Far Cry 3 Thread

Tried in Steam and it didn't work so we're stuck with Ubisoft's installer I'm afraid.

I've uploaded the download manager here if you want to try it but obviously not 100% sure it'll be identical as I am in NZ (although 99% of the time we get the same version as UK/US).

Hero thanks a lot! Got the gf downloading it now while im.at work! Lol took some explaining had to download it on my phone and pop it on drop box so she could do it on my pc but now shes got it going cant wait to play tnite then
 
Is the SP/Free roam deal any good?. Far Cry 2 didn't really do anything for me but I'm curious as to how this plays.

Haven't really played much past the intro yet so i couldn't make a personal opinion, a lot of the aussies that have been playing since yesterday are describing it as the Skyrim of FPS though if that helps.
 
its just cause 2 without the stunts and better graphics.

It gets repetitive and boring very fast

Lol.

Fair enough i can imagine the only thing that makes it like just cause is an island and free roam, im sure its a far better game ill see for myself later sorry u dont like it though
 
grabbed the crack backed up the replaced files playing the game WOOT

I know, it's ridiculous that the game plays better without the Uplay crap.

Have you patched it to 1.01?

I'm struggling with performance right now, GTX 580 @ 830/2050 MHz at 2560x1440, had to switch to Dx9 to avoid major slowdowns. The 310.64 beta drivers don't seem to help much with the 5** cards. GTX570 is slower than HD 5870 in this game. :o

That graph is a bit misleading unless everything is only at stock. 7850 & 2500k both OC'd and 32 fps has been my absolute minimum not average, Ultra settings, 1920x1080 but only x2 AA.

Bit weird seeing people on the Ubi forum with 690's etc having worse performance.
 
OOO no idea if it patched after i did the UBI DL just got the crack and replaced the locked files. Run the game with farcry3_d3d11 api and it runs perfect. I'll swap the files out tommorow for legit once keys are available.
 
Ohh ok i thought we just had to download via rickys thing and then its ready to go after putting our codes in

That is the case, we're just using the crack atm rather than waiting for Ubi to send the code at midnight, it just has the added bonus of bypassing uplay completely.
 
Same happened to me with GMG funny thing is I now own the game according to GMG so lets see if i get a code for the deluxe version.

The GMG site says

This game cannot be traded in

This game is not available for download yet. It will be on . Any required keys will be made available on that date.

so already DL with the ubi DL now i think ill hunt for the crack.

Got the same issue, tried emailling them but guessing I'll get the same canned reply. Wonder what it is. I bank with HSBC but my friend does as well and he bought his no problem.

Tried transferring the funds into my paypal beforehand and even that didn't work.
 
I take it all back! Just got this email from GMG 12 minutes after submitting my support ticket
