yesterday I bought Far Cry 5 as my first entry to Far Cry and my second Ubisoft game . Sadly i feel like I just bought another Bethesda game, as game for no reason on my fairly new (last summer) bough PC freezes for short second or 2 and crashes to desktop,i keep sending those crash reports but that is little consolation to me ,oh and if game crashes,it doesn't save any progress for long time. yesterday I lost almost hour worth of progress since game after crash did NOT sinc with cloud. Often game crashes after 10 to 20 minutes making it unplayable at the moment. Does UBISOFT fix their games,or should I ask for refund ?
Mate there are a lot of us having this problem... Ubisoft has no idea how to fix it. i have been battling since day one, and there is no fix as yet... If i were you i would refund, and wait until a few patches come out. I have had a ticket with ubisoft for a month now, and they keep giving me the run around...
There could be many reasons for the crash can you please try the steps in our PC Troubleshooting FAQ
Please let me know how you get on.
The only solution I've found is to reduce the # of cores. with start /affinity 55 farcry5.exe ( even # cores on an I7 and 2K monitor). Otherwise the game is not really playable.
Though when running on my 4K TV, I don't need to do this, so there may be something related to output resolution or rather high frame rates.
