Just started playing since 1.9/Yeti installs.
I haven't had any crashes yet but I'm getting HUGE screen freezes that last several seconds at random times. Sometimes it will be just picking up a collectible item, other times taking a distant shot with the sniper rifle, or running over a civvie.
Going to shelve this and play other games until they wake up and fix it.
Ubi are so inept at the tech end it's amazing they ever got as big as they are.
Their Marketing Scam Team is fierced, in charge and takes time away from the dev teams making it seem like they are inept. the again, if people are willing to buy half a$$ed games at full price and then even pay for DLC content when the game itself is still broken after 9 attempts to fix it, can we really blame UBI 100% w/o taking some of the blame ourselves?
With information at our fingertips, we should be more responsible for what we buy... trust no one, they have all become corrupt and greedy bastards.
^Yeah apparently they're taking the "Everything is permitted" mantra a bit too far. Hype them, get them out the door, and get around to fixing them only if enough people pester them 24/7.
Well I still have Dying Light loaded up, which seems to be running fine on it's latest update., And I'm also enjoying revisiting Spec Ops The Line on Fubar. Better than watching my screen freeze every couple minutes.
This is only my opinion and you have to learn to read between the lines... the original dev team is now working on the next scam game, all they have working on fixing this game is a skeleton crew probably fresh out of high school that even though they may run circles around me, they also don't know the original code and even if they do, with time constrains, all they are able to do is patch some things and of course, break others that were working before... this is the motto of most games now a days.
The solution is simple but most people are scare to stop buying these broken games for fear that they publisher will stop making it. What they don;t know is that this will never happen because someone else will either buy the franchise or the bankrupted company and keep on making the game.
Most answers are, buy a console if you don't know how to tinker with your computer, and those answers are wrong because back in the days of honesty, I did not know much about computers but I was able to insert my game disc, install the game and play effortless. The excuse of Technology requirements is just that... an excuse for scamming people out of their money.
Well, I ended up completely reinstalling the game to see if a fresh install would fix the crashes I had in the main campaign.
Played The Key To The North again, and got the same first freeze trying to pick up the Mohan's Journal in the room with the radio after you get through the bridge gate. That was enough for me to know certain assets in the game world have been corrupted by the 1.9 update. I didn't play any further, but other places this happened on my prior test was when sniping the guy across the bridge when you first go north past that outpost, and accidentally running over a Sherpa after driving across that bridge.
I'm pretty sure it's not the Valley of the Yetis DLC install itself that's causing problems, because I played a lengthy session of that DLC last night with no problems.
I've seen some chat indicating lots of people think the 1.9 update messed with certain game files in the main campaign. Some people are actually deleting certain game files as a workaround, but if you delete too many, you can end up with some texture files missing.
I think it's about time someone from Ubi acknowledge this problem, instead of just remaining silent. For now I'm playing VotY, but I refuse to try and finish my main campaign play through on HUDless Hard mode until they issue a proper patch fix.
