Since spring of this year (2016) there exists a facebook group dedicated to Far Cry 4 PvP mode:
group name: FAR CRY 4 MULTIPLAYER
https://www.facebook.com/groups/fc4.gamers/
People behind the whole idea managed to gather players who keep this game alive and encouraged them to create a community that interacts with each other making in-game competition even more fun.
It resulted in people making new friends, learning new things, solving problems together, sharing experience and inviting new people to try out the pvp mode.
PvP mode has become more friendly to beginners. Experienced players can share their knowledge some do this via videos, some discuss. That means more players stay in game for a longer time.
Unfortunately, most discussed problems are: bugs, glitches and server problems.
Players do what they can. They share informations, try to live with with problems learning to avoid them. Since nothing can be fixed without Ubisoft support.
The feeling of being left alone with no feedback has increased since lately servers are causing even more problems. That's why we decided there is a need to post here a list of major issues players struggle with:
- 9/10 or 8/10 players in a match and it's 'full' other players cannot join
- immediate kicks after joining the game
- connection problems in general
- seeing no ongoing sessions and the only possible way to join a game is through 'Battles of Kyrat'
- option 'invite a friend' being gone; same with 'join friend's game' (usually restarting game solves it)
- people using cheats problem reported so many times with no response best way to see nothing has been done to solve it is going to leaderboards and checking the score of player ranked as 1st (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyT2...ature=youtu.be)
- cheats are not only unfair but also damage matches causing map problems
- map problems no players visible on the map; rakshasa not visible when bell tower is activated; teammates not visible
- host-migration problem it can cause match to end/players being kicked from the match (sometimes with only 2 left)/cause bugs like rakshasa with guns or golden path with arrows
- harvesting plants players take one plant and get 0 (most common)/take one and get 2, or 3, or 4 even
- attempt to eliminate enemy player after a jump (from air) being interrupted by his death (from a different player/animal...) makes rakshasa stuck in the air only way to stay in game is waiting for an enemy to kill you
(https://www.facebook.com/Gregvibe/vi...4431422180751/)- scoreboard problems players cannot see their scores during/after the match
- player can't see who killed who/who killed him/how is the match going since no names/kills are showing on screen
- disappearing elephants (http://plays.tv/video/580e5c25591f9e1f09/completly-lol)
- unlimited animal charms - for example: you can summon a tiger again and again after it dies
- jammed arrow reloading
- ammo load problem - player cannot refill ammunition
- game clock starting before all players get connected
Lately problems with joining a match have became even worse. It has started with a big servers issue from few weeks ago. Some players struggle for more than 30 minutes (if they dont give up trying) to join a game. It makes it unplayable.
Introducing ourselves as a community that cares about the game and posting this list we ask for help if not with all, then with major problems we named (finding and joining a match/host migration/cheaters). We hope our call will not be ignored.
Regards,
FC4 multiplayer community
Hey sandrasss, thanks for compiling and posting this. I'll forward these concerns along on your behalf. Would you speculate that these are mostly PC issues, or is your group seeing them across all platforms?
In the meantime, if some of the players aren't already aware, these connectivity steps might help with some issues on an individual basis. That link is for PC, but there are similar guides for consoles.
Hi UbiVertigo,
thanks for your reply. What can you tell us about the cheaters? If you look for "far cry 4 multiplayer cheat" in youtube / google you'll find some classic examples.
Is it possible to find a technical solution in order to avoid this? It's a great game but since it's so easy to manipulate players will leave disappointed.
Best regards
Hi knoerry, welcome to the forums!
Any user can report a suspected cheater if they choose. To do so, check out this link. That link is for The Division, but all of the info is the same (you'll just want to adjust the title to the appropriate game). In short, create a support ticket, attach or link any images/video you might have of the suspected cheater, and send it out. And, just so you know, you're unlikely to hear back from a cheater report - we don't share the results of cheating investigations.
As to a technical solution on our end, I'll investigate.
Hi UbiVertigo,
we've sent videos and screenshots with cheaters to you. I've sent about 20 posts to "[General] Cheater Report".
Now, 4 month later, none of those proven cheaters has been banned until today. They still use the same hacks, they still manipulate the highscorelists.
This will be my last post to close this matter.
The last post I wrote was about the question, if a "UBISoft responsible team for cheaters" do exist at all.
I didn't received an answer. I guess this says it all.
I won't spend any time any more to prepare videos.
Fare-well Ubisoft, why do you hoax your players?
