This is why I don't have many friends

So for the past few days, whenever I play Far Cry 2 on our PS3 and die my rescue buddy shows up….drags me off a ways, and then proceeds to kill me until I die from it. Also earlier today when a buddy got wounded during a mission (not a rescue buddy) the only option I had was to pump a round into her head even though I had syrettes.
Turns out this bug seems to have been out there for a while, and only happens after you beat the game and play it for the second time. Even though you are using a different save and character.
******Spoiler******
There is a point in the game where you will do battle with some buddies, and apparently the programmers used a global parameter to store how a buddy acts towards you (aggressive vs. assistive). So by doing battle with the buddies near the end of the game, for the rest of gameplay….EVEN with a new save file and character…the buddy considers you a traitor and will open up a can of whoop ass even after saving you.

So there ya have it…kind of a crappy bug to run into. I’m gonig to try erasing all my saves except for one (the one for the new character) in hopes this will clear the problem. Otherwise I think the only thing to do is wipe them all and start over again. Especially since Ubisoft doesn’t seem to have any clue as to how to fix this
