Far Cry 4 due this November

Right, I think I have found a "possible" solution to this stuterring but...it "may" come at a cost.

After fiddling around for ages trying to smooth out the stuttering I found the only thing that really made any effect was the DisableLoadingMip0="0" setting in the xml file that we all know about.

Setting this to DisableLoadingMip0="1" does reduce the texture quality of a lot of textures, but not all textures. For me, with the game vanilla, everything set to Ultra and no other tweaks enabled in the xml file or nvidia control panel it pretty much eliminated the stuttering and my fps shot up.

Now, a possible solution to combat the low texture quality is to downsample your resolution. Remember to disable AA ingame.

Im running at 3200 x 1800 on a 1080p monitor and still getting very good fps and no stutter. Ive tried going to 4K but my monitor goes nuts so 3200 is maybe my max.

Try it out, after downsampling the game still looks really good despite the DisableLoadingMip0 setting and best of all, there is very little or no stutter at all. (on my rig)
 
This game is so frustrating. It's really good fun. The graphics are brilliant. But the bugs are so annoying.

I went round collecting masks and loot crates yesterday. Loaded up today and it's forgotten everything that I did. Arghhhh

I have noticed that on occasion, went hunting to upgrade items, saved and logged out of tge game and lo and behold all upgrades gone. But once I had the reverse skins reappeard. Ubisoft really need to rethink it's woeful games release policy, as game after game are bugfed to hell.

Still enjoying the game though.

If you get a rare skin but further down the road you get killed then unless you saved it straight after the kill the skin will be lost, I'm currently saving every every time I discover somewhere new or get an important upgrade skin & not not lost anything since. A quicksave key would be very useful if it could be implemented
 
Weird ghosting effect. You can see a 'ghost' of my stuck Tuck Tuck

Man this game really sucks!
 
Lol! The game is a sad reflection of PC gaming these days. I will not be paying for another Ubisoft POS again! (Although I said that with Watch Dogs)

I said the same after watchdogs, then again after I pre-ordered AC:U for the PS4. Thankfully I didn't pay full price for FC4 as it does have its fair share of issues but with the recent spate of poor releases by multiple publishers I do not think I will have any more pre-orders or day 1 purchases unless proper reviews have been released before the game comes out such as was done with DA:I
 
Turn SMAA off. I get that when I use SMAA.

Yep, it's very disconcerting.

Anyway finished this last night (main quest).

Warning, spoils!
Really underwhelming. I went with Sabal all the way through. Didn't kill Amita. Can you choose not to kill Pagan?

Main quest was dull as dishwater IMO. There was one quest only that was pretty good (brick factory), but mostly just 'meh'. Flying in shangri-la was atrocious.

Having said that, there is plenty to do and for a moment in act two I was quite enjoying it. If you enjoy repetitive tasks then you could lose yourself in this game. Not for me though! I might go back to the game later for co-op and/or when it's fixed.

5/10 (bang average)

Will try now

But the gunplay feels strained for me. It's hard to get headdies. I went from FC to BF4 and the difference is madness

I use Nvidia Control panel and followed this guide:

Also, this guide may be helpful too but I used the first one.

I think the results are very good imo and I was surprised how well my GPUs coped. It actually makes the game smooth, playable and still looks really good.

Yeah I think I am doing something wrong. I can't seem to make it work for me. I want to go 4K and downscale to 2560x. But I cannot make it work :confused::confused::confused::confused:

Yep, the implementation of mouse support is horrible.

Probably something to do with the acceleration but I didn't bother to sort it. Difference between ADS and not ADS is huge for me. Possibly it uses raw input as well, because when I lowered my mouse DPI setting, aiming was was much smoother.

Not just me then. I have a 144Hz monitor to be able to flick shot but it's impossible with this dodgy game lol

Aside, I seem to get ambushed by Wolves or Tigers far too much. My advice - travel by car or gyrocopter at all times haha
