I don't see how they could actually develop this many bugs when it's built on the Farcry3 Engine...

Here's how :p

Most Ubisoft games have trouble with stuttering.

I wonder what the problem is and why have they never been able to resolve it?
 
It's a modern AAA PC game.

I doubt they even did any QA/testing before they inflicted it upon the public. :(

Face it folks, PC users are 2nd class citizens to the devs/pubs. The only way you are going to fix it is to stop buying their crap.

Weird with everyone getting so many problems. Im on a 7950 and have no problems at all

I get no issues either, maybe the very odd occasional stutter, but its hardly noticeable. That's just me being super picky. I to am on a couple of 7950 cards but only use the 1 as perfomance is double with one card due to there not being a crossfire profile. I've heard lots of others as well on various other gaming forums that run 7950 say exactly the same, performance is pretty much 60fps with vsync and only dips to low or mid 50's occasionally with Ultra settings, Very High shadows, SSAO and SMAA. Maybe the game just works better on 7950's than other cards.

Interesting

It's a texture streaming issue which is caused by the game maxing out a single core on your CPU which in turn leads to extremely poor GPU usage i.e Hell'ish stutter.

I'm paraphrasing a bit but that's the general problem.

Yeah FarCry4 is maxing out one of my cores. Core3 goes to 97%+ which is causing the game to stutter. Other cores are around 30%. I have a 4770k at 4.2ghz.

You would think this would be an easy enough fix. Like some sort of leak.
 
I think I need a new graphics card asap but with a i7 & nvidia 470 gtx I'm running the game on high settings. Won't even work on the 'nvidia' setting. It's playable but not quite as smooth as I would like. Getting a bit stutter when driving vehicles which is a pain.

Though if I remember correctly from Far cry 3, doesn't it optimize the game for your PC as you play it? For some reason thats what I recall when I got far cry 3, intially poor performance then gradually everything becoming a lot smoother/less stutter/frame rate issues.
 
These are my settings for my 3570, 8GB RAM, GTX 760 setup. I'll post my FPS as well, cannot figure out averages etc, so don't expect much on the math side.

Very High Settings, 1080p. 50fps seems to the average, but looking at sky/ground is nearly always 60.

console games also have lots of bugs.

making games is becoming more and more complex

OS systems like the osx and windows also ship with bugs.

heck even the new android 5.0 OS has lots of bugs.

So do not release them until they have been thoroughly tested. Have proper alpha and beta testing phases.

It is not rocket science, and saying something is more complex is no excuse for not getting it right in the first place.

They could get it right every time, but certain parts of the industry are simply greedy and would rather palm off a broken product to make a few sales than take some extra time to properly test it before release.

It can be done. The only reason it is not done is money pinching. A company the size of Ubi, with the resources it can call on, has absolutely no excuse for releasing a broken game. Nil. Nada. Zilch. Zero.

The fact that there are issues on console too is laughable. It is one platform, every machine has the same specs. Jeez, if they can't get it right then they should just pack up and go home! :rolleyes:

More like devs of AAA titles are getting lazy. You don't see Nintendo releasing buggy junk.

Not backing ubisoft up here but pointing out. Making a game for a console vs pc is very different. Devs have one hardware wiiu to support, devs on pc have a lot different configurations to cover.
 
lol.... SandBox snap to terrain fail. what a beginner's mistake,

Or they may have sunk that part of the terrain after planting the tree and then forgot about re-aligning it,. rushing it, probably. Like the rest of the game.

I think that is a bit harsh tbh. The game is very very good, with lots of attention to detail. These bugs are unfortunate and should not be there, but lets not go over the top.

This strangely makes sense because every time start the game it crashes but then as I play it becomes smoother... but still not 100%
 
Just completed the game. Enjoyable storyline, but on the whole it is definitely a re-skinned Far Cry 3. Not sure why there are so many issue considering this is the case.

I played it maxed and did get some stuttering when playing, but I was able to live with it as it did not ruin my enjoyment.

Anyone else complete it yet? If so thoughts?

I chose to shoot Pagan Min at the end, but I went on YouTube and watched the ending where you let him live and it has to be said it is a much better ending than shooting him.

Really enjoyed Pagan Min as an antagonist :)

I also went with Sabal towards the end when Amita wanted to destroy the temple, which in my opinion was a step too far. I did let her live though, she was too sexy to kill. lol. Though hindsight I wish I went with her :D
