How to transfer your Far Cry 3 save to a new PC
- On the old PC, press Win+R, paste C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<UbisoftID>\46, and press Enter to open the save folder.
- Copy the entire save folder (all files inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<UbisoftID>\46).
- Copy those files to a USB drive, cloud folder (OneDrive/Google Drive), or network share.
- Install Far Cry 3 on the new PC and launch it once, then close it — this creates the empty save folder.
- Open the same path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<UbisoftID>\46) on the new PC and paste your copied files in, overwriting if asked.
- Launch the game and confirm your progress loaded before deleting the backup copy.
Does cloud sync move it for you?
Far Cry 3 syncs through Ubisoft Connect cloud even on the Steam build (the game runs through Ubisoft's launcher). Let the cloud finish syncing before copying, and after restoring turn cloud sync OFF until you've confirmed the right save, or a later sync can overwrite your restore.
Common mistakes
- The <UbisoftID> folder is a long account-specific string, and 46 is the Far Cry 3 game id — copy the whole \46 subfolder, not the launcher root.
- Your gameprofile.xml lives separately in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 3 — copy it too if your options/profile don't carry over.
