Guess I know why it’s on sale now..
I wonder if I can get my money back because it’s not working, if I try all these supposed fixes much longer I’ll have run the game too long to have steam refund me.
I just did the Uplay reinstall, still doesn’t work.
Thanks for wasting my time, I submitted a ticket and requested a refund.
Looks like you’re selling a broken product to me.
Really?! HOW ABOUT FIX THE PROBLEM EVERYONE IS HAVING WITHIN 3 YEARS?! Idont see one single useful reply to a clearly endemic issue. I too am running a RX 480. It is pretty obvious it is an AMD driver issue. FIX it! Or tell us how to besides the same old basic troubleshooting mantra. I even upgraded my CPU, RAM, and Mobo. Still no.luck. I fact it played better on my FX-9590 w/DDR3 than it does on a Zen 3 with 16GB of DDR4!
It is not hardware related or internet. It's not.like I cam get a new GPU. I would be lucky to find one as good as the 480. It plays Squadrons in VR fine and other much newer games. Telling people to send and wait for a reply from a ticket is a slap in the face. Just don't bother replying. I'm sure as in many of these developer forums, one of the people having the issue will discover and share the FIX eventually. There is prob a reason this "necro" thread is at the top of Google search results when you search "far cry 5 running slow". Get on it! I've already wasted hours and hours of my ti.e to use something I paid too much for, it's the least you can do!
