standard method. Better right-click on the shortcut and go to its properties. There you can select the option "Run as administrator" - make it active. Now you can run the game with elevated rights that will allow it to save. This method is much more effective than if you open the game every time by right-clicking and selecting “Run as administrator” - this method allows you to start the game normally only once, and then the problem may return. So, you made sure that not a single word is written in Russian on the way to Far Cry 3, that the game starts with administrator rights, so now everything should work just fine. If this does not happen, you will have to try a little more.
Disabling third-party programs
Some programs, for unexplained reasons, may interfere with the normal recording of saves in this game. Therefore, when you are going to run Far Cry 3, you better turn off all third-party and background programs. This will eliminate the likelihood of this problem, and also increase the number of resources that are allocated directly to the game itself.
Download Saves
If it is not possible to solve this problem with any of the above methods, then you better not waste your time and download ready-made saves with full passage from specialized sites. You can find both saves for specific missions, and for the game as a whole. Just remember that in Far Cry 3, add-on missions are not saved as such, so they are not part of the problem - you just need to go through them at a time - at least in pirated copies this is the case.
