My game does the same unless I lower the engine clock on my GTX580, did the same with Dishonored & one or two other games,I discovered this 'fix' on a forum.
I have Asus Smartdoctor installed & simply move a slider a little before I play, it has no effect on slowing down the game

I considered that too.
I haven't overclocked my 670gtx.Drivers are upto date.

Clearly a clash somewhere, its just frustrating when you don't get any trouble from 99% of other games. However, the AAA title pulls a spasm with your hardware. ;-)

What are chances that its my overclocked CPU? ([email protected])

Wishing I had grabbed Skyrim instead ;-)

Having to restart every 10 minutes due to the issue I posted before :/

I had that issue once and it was caused by an unstable GPU overclock.

Murray · 26 Dec 2012 at 17:50

Don't have any overclocks. Seems to have stopped with the graphics all on high.

I'm enjoying it, nearly halfway through it now. The only problem I seem to have though is npc's stuttering as they move and come to a stop. Kind of ruins the immersion.

I'm loving the AMR signature weapon, it sends enemy's flying and takes down heavy's and vehicles with one shot.

Dont mean to sound like a negative ladys private parts, but along with Crysis 2 this has to be the worst £29.99 i've spent on a game of lame. So over hyped, under delivers in terms of graphics and play-ability. Specifics: textures - awful and poorly mapped. Gaps between the textures - little white lines so you can kinda see each poly a little too obviously. Controls - dont feel natural out of the bag - took quite a bit of faffing to get it 'controllable' . i Could go on, but feel bad for laying the negative vibe out so much !

Can't really say I noticed any of what you mention, controls were easy enough to pick up and had no issues with the graphics at all.

Is the "Uplay" software really needed? Seems like crap.

I don't think so. It's not been working most of this week for me anyway but am still playing the game ok. No DRM anymore thank gawd.

Have to say I found the graphics superb, not really noticed any gaps or dodgy textures?

Control-wise, I've been using my 360 controller all the time and its great with that. Loving the game.

Thank God they have finally added UI options!!! I might start playing the game again, and finally finish it.

Still can't change the map though

Monkeyspaz5000 · 28 Dec 2012 at 15:15

Still playing this and enjoying it!! Basically just ignoring the "missions" and going off on my own adventure.

How are people doing the Gunslinger Takedown on PC?

When I try to do it, it keeps doing the knife throw takedown instead. Tried pressing wasd keys, makes no difference.

Bought this game on a whim after seeing the zero punctuation vid, was half expecting it to be another horrible boring FPS. What a surprise, have barely been off it since I got it.

There's the odd few bugs and it feels a little easy. But the game keeps throwing surprises at me. Like last night I was trying to avoid a tiger that I stumbled upon, as I moved towards the river thinking the coast was clear, I get dragged under by a crocodile

I do wish the pirates would try to reclaim outposts, especially near zones where their presence is high.

I love taking the outposts with the sniper with the silencer attachment, shoot all the alarms and then pick people off, and to finish the heavies, C4 or some explosive arrows

Explosive arrows?! When do they show up? I only have the Molotov fire ones.

Monkeyspaz5000 · 28 Dec 2012 at 16:24

Silenced sniper rifle is my weapon of choice along with the flame thrower, LMG and bow.

Murray · 28 Dec 2012 at 16:40

I've been going with the bow, sniper, lmg and silenced pistol(which is very fun)

Monkeyspaz5000 · 28 Dec 2012 at 16:42

It is a fun game - but so far it's also pretty easy.
