Report: Far Cry 4 PC patch 1.6.0 introduces major save glitch [Update]

Reports on Far Cry 4's forums and our own Chatty community indicate that the latest PC patch for Far Cry 4 has introduced a major save bug. If your character is at Karma 8, you are advised to proceed no further. (Update: A fix is incoming.)

Update: Ubisoft would rather not be known as the ones that ruined Christmas for PC users, so a post on the Far Cry 4 forums notes that a hotfix is incoming and should be deployed shorly. Thanks to FirstPersonCooter for the tip.

Original story: Ubisoft recently released a new patch for Far Cry 4 on PC. Unfortunately, PC patch 1.6.0 seems to have introduced some major bugs that are not allowing players to save their progress.

Users on both the Far Cry 4 forums and our own Chatty community have observed that the crash occurs when your character is at Karma level 8. Upon reaching this level, autosave will not function and attempting to save manually will lead to a freeze.

It's an unfortunate lump of coal for Far Cry 4 players right before Christmas. Shacknews will monitor this situation and update this post as soon as there are any updates.

The full patch notes from the game's Steam Announcements page are as follows:

  • Added hotkey for toggling the HUD on/off (F11)
  • Fixed an issue when the game loaded incorrect save from Uplay Cloud
  • Fixed an issue with performance drop for Crossfire Multi-GPU
  • Fixed an issue with broken shadows in the northern region
  • Fixed various Controls issues
  • Fixed various Graphic issues
  • Fixed various IGE issues
  • Fixed various UI issues
  • Fixed various Uplay/Steam issues
  • Memory usage reduced

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
