    Far Cry 5 Coop - Is it gonna work or is it gonna Ubisoft? :mad:

    Needless to say, games published by Ubisoft, first of all, the AAA titles, are amazing. They always manage to bring something new to the industry, or at least make giant leaps from the previous games in the same series...

    But, what I want to know is how will Ubisoft handle the connectivity issues which the players have been seeing for years now across nearly every Ubisoft IP. EA doesn't ask me to open ports, or send MS Info files to fix something, well at least not in every game. I just pay the price for the game and I can be sure like 90% that I'm gonna be able to play with my friends. I can't remember a single Ubisoft game I've played without experiencing any connectivity ********. And don't get me wrong, I've moved around the world, changed ISPs, and yes, sometimes other publisher's games have kinda the same problems, but it's nothing, compared to this list:

    RS: Siege
    AC: Brotherhood
    Wildlands
    For Honor

    And, of course, the reason why I am so pissed - Far Cry 4.

    Was this addressed in any way by Ubisoft?
    What should we expect for Far Cry 5 Coop? Because if you're not fixing it, I'm not buying the game.

    Cheers.

    Right now on IPv4 peer-to-peer gaming you really need that business-class internet contract with a static IP address, which can be far more expensive (although greatly varies depending on the ISP and region). Otherwise NAT will always cause trouble, there is no way getting around the inherent limitation of having a limited address space- but to pay more for a solid spot.

    ...Or well, there is a fix: dedicated servers. But it's Ubisoft, so don't expect much on this front.
