**Ghost Recon Wildlands** Official thread

Cool thanks, I did cross into one but could have sworn it said I can't go here.. unless I hit the map edge.

Loving the game apart from the occasional freezing during gameplay. Put it down to Medium settings and running it on 4820k @4.5, Rampage IV, 16GB ram and 2x R9 290.

It's definitely a fun game in coop, I am enjoying it a lot with friends. If you don't take it too seriously then it can be a fantastic laugh.

My problem with this game is that it is so lazily designed. You could take the same game engine, same physics, same map layout and plonk it down in a different setting or time period and you'd have any of Ubisoft's open-world games. When compared to the best open-world games it really doesn't come out very favourably. When I think of the Witcher 3, any of Rockstar's games, or even something like Mass Effect, I think of memorable stories, interesting characters, cool side quests, and great dialogue. Wildlands has absolutely none of those things. The player characters are empty shells, the cartel members you're hunting aren't much better, the dialogue is trite and cliched, the single radio station is lazy and boring, and the missions and side quests are incredibly repetitive. I'd love Ubisoft to do an open world game that actually had dialogue options like the Witcher or Mass Effect, or at least really well written, funny dialogue like in the GTA games.

What's worse is that this is the best selling game of the year so far, so it's justifying Ubisoft's game design direction.

+1

I am still baffled by how this game took them 4 years to make

I'm guessing those saying its a bad single player game are playing on normal mode because stick it on extreme with markers off and it plays similar to the original ghost recon games on pc.

 

[Digital X]

I have it on Advanced, only the map on. No enemy markers etc.

New patch means I'm getting above 40 FPS which I consider reasonable on my aging hardware.

 

[Digital X]

New patch around today, or the previous patch a while back?

 

[MM-Seat]

Probably a combination of both as I hadn't picked it up for almost a week.

My specs are FX-8320, R9 280, 8GB ram all at stock. I'm running medium at 40-45 FPS. Assuming some of you with more modern and beefy components should run high at 60 FPS now?

 

[Digital X]

We wish Frame drops and stutters still. For the most part it's around 50fps at 1440p most things max.

So is this a case of poor optimisation? I must admit that I don't notice any frame drops or stutters whatsoever.

 

[Digital X]

I'd guess so. Unless it's my CPU's age. I'll get MSI Afterburner up and running and have a look.

4 maps to go before completing all missions and collecting every upgrade / kingslayer file. Had just under 50 hours out of it so far and enjoyed it all for the most part apart from 1 or 2 story missions that just slow gameplay down to a crawl.

 

[nuzik]

im still unable to play the game, there seems to be some issue with 780ti users

 

[Digital X]

What happens when you try to play, or get in the game? Your system is no slouch is should be fine.

i had one issue where it hung, got over that. Then i got into the game and couldnt get passed the FMV. I just used escape to get passed it worked fine. Then i walk about and it goes no dont even bother and hangs.
completely uninstalled reinstalled, same with graphics drivers. tried running as admin as well.
I have taken the graphics down to low! makes no difference still crashes

 

[andicole0]

Running great for me.

Lol Same here, some SLI stutter that is being investigated.
90 ish fps @ 1440p set to nvidia optimal settings.
Andi.

damn the udp are persistent

I had 3 choppers after me and loads of troops..i swam across 2 rivers and they still kept spotting me, and had to lead them to a narco hideout so they would fight them instead!

Except that its third person so you don't need to expose yourself to fire to see what is going on & is open world with vehicles not mission structured infantry combat, sure it looks fun I can't deny that but it's not in any way comparable to the first Ghost Recon games (Pre GRAW that is), I'd kill for a return to the series roots as a hardcore first person tactical shooter! this is to me a GTA/Mercenaries style game which is fine but it certainly does not need Ghost Recon branding.
