    REQUEST to have featured map updated on other platforms

    Hey Ubisoft mods and devs, I created this thread because I would like to request to have my featured map, Black Gold, updated on the other platforms (PS4, Xbox One) to the current version on PC. Should this be possible? This update I recently made to the map should be the final update to the map and thanks to the addition of the new Invisible Block and Kill Region objects, allowed me to resolve the exploitable and problematic areas on the map. This update should only have a minuscule impact on its intended gameplay from the previous version.




    In addition, should this process be possible for Ubisoft to do, I'll also help other community members in this thread to request that they have their featured map updated on the other platforms the map was not originally created on. I'll provide an example format below to make things easier:

    Map name: Black Gold
    Original platform: PC
    Map link:
    https://far-cry-arcade.ubi.com/en-us...88ea34f85c0e4e

    Purpose of update:
    Resolved exploitable and problematic areas on the map thanks to the addition of the new Invisible Block and Kill Region objects.

    I second this request for my TAW_Normandy map, since update 7 (or 8) some objects changed/moved in editor, impacting my map in rather big way.
    On the original PC version I fixed everything, but probably console version are broken now.

    Map Name: TAW_Normandy
    Original platform: PC
    Map link: https://far-cry-arcade.ubi.com/pc/ma...ae8f967cbd2326

    Ouch, that's no good. Hey, hopefully it can be updated on consoles and be fixed soon, man.

    Hi there guys,

    We've let the Arcade team know about your request. They may be able to port the updated maps for you
    I'll get back to you by the end of the week hopefully, but I don't think it should be too much trouble!

    Cheers,
    CJ

    I know the map by IZOOLEE called GREEN VALLEY TDM is a lot different now compared to the one available on XB1 / PS4 it has received updates to the PC version, would love to see that one re-featured.

    Be aware that you will lose all the map stats except on the original platform version because ubi will take the updated version from original platform then reupload the new updated versions as a new file not an update to the current cross platform file. they will be published under the ubi name as a new map file with zero stats.

    Thanks for explaining that.
    As a map builder what would you want though ratings on a map which is a poorer version or people to play the best version of your map which resets the ratings ?
    Personally I would want people to enjoy the map and play the up to date version but we all think differently.

    It's always better for players to play the latest fixed/best versions but i only wanted to give them a heads up because it may come as a shock to some mappers to see a stat reset.

    Awesome! Thanks for letting us know! My map has already been updated on PS4.

    Thanks but this is actually not the case here. Judging from the map thumbnail, Black Gold has already been updated on PS4 and it has thankfully retained its stats.
