Omg! I've had the exact same problems!
Well, not the same, but similar ****...
My game broke...
No, I'm one of the lucky ones that acctually gained from it!
So from what I understand this patch was supposed to fix the screenfreeze on i5 processors. For me, it didn't. Still same problem. And after this patch I can sometimes see like small lines between the polygons on the ground when I drive. Really weird. I think the performance might have gone up a little bit, but the bugs has stayed the same or even gotten worse and grown in numbers. So well... wtf
Ubi, I really do appreciate this game, I really do. And I get that it's a huge thing to create... But from what I've heard you are nowadays kinda known for creating buggy stuff, with buggy releases and weak servers. Not to mention the thing with the download stopping at 27Gb so that a lot of us didn't even get it at release. I haven't bought Ubi games for a while, but from what I hear this is a recurring thing with you guys at releases of new games? Are you gonna learn from your mistakes and start polishing games a little more before release, or are you just gonna keep it up in the same buggy way? Cause this feels a little bit rushed out just to make the stockholders happy. Maybe think a little bit more about the actual customers, or else you're gonna start losing us one after the other....
Right now it appears that I do have less problems than before on my system. Seems that the Turf effects in SLI have been addressed so that they don't cause massive stutters anymore, and overall stability has improved for me: I crash less. Haven't done any prolonged tests but at least I could get through a certain mission without crashing. Usually CTD every 10 minutes or so but now I can at least play over 30 minutes. I logged off after that, like I said, prolonged test still to be done.
That said, I could just be massively lucky, like in your poll. Who knows, maybe my next few hours of playing will be filled with bugs and crashes. Its always a gamble with Ubi-titles.
I'm sorry for you guys..
My game runs lot better now, though.. Screen freezes are gone completely and I don't crash at all =)
Haven't been able to start the game yet. I don't know what is best...the game not starting or having to deal with all those bugs people are posting in the forum.
Pretty much still getting freezing when the game goes to save. No RAM usage notifications to tell me I'm running out of memory etc. Also game fully freezes and crashes as before (not a regular issue)
I do like being able to turn all radios off though.....
I used to have a lot of stuttering and lag
But the game runs much smoother now
Thank you Ubi for working on this game and making it better.
Game seems to stutter for myself, when in a vehicle not much but it is noticeable
