Farcry3 Game save Location.

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games/Far Cry 3 (Win7) or /My Documents/My Games/Far Cry 3 (for Win XP)

Or

Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames folder - This is my bet where they get stored I have couple in there from time I last played.

Or

C:\ProgramData\Orbit\46\

I'm a naughty boy. I've spent the past 5 hours telling myself I can't buy it and I've just gone and done exactly that!

Despite my thread yesterday about having fibre optic internet and missing out on "the wait" before getting a game, I couldn't get it quick enough tonight. 20 minutes and it'll all be mine

I can really see the merit in this game.
But open world games really do my head in:/

So why post?

There are just too many small things ruining my enjoyment of this game tbh....I play it for a bit and they build up until I just quit in frustration, and then a bit later I feel like playing it again.

Pretty ****** up that you can't even play a single player game without being connected to the Internet with some kind of crap interface!

Umm, yes, you can. With a crack... I use it to bypass the annoying Ubisoft DRM. No regrets since I own the game anyway.

any advice on what settings to go with a setup such as i5 2500k oc to 4.4ghz
2x 670s
8gb ram

I want the best settings as possible but a high fps

You'll need to put it on low settings. You might get 30fps on medium if you're lucky.

I think it's normal with sandbox games.

You don't even need to be online anyway do you? ...I was not connected to the interent earlier on, started FC3 and Uplay popped up asking if I wanted to start in offline mode.

Yes, you can disable the Uplay overlay and launch the game in offline mode. I still prefer not having to have it running in the background, but the DRM is not as annoying as it used to be.

How do you show the fps?

FRAPS, Afterburner, or if you want it always on, enable it in GamerProfile.xml in Documents/My Games/Far Cry 3.

Pighardia · 1 Dec 2012 at 18:50

Thats it...another QTE you can't fail. I'm out.

I'll try it again in a few days

Blatantly... :rolleyes:

You should be able to max it really... play around with the settings and see what works?

Nope, you're gonna have to play in Dx9 mode.

exactly.. you don't need an internet connection to play the game, besides from registration of your key.

Pighardia · 1 Dec 2012 at 19:06

....and I'm playing it again!

I was just enquring is there anything else I need to do to get better fps without diminishing the graphics by much

When someone with SLI 670s and deep pockets asks for graphics advice you have to expect a bit of urine extraction. It's compulsory.

churchhawk · 1 Dec 2012 at 19:28

Game is OK, its no 10/10 though.

It gets boring fast, the AI is terrible, and it just feels old to me with nothing new.

Even the graphics are nothing special, plus it has a few performance problems.

Overall 7/10

yea i know, just keep an eye on this thread for the next week before making your mind up..... dont buy yet

because it's impossible to tell right now, because games only become boring after a few days.....i.e Far cry 2 was ok for the 1st week as well :cool:
