You should definitely update, especially if you're at 1.01.

Anyone found a complete fix for stuttering? Just updated to 1.6 and the stuttering is still there...

There's only 1, set the DisableLoadingMip0 to 1, be aware that it will bork the textures.
I'm still not seeing it on my uPlay copy? Just checked again and still on 1.5. Any way to force an update or patch it manually?
Happens to me about once an hour. Some times it's nice enough to crash like that and allow me to restart, other times, it'll do a hard lock forcing me to reset the PC.
When I was trying to apply the patch, I had to restart uplay and launch the game... and only then would it actually download the patch.
This latest patch really fucked over my game. The game was running perfect for me for the last month, near 60fps, no stutters, never had a crash.
Since the last time it updated with a patch I've gotten what feels like 1) lower fps and more importantly 2) Hard crashes and 3) Infinite loading crashes when fast traveling.
Really frustrating since I'm like 30 hours into the game now and for the first time the game is getting unreliable to play with constant crashing.

well I got this game with my gtx 970 and after playing an hour or so it just froze. I could still hear sounds and talk to my buddy on skype but my pc was completely unresoponsive. ctrl alt del and so on didn't work I had to pull the power and restart.
is this a common problem with far cry 4? is there a fix? I'm scared to launch the game again...

Every issue is common and can be reproduced pretty fast, the game is a bugfest

What gives with this game? It doesnt "feel right" when moving, like laggy.
I enabled both stutter fixes as well.
My Pc
8GB
Sapphire 7950 3GB (oc'd) Running the Omegas

What settings do you all recommend?

What your specs?
Yup, never had a single crash in 30+ hours until 1.6 and now I'm crashing all the time and the game is completely unstable. Fuck. I really like the game and WANT TO KEEP PLAYING IT, but I can't now. Any way to roll back patches? Or delete the game, re-install, don't update and keep the saves?
Yep, crashing here too after 1.6, when saving, finishing a mission or even when quitting the game, fc4exe is too next gen and cinametic and crashes
I think I know a way...
Enable triple buffering in the option menu.
This game has started crashing every half an hour for me. It's getting extremely frustrating t othe point of unplayable because I lose time so often. I get the sound stuck while the game crashes to a white, windowed screen. Any known fixes for this? I'm on a 970.
I tried that. Still does it. :/
That weird. Perhaps the option is bugged.
Try playing the game in borderless windowed mode.

Memory leak fixed. Stuttering seems universal.

Was hoping for a miracle
Exactly my problem. 970 too.

Is there any hope of this title being fixed? I have a GTX780 and I want to buy it but not if it's still broken.
Strangely, it works just fine for a lot of people.. but yeah, I can see why someone would worry. The only major trouble I've seen was once attempting to complete an 'outpost master' I got the black screen bug. This was ages ago, and my game hasn't crashed once since.

Very happy with my performance on R9 290. Apart from stuttering of course, which I can tolerate, as becoms a bigger problem only when driving at higher speeds. The fur tech is much less demanding than I anticipated and is not limited to NV.
Same for me (though 2x GTX 970). Some environment/shadow glitches remain but that's all. Played thru the game just fine.
No glitches here that ive noticed, guess issues still with SLI, if i have my fps/frame time counter enabled the fps do dip at certain points, but i cant really tell otherwise. And when i can tell its very minor and not very often. Played an hour yesterday without it bothering me at all.
I turned C states and Speedstep off so im at a constant 4.2Ghz on my i7 3770, that may have helped a little. Im running off a new 3TB HDD.
Been having troubles with SLI 680 setup after 1.6 update. Before, I could easily max the game out (no AA) @ 1440p but now, my frames dive when surrounded by trees. Newest drivers and even previous drivers don't help. Anyone else having issues? Also, when I walk into caves, my game begins to draw these white lines across the walls randomly and they disappear and reappear depending on the direction I'm looking in. AND although my GPU usage is 99%, my temperatures when playing have been significantly reduced. I feel like the game isn't utilizing enough GPU processing power.
This update is killing me...

This game is being offered as a free purchase with my new grpahics card, but I'm seeing a ton of people are having a lot of problems with this. Is it worth making the plunge or should I just sell the code and buy something else?

Can anyone with a similar build tell me how their game is running? I run it all maxed out with a 30FPS cap, just because the slight stutters and judders are less noticable than lower settings with 60FPS.
The main important specs are an i5 3570, GTX 780 OC 3GB and 8GB of DDR3. Anyone running a similar or slower system at 60FPS at max settings or is that too much to ask of the hardware?

I'm going to have to try this...
Edit: Didn't help. And all of my issues are due to the trees. Trees used to treat my PC well, but now... I can't hold a steady frame rate at all.

So this game was playing fine before, 60FPS locked maximum settings at 1080P.
Just made it to the first area unlock and my FPS is tanking down to around 30fps and back up constantly.
Is it the game or my GPU?
We had a power surge earlier today but everything seems to be okay and I have everything connected to a good quality surge protector, and I'm not displaying any artifacts in OCCT or other games so I think I am okay. So I think we can rule that one out, I've had plenty of experience with electronics and power surges.
System:
Core i5 2500k @ 4.5GHZ, load temps are fine(50C)
GTX980 @ Stock clocks, temps are sub 60 or cooler with fan at 75%
4gb DDR3 1600 Ripjaws X ram by G.Skill

You only have 4GB of RAM? That could possibly have something to do with it, its a bit low.

Well yeah I listened to people saying you only need 4gb of system ram, then again with the 980 having 4GB of VRAM I think I am covered.
I mean I run a lot of other intensive games and I even downsample BF3-4 and get a solid 60FPS on Ultra...so I didn't think it was a problem, I can definitely order some more right now but if I don't need it I won't buy it.
And again it was running fine before but now it runs like hot shit.
No offence but you're crazy to use 4GB of system RAM given your cpu and gpu and the relative cost of DDR3 memory. You're leaving performance on the table. The recommended amount for this game is 8GB.
4GB probably left you with to little to spare when you progressed in the game and its scope increased.
Who said you only need 4gb of ram in 2014-15?The same people probably saying 4gb vram was worthless on gtx 770...... BF4 eats up ram, I call bs on downsampling 1080p mp with solid framerates.
FarCry4 has or had(?) memory leaks but OS alone and FC4 I think that might be your issue.
It's the recent update. My rig has been chugging hard in forests since 1.6 updated. Before, it was absolute smooth sailing.
I hope they patch it soon.

HardOCP posted a thorough performance article: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2015/01/07/far_cry_4_video_card_performance_review
TL;DR:
-Maxed out settings are acceptable only on 980/970.
-AMD is nearly on par with Maxwell when GameWorks features are off.
-Kepler performance is shockingly bad, even compared to AMD.

Would this explain why my card can't make 60FPS at max settings, or would it just be down to not being powerful enough?
That makes sense. I'm running a GTX 680, and even with all the eye-candy at the lowest settings my framerate only barely reaches above 75fps. I don't remember having issues like this with 3 or Blood Dragon.
