I think the simplest way to prevent Uplay from uninstalling your Uplay games is to rename "Ubisoft" folder where the games are installed to something like "_Ubisoft_", and to create another empty "Ubisoft" folder in the same directory. If anyone is wondering, here are the details of completely uninstalling and reinstalling Uplay:īefore uninstalling I backup-ed two sub folders in "Ubisoft game launcher" folder - "cache" and "savegames" (actually, in process of uninstalling, he asks whether to leave "savegames" folder, but it’s better to be safe ).Īt start he warned that "some Uplay games will be uninstalled too", but since all my Ubi games are in Steam, they weren't touched. I will have to test it – I have a backup-ed save just before the ending…īut at least now I have my other Far Cry 4 achievements and no pop-up messages… I’m afraid, if I start playing Yetis DLC again, the same error will occur when I complete some achievement, most of the chances when I finish the last mission (ending). I think something is very wrong with registering Yeti’s achievements in Steam version of the game, which at some point triggers the Uplay error when all your Far Cry 4 achievements disappear. I mean, no Yeti’s achievements at ALL – completed or non-completed… OK, I took the risk and uninstalled/reinstalled Uplay.įar Cry 4 achievements ARE BACK, and NO MORE “Failed to synchronize Achievements” pop-up messages, it syncs the achievements just fine!īut guess what – still NO Yetis DLC achievements present in the list! Why the hell they had older installation file 3 days ago? And why the hell I don’t see my FC4 achievements with any of Uplay versions? It was different in size from the installer I downloaded at March 17th, and when I repeated the removal of version.txt file and reinstalling using the new installation file, it was again the version from March 5th, and version.txt said 3929… And still no FC4 achievements… I went to and downloaded Uplay installer again. When it opened – still no FC4 achievements… But when I opened the release notes, I saw that it was the version from Feb 17th, and not the March 5th, and the number in version.txt file was 3914 and not the 3929 as it was before…

When it finished installing and started to load, it tried to update itself but stopped.
#Far cry 4 achievements install#
So I removed version.txt file from "Ubisoft Game Launcher" directory, then I could install Uplay from the file I downloaded at March 17th. Yesterday I used the trick one of the ubi moderators suggested month ago when they messed up with Uplay update:
#Far cry 4 achievements download#
Three days ago I tried to download Uplay from main Ubi site and install it on top of my existing installation too, but it aborted the installation, saying I have more recent version. Earlier videos of the ending were found by GameSpot and Kotaku but they've been taken down.WID, don't forget you installed older version of Uplay on top of existing installation. This video was captured by YouTube's imperfectplayers. As for spoilers, it's probably just going to confirm what you already suspected after that opening sequence.Īnyway that's it.

There's even a Press X to Pay Respects (although not using exactly those words) moment that is hilariously coincidental. Skip to 10:20 of the above video to see what happens. However, if you do stick around to "enjoy the crab rangoon," or whatever, for at least 10 minutes, Min returns. After going through all of this, most people would seek to escape rather than hang around with someone who has murdered one of his own soldiers, and is now going to torture the shit out of your companion. You're taken captive and sit down at a meal with Min. That leads him into the hands of Pagan Min, the Kyrati dictator who in a bloody civil conflict with the Golden Path, the rebel group Ghale/you will join. The player portrays Ajay Ghale, who has returned to Kyrat with his mother's ashes to inter them with the cremains of his sister.

We'll embed the video here and then start the description of what's going on after that, to give those who ignored the spoiler alert above a final chance to bail out. Ubisoft Montreal included a delightful little alternate ending for those who are a little more. No, not a speedrunner, just some observant types who, rather than trying to escape in the game's opening sequence, simply wait around for madman Pagan Min to return. So the headline was changed after publication.įar Cry 4 isn't even out yet and someone's already completed it in 15 minutes.

Including the 10 or so minutes of preamble, it's more like a 20 to 25 minute path to completion. Update: The original headline miscalculated the time it would actually take to finish the game. Warning: There are spoilers in both this video and the story.
