So you need Uplay to play the game? Bummer :/
They only released the 1.6 patch on uplay, and now addressed a hotfix for it.
And the patch is still not available on steam

Sucks to see so many people having problems. I bought this on GMG (Uplay version) last night and played for a bit. It runs like a dream with just about everything maxed out (just SMAA, though) and I didn't have any technical problems in my short time with it.
That opening movie, though... ugh. Low-res and tearing galore.

They released a hotfix for issues that were brought in with the 1.6 patch (uplay only)
The game seems ok now, im talking about saving/crashing when reaching level 8 karma
Or maybe not...
"Hi
After the little Patch from Today the Saving works now.
But now i´ve got Problems with my Mousebuttons (Not Mousebuttons 1+2)
The Sidebuttons won´t work since the last 39MB patch
Mouse is a Logitech G5 Laser
Yesterday the Mouse works fine...and in other Games its All OK
So please Fix this Mousebutton Problem"
lol
All my mouse buttons still work just fine here this afternoon.
Played for 2 hours today, not a single problem with the exception of the fps drops when driving around. Everytime I see a car or any kind of vehicle that is faster than the "sprint" of the player i'm like ... errmm... no thanks....
Fascinated about the effect of fps lag on the human mind lol

anyone else feel like the game moves a bit janky/stuttery? I mean the framerate is fine but it doesnt feel very "smooth" when running
The issue is there ever since day1, I lost hope for having that fixed.

Perhaps a stupid question but ill ask it anyway, but first, some background.
I purchased the game on release, played it for about 3 hours, liked it but got distracted by DA:I
I had been sure to update the game with patches but didn't actually play again.
After downloading the patch that messed up the saves (i know there is a subsequent Uplay patch to fix that) i gave the game ago and noticed i was having frequent micro stutters. Things will be fine and them it just freezes for a second or two then starts again. This was happening pretty often when moving around. Is this normal? (normal for an Ubi game i mean).
I'm also on the latest Nvidia beta drivers (the ones for imrpovmenrs for Elite i beleive).
I'm playing on:
780Ti Classi
4770k @4.4
16gb 2400mhz RAM
1440p G-Sync ROG Swift

1.6 hit steam. txaa and pcss are both still broken.
Yeah well, so much for that. 1.6 Game crashed after 40min with whitescreen and even took my browser with it. It's so frustrating... I'd really enjoy the game if I didn't have to save every 5min because I fear a crash...
Might give in soon and wait until I get myself a PS4 next year to play it...

I have a similar setup and I run it on ultra with everything maxed out (even the special NVIDIA features) locked at 30fps without too much problems.
You need to do the mimap fix to get rid of the stutering though...but that's just a prereq for everybody no matter what hardware you use.

This is exactly my setup, and exactly the issue I'm having. Blehhhhh. So discouraging.

It *sort of* helped when I moved the game to an SSD and also turned all the graphics down to "0. no graphics. none graphics." But like... our rigs are well above the minimum AND recommended specs for the game. Inexcusable.

Well that's a shame
Huh, yeah I'm on a 970 MSI. Will try to under clock it a bit tonight, thanks.

In RTSS, try adding FarCry4.exe as its own profile and then enabling Custom Direct3D Support.
Pro-tip for pubs that want to be progressive, reduce bugs, reduce costs, lessen customers' anger:
A game you make goes gold a month or so before release. At that point go to Steam, launch Early Access, choose hundreds of people based on their machines, have them sign NDA's and start squashing these bugs and compatibility issues right away. Now that you launch the game proper you're less likely to experience severe bugs, the impression the game makes is far more favorable and the dev team doesn't have to push out patches and hotfixes under the gun, stressing about the customers who are fuming about how the shape of the games or how it runs for them.

That's a very good idea.
Thanks but looks like the game crash on boot if I enable Custom Direct3D support.
You want to use the in-game overlay ? FPS/CLOCK/MEMORY and so on .. ?
If you either want OC or ingame overlay, use MSI Afterburner.

sooo, any ideas how it would run on my pc? would the high-setting be possible?
intel i5 3450
8gb ram
radeon hd 7870

I use riva tuner for fps capping and fps display. That works well except for the fact that when Riva Tuner is running I can't get the UPlay overlay going in game which means I can't use the coop feature.
Crank PostFX down to low. Most demanding setting in my experience and is just crappy motion blur. Update drivers and all that too.
I'm on a AMD 1100T and GTX 680 and running better than that.

I've been playing for awhile yesterday. The game runs pretty well anytime I'm on foot but driving fast land vehicles causes the annoying stutter. I'm tolerating it but it would be great if the stuttering would be addressed. I don't have high hopes at this point.

Damn. Maybe try toggling "Enable 64-bit applications support service" under the Settings menu. Otherwise, I don't know how to help, sorry.
With the 1.6 patch I don't find the game all that bad. Of course, this is with a pretty good system (game running off SSD, GTX 970 SLI). I use SweetFX (via bolotaur injector) to get working SMAA on SLI and improve the contrast a bit. Motion blur is off because I can't stand that shit. No crashes so far even with an overclocked CPU and GPU.
Overall the game now runs quite nicely for me, the only issue is occasional flash in environment here and there and obviously the broken AA and PCSS. I did delete/move the .xml files before playing 1.5 I think so that might be something that helps.
When I was still running GTX 770 (SLI) I felt that Very high textures was the best setting for that card, felt much smoother with that. The card should run the game fine in any case. For those having problems, try reinstalling your drivers after cleaning them with Display Driver Uninstaller.

The ship was abandoned long time ago by crappysoft, the issue is there since day1 and it hasn't gotten better in all this time.
I'm also encountering massive fps drops when using the glider and when driving as everyone said, but all those issues disappear once I crank up the mipmap to 1 ( the textures are shitty tho )
I mean, I've waited almost 2 months for this to get fixed (fps drops) and it's still there, I guess I'll just have to use the damn mipmap setting
Yeah should be playable at High settings. Maybe with couple of settings at Medium if your wanting to get close to 60FPS at 1080p. Keep in mind that the game isn't well optimised for AMD GPU's.
I've got a HD 7970 and the Omega Drivers from AMD and I'm running it at all Very-High/High and it's quite smooth but still stutters a little.

Wish I sold my code now instead of redeeming it so quickly.

Thanks Calmine!
I just moved the game to a new hard disk I got for Christmas and it updated with a patch (hadn't played in a little while / UPlay version). The game runs really smoothly for me now. I only played for about 15min so I don't know about prolonged play, but it felt a lot better.
I've been having a pretty pleasant experience with this game even from the beginning.. although I did prefer the enhanced god rays from the earlier versions over the last couple of patches.

I am guessing 1.6 was pulled? I would like to try it out since I have not been able to manually save since I installed the initial 1.4 patch before it was pulled. Twice now I have lost 2+ hours of progress because I didn't happen to do a main story mission, which is the only way for me to save my progress.
Your welcome, although I personally should of gone for the PS4 version haha. This game isn't at all optimised. None the less the more recent patches have improved it for me.
1.6+Hotfix now available on uplay and steam, it updates automatically.

id go with a console version if at all possible
Have you enabled triple buffering ? It could help with the drops.
So I'm still on 1.01... I'm fine playing offline since I'm not interested in MP and none of friends have it yet for co-op. It runs perfectly fine to me, so I'm guessing I should just continue offline and not update? I generally get pretty good performance with a 2500k and 970 and I have no major complaints.
