Just loaded Far Cry 4 a week ago and it runs with a terrible lag on my Alienware laptop. Far Cry 3 ran just fine. I have plenty of memory and I exceed all of the recommended requirements. I see a lot of hits on the internet for this issue. What is the fix???? Thanks!!
Not sure what you mean by lag. Is it stuttering? Low frame rate? While Far Cry 3 is a beautiful game I'd imagine Far Cry 4 is substantially more demanding - but I could be wrong. What's your system specs? You could be running out of VRAM.
As playlisting said, we need your hardware specs to determine where the problem is. Also make sure you use the latest drivers and try disabling soft shadows from the options.
Also lag is usually related to networking. Low frame rates or "stutters" are not "lag".

Somehow the game was running on the Intel video driver instead of the Nvidia card...once I switched it back all was good....thanks!
