I'm playing and enjoying this but I'm getting constant crashes and freezes, anyone having/had the same issue?

No. I just had a full play through recently and had no crashes at all. Don't remember having any previously either.

No, it has played fine for me without any hitches at all. Is your system, i.e. CPU, GPU and memory running at stock?

It is at the moment, I’ve had to unplug extra monitors, I’ve reinstalled the game and closed down unnecessary background apps.
Well i thought the game was good when i got it on sale , so if you like past far cry games give it a go and Steam has a refund if you don't like it
never used the refund so unable to say how it works or the terms etc

Ordered it earlier and had a play. Only £12 on Steam so figured why not.
Have to say it's a bit meh IMO.
Firstly, it stealth installs ubisoft connect which then launches the game, it then remains running in the background in the system tray when you close the game so have to manually close it.
Secondly, I'm not a fan of the way the camera motion/movement works in Far Cry, seems 6 is no different to the others. There's no smooth transition from still to moving when you press WASD, it's just an instant move. Feels robotoic in a way, something that other FPS games do not exhibit.
I also don't like how you have to get right under an item to collect it, unlike other games where you can just go near it and press the button, this game you have to basically be standing on it it felt like lol.
It does look quite nice although nowhere near the fidelity of more modern games. Water doesn't have a atral look to it, and water movement feels like an animation video frame rather than fluidly dynamic. Cutscenes are using forced letterboxes, so on ultrawide you get pillarboxes thrown in meaning the cutscene is a rectangle in the middle of the screen surrounded by massive black borders.
I enabled RT shadows, reflections and HD textures mode on ultra settings. At 4586x1920 ran the benchmark and got:
Filed the Steam refund as a result of the things I didn't like.

Looks like £11 seems to be the low.
Thank you for the update. Where do we can buy it? I have been addicted to farcry since first version.

I played this for a few hours when it came out, and man it was boring. Got to the part where you can leave in a boat, and so I did 
I then lived happily ever after and freed up some drive space at the same time.

Me too. FC2 put me off for ages, but I caught up with 3 & 4 and enjoyed 5 and even New Dawn, despite it being the same map. Upgrading, capturing outposts, ignoring the plot, just good old fashioned survival fun. But from the start FC6 felt like someone had seen reviews of the series and decided to make their own version. A much less satisfying, slightly wrong version.
No idea where I was up to last year when I stopped playing. But at least it didn't have any "you have been caught, do not pass go, come do this tedious section... again" parts. So it's not all bad!
This is what's putting me off getting it. I loved 1-3 but got bored in 4.

I had never played any before, so 6 (which was my first play) was fine. However I did get 5 to trial for a week on a promo recently, got a couple of hours in and that's where it stayed. Its the same with the AC franchise they all have the repetitive elements and you have to be in the mood to play it.
6 was incredibly boring, and visually dated. Fairly certain they rolled straight into developing 7, which will be another half-assed game.
6 was boring. They need to change it up instead of doing the same formula but in a different setting. I remember trying to do an outpost in FC 6 and it wouldnt let me because that outpost was part of a story mission...Just lazy developing all round.
