Far Cry 4 due this November

[Dicehunter]

Well from what I've seen the people who have the "Jack Sparrow Edition" have had really bad performance issues so hopefully those of us who actually bought it will get patches to increase performance

No idea why, but i preloaded around 6 and fired the game straight up.
Not great performance so hoping the patch is the reason. If not it could be a crossfire issue.

Edit: Looks like im running 1.3.0 gonna check if that's the updated version.

Any idea if it is worth getting the Gold edition over the standard one ?

Been able to load up the game straight away and after half an hour I'm very impressed. On AMD FX-8350, 16GB RAM and a GTX 970 I've got everything on Ultra and SMAA and it's locked at 60fps barring just a few small and barely noticeable stutters.

I'm guessing after Nvidia drivers and patch are released this will be even better. I did unlock the framerate to get a better look at performance and it seemed to range between 65 and 90 fps.

Haven't played a lot as I want to finish Alien Isolation first but early signs are very promising and christ does it look gorgeous!! I spent a lot of time admiring the scenery. Ubisoft may have redeemed themselves a little here.

Not sure when it unlocked, I assumed it would be midnight but after installing about an hour ago I was able to load up the game straight away.

 

[Digital X]

Nice one cheers. I'll buy it now.

 

[StriderX]

I don't see how Ubisoft can release all there damn games at the same time?

 

[Digital X]

Where did you buy from eclipta? Got mine from kinguin.

So that they can have the rest of the year off.

can someone with crossfire tell me how this plays and scales tomorrow please

 

[dink]

Pre-loading now, took day off work tomorrow especially

Not scaling at all for me, turned crossfire off and it runs better. Still not getting great frame rate with settings on high. I`m going to have to mess around with medium till i`m happy.

For reference getting 30-40 with high setting on a i7 920 @ 4ghz with a 7990 with crossfire disabled.

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Getting around 50FPS average with crossfire 290X's (AFR Friendly enabled) Maxed (No AA) @ 4K, got a spot of flickering I need to fix though, other than that appears to play well, 2 GPU's doubled my frame rate from 1.

The beginning cut scene got me right in the mood, fading out with Clash - Should I stay or should I go, really looking forward to hammering this.

 

[Digital X]

Nothing from kinguin yet Saw some rhino footage, that thing is evil.

 

[Born_2_Kill_83]

AMDMatt has confirmed AMD Farcry 4 drivers are coming "very soon".

 

[Antony101]

When does this unlock? midnight or some stupid time tomorrow?
