Far Cry 3 Thread

Haven't played much SP, been too busy with the MP side of things. MP maps and weapons are excellent, not too boring and always packed with action, but not stupid like CoD. weapons are very very balanced, which is excellent, even better than BF3, CoD.

Only downside is P2P.

MP is ok for a few hours but I dont see it lasting long.

There is not enough variety with weapons. The maps are confusing including the enemy re spawn points. Most of the time the fighting is just at one spot.

Like i said it's ok but not excellent.
 
Just started playing this. Really enjoyed the start and enjoying it so far. Already better than Far Cry 2 i think.

Not bad for a fiver! :D
 
A number of minor annoyances and a bad dose of consolitis but otherwise I’m really liking this, good fun, scope for creative action, fun takedowns, some great spontaneous moments usually involving wild animals and it looks pretty sweet. The Mods that remove some of the Console eyesores really help too. Having fun exploring so far.
 
I'm loving this game at the moment just doing bucks missions.

The worst thing by far is after looking for something on foot for what feels Like eternity then getting mauled by a tiger or bear or something and having to restart where you left off
 
The hang gliders are actually worth using unlike FC2 where the flight lasted 15 seconds, if you can find one really high then you can stay up for ages, only problem for me is the flight controls won't remap to arrow keys as I'm a leftie

Far Cry 3 Juddery performance

Hi

Anyone know how to fix the juddery performance in Far Cry 3

I get it even running video setings on optimal - shame as ruining game for me?

Thanks

MC
 
running 1.3 or 1.4 patch?

only ask as for me i don't use sli, but my m8 does use crossfire, he has the 1.4 patch and latest amd beta drivers and no problems, must be nvidia :(

yeah I bpught game so its upto date

and I also have the latest nvidia drivers

my gpus only at about 60% most of the time on ultra no msaa so dont know whats causing it.
 
Which AMD drivers are people using for best performance?

I'm still on 12.10 but AMD claims 12.11 CAP 2 improves FC3 performance, does it? I presume you also need to use the beta drivers with that profile?
 
Have they still not fixed this issue with 64 core systems? Fixing 32 cores is nice and all, but they can't stop there, this is really getting on my nerves. :(
 
I dunno if its just me being overly critical but the story is really starting to get a little bit ridiculous and the dialogue in some bits is just embarrassing.

Like when you rescue Ollie, you get in the boat with him and he acts like he just bumped into you at a bar, not like he was getting kicked around by pirates before someone with a very loud sniper rifle started blowing them away.

And the Buck quests are getting silly. I can accept that its trying to be a little unreal like an Indiana Jones film with the Compass and everything, but why is it everywhere I go seems to be filled with pirates for no reason other than to give me something to shoot?

Also, unlocked the signature Z-93 sniper rifle with the mega-high penetration/damage bullet. Can 1 shot heavies in the face (and anyone who happens to be stood behind them too :p).
