    I've been coming across constant issues with I will state down below, so far I have NOT be able to fix them, regardless of what I do.


    - Graphic/texture flickering.. this just makes the graphics flicker constantlly showing them in different location and when it happens alot the game is unplayable.
    - Constant crashing.. my games randomly crashes I have no idea why, I'll come across a wild animal and shoot it and I'll crash like wtf..


    Any help please? I just want to play the game.. My computer specs are below.

    dont use the Nvidia game works settings or Nvidia geforce experience optimized settings

    Nvidia godrays can make the game unstable and crash

    as for AA and AO i use SMAA SBCC game runs crash free

    my in Game settings are set to Custom
    resolution 1920 X 1080
    vsync - on


    Quality settings
    motion blur off - not a fan of it ..
    Textures - Ultra
    Shadows - High
    Post FX -Ultra
    Geometry - Very High
    Vegetation- Ultra
    Environment - High
    Water - Ultra
    Ambient Occusion setting is SSBC
    Antialising settings is SMAA


    God rays - off- not a fan of how it looks (can make the game unstable)
    Fur - on
    Trees relief -on


    in Advanced settings
    Triple buffering - off
    Vsync mode - Normal


    in Nvidia control panel, i made these changes
    Anisotropic Filtering = 16 X
    Max Pre Rendered Frames = 1
    Set Power Management Mode = Adaptive


    game looks fine to me and plays stutter free on my system with zero crashes




    also i installed Razer Cortex version 7.0 as it does seem to help with this game

    yea that looks to me like a driver issue

    i'd get DDU and try to reinstall your drivers , there were many complaints on the Nvidia forums about the recent drivers causing flickering in some games ..

    check the Nvidia forums here https://forums.geforce.com/default/board/33/

    they have a dl link there to get DDU also

    and one other thing ya may want to check is if there is any UPDATED bios for your mother board since your running a GTX 1060
    some times that can help with the new Nvidia pascal GPU's and assorted driver errors

    well contact Ubi support then

    game runs perfect here and i only have a single ASUS Strix GTX 960 - driver version 359.06 last driver asus has posted for my factory overclocked GPU

    my CPU is an old Core 2 quad Q 9650 and i have 8 gig of ram installed Win 10 Pro 64 bit ,, game ran fine also when i had Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit

    i gave up on the Nvidia reference drivers as they caused me all kinds of issues once i installed Windows 10 and the ASUS driver runs more stable
