Far Cry 6

[LtMatt]

Just finished downloading the game, ran a few benchmarks at max settings 2160P/1440P, now time to play.

Loaded this up just now and I've got some crazy coil whine in the menus, in game it's not so bad. Anyone else?

Running a 2070 Super.

Yes I got that too, goes away once you play the game. Was getting something silly like a 1000 FPS.

To disable that VRAM warning popup go to Ubisoft Connect > 3 white lines at the top left > click "Settings" then "General" then untick "enable in game overlay".

Does uplay still track playtime if the overlay is disabled?

@Paul_cz Yes it does.

It forces chromocratic aberration which always gives me a headache. Thankfully it's not over the top.

That's unfortunate, chromatic aberration caused me a lot of headaches when playing D2 until I realised what it is, is there no option to turn it off?

I need to have a fiddle with the graphics settings tomorrow, just did the first hour of the game and its made me feel sick, like motion sickness. I've had this before on some titles and its always been something in the graphics settings thats caused it. I'll give it a look tomorrow and try some different settings.

Also try increasing the FOV setting, though if on a UW monitor don't go crazy to avoid stretching (I'm so glad the FOV setting is there) and if possible try increase the distance between yourself and the monitor. I've found these work for me.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Hope this changes. Is there not a manual config file change to adjust maybe?

Is HD resolution pack available on Epic launcher version of the game?

Problem getting the game started, not the first time I have seen this but that was with older Steam games.
Anyway have not got a clue how to resolve this.

EDIT: For reasons known only to the gaming gods the game has sparked into life.

Turning off the Ubisoft Overlay apparently boosts FPS. https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/comments/q32753/heads_up_disabling_the_ubiconnect_overlay/

Bit strange it does that?

 

[DanF]

is there a delay with AMD rewards activating in ubisoft connect? it's been about 2 hours and still not showing up

So far this really does feel like a rehash of other far Cry games, but without the traditional leveling up to unlock skills.

Early mission was to burn down a tobacco field. Pretty sure there's the exact same mission in Far Cry 4 where you burn a drug field.

Your character even comments "Im sure ive done this before" or words to that effect towards the end of that mission

Not unheard of if its a badly optimised update. Epic Launcher for about
6 months last year made GPU's run 8-10c hotter even when idle.

Oh, Far Cry 5 had you burning bliss fields.

They can't just keep rehashing it and make a joke, these games need to move forward to stay interesting.

Already I'm not sure I can be bothered. This sums it up really:

Which HDR setting you guys using? HDR10 or ScRGB

 

[VincentHanna]

I keep reading ScRGB is more accurate for colours.

This is an intentional nod to previous games.

There are quite a few changes in this game actually.

Finally urban environments, third person camera in towns, third person cutscenes, fully speaking protagonist (compared to 5 and new dawn)..

But it is still a Far Cry game of course.

HDR10 for me, the other option looks washed out.
