Where Are Far Cry 3 Save Files Located?
Far Cry 3 saves through Ubisoft Connect, config in Documents. The savegames ID folder plus GamerProfile.
Last updated
Far Cry 3 stores saves in the Ubisoft Connect tree at savegames/<user-id>/46, where 46 is the game's product number. Three profiles fit, each with one autosave and one manual checkpoint. Cloud sync mirrors the folder when it behaves.
Settings live apart in Documents\My Games\Far Cry 3\GamerProfile.xml with keybinds in %LOCALAPPDATA%\My Games\Far Cry 3\InputUserActionMap.xml. Editing graphics by hand then playing resets custom resolutions, so keep a copy of a working GamerProfile before experimenting.
Where Far Cry 3 stores this, by platform
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames
Saves under <user-id>\46 inside. Config twin in Documents\My Games\Far Cry 3. The launcher path varies by install, so open it from the client rather than typing Program Files blind.
Frequently asked questions
how do i back up far cry 3 saves
Copy the 46 folder for your user ID out of savegames, plus GamerProfile.xml from Documents. Restore both halves; saves without the profile still load but lose your settings.
far cry 3 custom resolution keeps resetting, why
In game graphics changes rewrite GamerProfile.xml back to 800x600. Edit the file while the game is closed and mark it read only, accepting that later tweaks need the flag cleared.
