    Another r9 380 user checking in. Random hard freezes in the southern/middle area of the map. Guaranteed crash within 30 seconds when entering the northern snowy areas.

    I'm about to submit my ticket.

    I'm not sure if this is related or not.

    My game seems to freeze up every time dawn starts. The first two crashes I had were when I tried to sleep until dawn. Then I did an escort Wenja quest, starting during the night. About the time I'd be almost done, the game would freeze. At these times it also happened to be becoming morning time. Then, one time I completed it. Shortly after, when it started to get light out, my game froze up again. I launched the game again, and it crashed almost immediately (it's now right before dawn in the save file).

    EDIT: I have an AMD Radeon HD 7800 series.

    I am having the same crashing issue (r9 380 MSI twin frozr 4gig) can happen almost anytime but mainly when there is fire (including fire fly’s lol) on the screen. I seem to remember far cry 3 and 4 having numerous miserable issues on release. Is it too much to ask for a product that is playable at release? If just a small percentage of people are having issues that would be one thing (I think this has gone past the small percentage). This must be why gaming consoles are getting more and more popular. Looking forward to the patch that allows me to play a game I preordered (you would think that I would learn).

    With that said I do feel sorry for the team that has to sort, find and fix the errors and I hope you guys and gals have lots of coffee on hand.

    Man ... I thought I was the only one. It is crashing more frequently at snowy regions and I have a R9 380 as well. I thought I was cursed or something until I saw this thread, makes me feel a little better.

    Also, I tried everything and by this I mean EVERYTHING :

    - Tried at LEAST 6 different drivers, rolling back and on so many times
    - Underclocked / overclocked the GPU using Afterburner a lot of times
    - Took off the card and plugged it back (yes, I seriously did this)
    - Installed the latest chipset drivers for my i5
    - Disabled steam overlay
    - Tried to run as administrator
    - Turned off VSync, forced it through RadeonPro along with Triple Buffering
    - Disabled Aero theme
    - Used Microsoft's FixIt to change TdrDelay (registry editor) from 2 to 8 then changed it manually to 10
    - Checked device manager to see if there are any missing drivers, there are none
    - A few more things I can't remember atm

    NOTHING f****** works, I am starting to regret the day I bought this card but I can't even be sure if it's that or Ubisoft's epic fail engine, fml.

    A friendly warning from me to anyone who has a R9 card : do NOT buy this game until this **** is fixed (I hope it will be) and save yourself the trouble. Go play FC4 instead, that one doesn't crash every 5 minutes. I gave up on AC with Unity and it seems like I am going to give up on FC (sadly I really love the series) with Primal. GJ.

    p.s. no other game other than Fallout 4 (well, except the obvious) does this (but that's normal because everyone knows how ****ty Bethesda is at optimization).

    I'm another PC peasant with an R9 380.

    You could at least update the bug list on the forum so we know you're actually doing something about it.

    I dont think its the card. I think its Ubisofts fault. When i was playing the Open Beta of division the other day, the game also kept crashing. I dont have any problems with other games, only with Ubisoft titles.

    I've got the same issue. The game has been running fine for hours but now it'll either freeze whilst loading a save-game, or about 5 or so minutes into the game. It not only crashes the game, but my PC as well with either a freeze requiring hard-resetting, or if I'm lucky, I can open Task Manager and kill Far Crys process (Not Responding).

    I'm running an nVidia GTX680 (on a 1600x900 monitor so performance is fine!). The GPU driver also fails with a "has recovered" error message.

    All other games I have installed play fine. I've also monitored temps and performed MEMTEST overnight but everything comes up OK.
