You can also download SweetFX from Skyrim Nexus too

What kind of hardware are you looking at to run those settings well?

Mine is in my sig mate but not sure what the OP has

Awesome, cheers folks!

Probably been said 1000 times in this 55 page thread :rolleyes:

but the game is totally unplayable on my system. No matter what setting i put it on i get a constant 20 FPS that stutters and jerks.

Switch of MSAA and lower PostFX to medium. Tried that?

Tried, but it's an epic fail. FRAPS tells me it's playing at 40FPS but the graphics are just stuttering making the game unplayable

I can't play this anymore. It tried downloading the patch but failed, so I got it from Ubi's website. Installed it fine and everything, but now when I try launching the game, it sends me back to Ubisoft and tells me I still need to patch it. :confused:

I tried this game and altho it looked nice I had to turn the settings down until it looked like someone had sneezed porridge over the screen. Im going to update my system in the new year and then try it again.

A lot of the screenies on here make me cry

Andrew_McP · 14 Dec 2012 at 08:36

****** save system. Every time I decide to give the game another chance I die because of something daft (like my character not being able to hit the side of a barn at short range despite being able to snipe from miles away) and have to restart from miles away with no ammo.

This is the sound of me giving up and moving on to a proper game... Duke 3D! :->

I'm running this using optimal settings. Getting 50-90 fps.

Evilsod · 14 Dec 2012 at 08:52

The co-op is a bit buggy. Using a bow it randomly runs out of ammo. I have literally restocked ammo, pulled back an arrow to shoot someone and had it vanish into thin air along with the rest of my arrows without doing anything.

Also, tip for anyone using the bow. Do NOT use Fire Arrows in Coop. They simply don't work. The regular arrows 1 shot every regular enemy and do massive damage to the heavies whereas the fire arrows do practically nothing.

Make sure your v-sync is disabled, this has fixed it for me & a few mates. Obviously it's not going to work for everyone, but still. It's worth a try.

My boyfriend played Far Cry 3 and he loves it. I think that its graphic is great.

MANFACE · 14 Dec 2012 at 11:58

This my settings, and it plays quite well.

powelly · 14 Dec 2012 at 12:48

game plays at a nice 30 fps for me at 1920x1080 on low/medium settings on my laptop

uksoldierboy · 14 Dec 2012 at 14:23

Game runs great for me on ultra settings with no msaa, post processing on ultra, minus the stuttering every few seconds, not a game breaker for me though.
Should i be using HDAO or HBAO? being using the latter so far.

Linwig · 14 Dec 2012 at 15:06

For some reason I have to press alt+enter twice when starting the game (go from full screen and back to full screen again). The fps seems fine then.

Usher · 14 Dec 2012 at 15:40

Running superbly well for me on Q6600 & GTX580 on mostly optimal settings, seems players with the higher specs are giving more problems :confused:

Yep, some AMD dual cards are reporting poor performance. Take my 6990 for example, plenty of grunt, but the game is hardly using any of its potential. Have applied a fix found elsewhere and it has helped enormously. AMD as ever suck with their driver support.
