Far Cry 4 - *insert witty subtitle here*

[retardation]

unskippable cutscenes are pissing me the fuck off.

You can't skip art.

 

[Metro]

You get what you deserve playing this poop.

 

[Surf Solar]

I will never play this, but the alternative ending is kinda nice I gotta say

 

[Utgard-Loki]

i5 4670k, 760gtx and 8gb here.

frames sub 50 on high with smaa. the fov makes me sick and the mouse movement is atrocious. another flawless release by ubisoft.

The only good games ubi releases are platformers.

not sure what's wrong on your end, I'm getting 55-60fps on very high with an overclocked i5 3570k (4.2ghz) and a 770gtx, your numbers should be similar. FOV is adjustable. Did you install the 1.03 patch?

To fix the mouse movement, you need to edit the config file (some xml file, I think), and change all mouse-smoothing options from 1 to 0.

Seems to work for some (though I'm skeptical on that, I think a lot of people who don't play FPSes a lot are just falling for placebo effect), doesn't work for others. I've tried everything from xml edits to ingame options to even modding tricks from FC3 (replacing common.dat) to fix the mouse problems, but massive mouse accel and mouse decel is still there. I don't mind accel horribly much, but negative acceleration makes the game borderline unplayable for me.

 

[MicoSelva]

Well, I have not checked myself, but my source is a guy, who plays a lot of FPS games, and is pretty sensitive to stuff like FoV and mouse acceleration.

Various versions of the mouse accel toggle seem to work for some people, but don't for others. Not sure why that would be, but it seems to be a thing.

Is this game as buggy and microtransaction infested as AssCreed Unity, or is it playable?

 

[Zewp]

No idea why, but this game is practically unplayable for me. It runs fine, 60FPS on med-high settings when I'm walking around, but once I start travelling in vehicles or running long distances it starts lagging so bad I get about 10m done in a minute. It's almost like it's struggling to lead the new areas.

Another great game by Ubisoft.

They're fast approaching EA levels of shittiness. Fucking frenchies.

It runs a lot better than Unity, and it's pretty playable - however it's still Far Cry 3 with some extra stuff thrown in. All of the negatives for that game still apply. It's fun for 5 minutes at a time when you feel like popping some moles in a stronghold, and it does look very pretty, but that's really about it.

That sounds like a vram issue - do you have a 2gb card? if so, try dialing down the texture quality and see if it helps.

Texture use is 1.5-2GB from Medium - Ultra without taxing AA use. You really shouldn't be seeing Vram stuttering from High textures. And this problem has been reported by pretty much everyone playing FC4, even people with absurd rigs with 4GB vid memory.

You can anyway dismiss this as a possibility by switching to Low textures and driving around in a vehicle. I guarantee those experiencing stutters will still experience them.

 

[Zewp]

I feel like a bit of a dumbfuck, but he's right. I didn't expect textures to be so intense so I didn't bother testing them, but I dropped them from High to Medium and the issue pretty much disappeared.

I've got a HD7850 and granted it's a 2011 card, but it doesn't sit quite right with me. I can play Far Cry 3 on Ultra with no issues so it really feels like I should be able to play this significantly higher. Especially annoying is that the game runs perfectly on High textures as long as I don't start travelling long distances fast.

 

[Raghar]

Well when people were saying 1 GB is enough, and I was saying any new GFX card should have at least 2 GB, I was right. Looks like the era with 4 6 and 8 GB cards came. Considering PS4 has 6 GB for GFX, it's no surprise.
Are you running PCI-E 2.0, or 3.0? Do you have SLI board?

I actually feel like a dumbfuck for not getting the 3gb version of the 770 when I bought it back in April - a mighty 20$ savings! The card is serviceable still, and I can't say I care a lot about the popamole shit that demands that kind of ram usage, but still the trend arrived sooner than I expected.

It's called shit optimization. The game isn't anymore technologically advanced than Fag Cry 3. Unless you're playing at 4k resolution then 2 GB of Vram is more than adequate. Also I doubt most of you have disabled the awful post processing they cram into these games that both: 1) make the game run worse, and 2) make the game look worse.

This. It's not a hardware issue. TB talked about it in his port report. His video card wasn't using anywhere near his total vram, so it's definitely not that.

 

[Great Deceiver]

After some more tweaking, it helped to set max frames to render ahead to 3 at the driver level. Most of the stuttering when driving is gone now.

Port report from TotalBiscuit:

Not that the patched game has a proper FOV slider... or at least that's what I read online.

It does (after the 1.2 patch), as seen in the video I posted above.

EDIT: I like that the article quotes TotalBicuit's tweet from 15th of November (before the patch was issued) as a confirmation that 'pirates' complain about the lack of the slider. Sweet, sweet gaming journalism.

 

[Zeriel]

BTW, that mipmap option forces all textures to be on low, that's why performance is so much better, the texture setting then does nothing.

It's probably still a texture streaming problem rather than a shortcoming of hardware, though, the game is recommending texture settings (it wanted me to put everything on High/Very High/Ultra) it can't deliver on.
