Just wanted to provide a further update. I can confirm as was stated by someone in a previous post that the crashes were significantly reduced after completing the first region (Jacob's region). I have now managed to finish the game, all main content, side quests and locations. It took roughly 18 hours to complete the first region (with many many crashes), and 45 hours overall.
After completing Jacob's region I experienced just six crashes, nothing compared to the frequent crashes every few minutes before.
They happened as follows:
3 crashes while fast travelling back to Jacob's region to complete side quests and fishing/hunting activities (froze on loading screen with Jacob's image).
2 crashes while travelling in Faith's region, once in a car, the second in a helicopter. Unlike in the videos I posted, this was not immediately after entering the vehicle.
1 crash in John's region immediately after interacting with a supply truck's lever.
Like before, these are total freezes that require the game to be manually force closed from the console's home screen.
Elsewhere, I want to add that this is the only game from dozens that made the PS5 fan audible. The console did not feel hot, but the fan was operating higher than with any other of the roughly 60 games I've tried on it.
Thanks, I do hope something is done about this. Like I've just posted, it is possible to power through the initial region, but it does not totally solve the issue.Originally Posted by MyVirtueMyVice Go to original post
Hi there, First Farcry game I've ever played and was really looking forward to it.
I purchased the digital download of this on Thursday and have so far played 14 hours of it and it has crashed about 6 times now.
The first was after getting eyes plane back and coming into land at his airfield.
The second was after I recovered the testy festy truck and trailer for Casey and I was about 800 metres from getting back to town to drop it off and it hung on me. The exact same error mentioned above was given in the error report.
It's quite disappointing really and I will hold off from buying farcry 6 if it is going to be like this.
Hi there,
Is there any update on this issue? I've tried steps posted in this post, still experiencing the issue. Does the team need a video repro with logs? If so I'll gladly share them if it helps resolve this issue, I'm on a brand new PS5 and I thought id pick up FC5 until some of the games i was looking forward to came out.
