Can we get a Far Cry Map Editor section, to keep Map Editor-related discussions in one spot?

Maybe even 2 sections: one "Map Editor Support" for map making tips & tricks & support, and one "Published Community Maps" for showcasing them and playthroughs?

*edit*
Also, weird thing... I wasn't able to post in any of the (legacy) Far Cry Series boards at all. Maybe that explains why there isn't much content in here... yet.

I previously helped report an issue on the Xbox side of things that seems to be related to the Far Cry Arcade website. ( https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/138490/facing-endless-loading-on-far-cry-arcade-website-when-adding-on-favorite/24?lang=en-US )


Aside from this issue (or perhaps related) is the fact that all xboxone players are unable to publish (updates to their preexisting) maps due to a "Redhorn-7800018" error.

I guess Redhorn errors point to issues with the online map storage services rather than the G2W Arcade website, so I figure I make a separate post about this here..

@iizz-remiix-zzi It looks like the map was already ported to PC? So only the Xbox port would remain...

Steve64b's MapSwapper project:

Bring Far Cry Arcade maps to other platforms!

(continued from the old forums: (https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/1935089-Steve64b-s-MapSwapper-project-port-your-maps-to-other-platforms!)...)

INSTRUCTIONS:

• To request that someone else ports a map to another platform, you can post the Arcade website link to your map as a reply to this discussion.
  • To PC, maps will primarily be ported by Steve64b and predatorback.
  • To PS4/XONE, Fallen_Champ may occasionally port maps.
  • Maps ported by Steve64b or Fallen_Champ are published on each target platform by the "MapSwapper", "MapSwapper2" or "MapSwapper3" creator.
  • When other creators port maps, they will be published under their own creatorname.
  • A list of all ported maps is available at this link, provided that the creator kept the original map thumbnail.
• You can also port a map to your platform yourself. Note that this process is somewhat technical to set up (console users need access to a basic Windows PC/laptop to run a MapSwapper tool, and change their console's network settings). If you want to get started with porting maps, log in to the MapSwapper frontend with username "MapSwapper" and any password. You'll find further instructions there.

RULES AND KNOWN ISSUES:

• MapSwapper is experimental. Due to budget and editor differences, some maps may not be portable to other platforms, or end up behaving differently. Details are sketchy, but in general:
  • Console to PC will go just fine.
  • PC to console works ONLY when maps aren't overbudget, don't exceed 7000 objects AND don't use any modded assets from PC editormods.
• Ported maps may end up in the "Workshop" category.

MAPS PUBLISHED ALREADY:

See here for a list of maps published by the MapSwapper creator.

TECHNICAL SPECS:

Big thanks to Fallen_Champ and SETHO-1 for helping me test the MapSwapper!

@chris2a2a Maybe try deleting the xml files in your Documents\My Games\Far Cry 6 folder will help?

With the Far Cry 3 servers apparently shutting down on October 1 2022 now, it could make sense to do a quality of life update that removes the server connection from the game and removes the need for PunkBuster.

@reaby I'm also annoyed that links don't work. As-is now, they clutter posts that use them (i.e. https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/119929/far-cry-5-arcade-porting-maps-to-other-systems-using-mapswapper/61?page=4 ) , making the forum very unfriendly.

@one-iq If the game can't be started, it's most likely a security thing. Have you tried running Ubisoft Connect/Far Cry3 with Administrator privileges?

Maybe there are some troubleshooting tips at https://steve.farcry.eu: (https://steve.farcry.eu)

Reinstalling the game probably doesn't reset the game settings. To do that, delete the file %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 6\GamerProfile.xml

For anyone encountering the same issue, I compiled some tips on reducing mapsize at https://list.farcry.info/?path=MAPSIZE: (https://list.farcry.info/?path=MAPSIZE)

0xc0000005

I think error code 0xc0000005 happens when the application can't access something. I'm thinking it's a permission issue of either the Far Cry 3 install folder (i.e. "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Far Cry 3"), the Far Cry 3 savegame folder (i.e. "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\{YOUR_UPLAY_ID}\farcry3_game_id"), or the Far Cry 3 Documents folder at "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 3". In the latter case, deleting the GamerProfile.xml file should reset the game to factory settings.

However, if that file doesn't exist, then chances are some security suite is blocking access to that folder. You may need to add Far Cry 3.exe to the exceptions of Windows Controlled Folder settings.

@paparoup Far Cry 6's update schema differs from the previous games. In Far Cry 5, most updates were written to a specific patch.fat file, but Far Cry 6 instead needs to update the other (big) data files themselves. It does so by downloading the new data to a temporary download folder & when that's complete, moves it over any already installed files.

So, "deleting old game files" would include any Far Cry 6 files (specifically from the Far Cry 6\data_final folder) that will be overwritten by the new patch anyway.

@arrow7000 I compiled a list of troubleshooting steps on https://steve.farcry.eu/: (https://steve.farcry.eu) , maybe try them.

Could you try running the game on the lowest graphical settings, try fullscreen or windowed? If the issue disappears, increase the graphic settings until the issue reappears & we might know what's causing it.

Also, maybe your DPI is set too high, see https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/help/connectivity-and-performance/article/changing-your-monitors-dpi/000065536

Could you check if this also happens when playing a random new singleplayer map? If so, the issue would be related to the map cache storage. If not, the issue would probably be related to PvP multiplayer/matchmaking.
