I set off the nuke and got dumped wherever it is you land next, and promptly died (took me too long to find the gun when the trigent thing was charging me). When it dumped me back to the main menu all my saved games were gone!

What caused this, and does anyone have a saved game file near that point?

Wow, that really sucks man! Are you sure the game did not accidentally select another profile?

Check here: ...\Far Cry\Profiles\player for any profiles, and see if you can find any save games.

I've finished the game; if you like I can send you a save game. I'm not sure however, where exactly in the game you are.

You need to have created a profile in order for the saves to work.

If you DID create a profile, it can also be a little misleading if this is the first time you are going back in on a save. You need to highlight the part of the game listed, then it will show you the saves.

If you've done all that and it's still not there, try posting in the official UBI forum. For the most part people there are helpful.
