    uplay and steam

    I have a pc that barely runs far cry 3 even with the ultra low mod, at minimum resolution. to play online, however I need uplay. uplay steals what little excess I have after steam is running to play it with no lag. I could have used the drm versions, but I wanted to be legit. I actually wanted multiplayer. can we steam users not have a patch that integrates ubi online with our game instead of having a whole extra client in the background hogging up our resources? I mean im sorry fanboys if it is a sin to be too poor to afford a decent computer I, along with some others in my shoes cant just get a new GAMER QUALITY desktop or even laptop. some of us just cant do it.
    I got my copy of far cry 3 on steam sale on a discount for 10 bucks. I love the game, but hate that uplay takes my ability to play and just throws it away. I am only speaking for steam users. can you not make a workaround? Im not saying dont try to fight piracy, It is wrong. uplay is no threat to piracy, if anything, It will make it worse. listen to the customers please. have uplay for people who will use it, but do not force it steam users.

    2014 - fc4

    Aftera long time I wanted to see what has changed in fc3 mp, re-installing the whole game, uplay and the latest patch(1.05)... so I played online for a few days and,
    without surprise, I saw that nothing was changed!! The same reasons that led me to stop playing are still present!!!
    To tell the truth there has been a change, the old problems make fc3 as the worst mp game of all times!
    As we know, a game can survive only with a good mp system..but, thanks to the total incompetence ubisoft programmers is not possible for fc3:
    the code for this mp was shameful and still is even more shocking!
    I wish to appeal not only to those who follow the series since the first episode (by Crytek) but to all those who have spent money to have a full title, because the money spent, were true and were all

    +What has changed
    in BattleMix, I enter into the lobby where I read only me in list and see chat other players, whit 1 playerl left to play, but it never starts, and so amazing for days!
    cheaters are incrmentati exponentially and they play undisturbed! and I am struggling to identify the types to what I've been(in a single game I think it was three or more...)
    Lag and Migration have increased, the days it is impossible to play!!
    Finally a specific chat for team!!! (a game designed purely for teams only, we had to wait until the fifth patch for it, incredible!!)

    +What has not changed
    accepting an invitation from a friend, fc3 crashes!!
    entering certain lobbyies, fc 3 crashes!!
    playing in some lobbies still take suicides without cause!!
    playing in some lobbies i get kick at the beginning without having fired a shot, or after a short time, and for no reason.
    probably the same problem related to punkbuster (which made impossible to play ranked matches in fc2)
    leaving from some lobby saying "...insufficient number of players" (but my friends are still in the game)
    entering certain lobbyies by joining to some friends in game, I answered in two ways:
    1 - "impossible to join session not found" (but my friends are still in the game)
    2 - "impossible to join game" ( my friends are still in the game)
    In some lobby continuous and multiple host migrations failing, which locks the screen (is impossible to get out, only by alt+f4)
    In some lobby lag is constant and uncontrollable
    Transmission and Firestorm modes are always empty, after adding BattleMix what sense do they have? maybe it was better to have Deathmatch mode (code too difficult for ubi programmers)
    Friends list is not sorted alphabetically, between related that are not connected and unconnected(still a code too difficult for ubi-programmers)

    many of these bug had to be corrected with the latest patch 1.05 ??? ahahahhaah (all of these problems already reported in my old post.)

    Well, I think I was ****ed for good this time, so, I do not know if 2014 will be the year of FC4 (I do not think so)but I invite everyone to not buy FC4, whitout an officially and good comprehensive preview on the multiplayer system (as well strategically avoided and/or hidden for FC3!)
    if ubi will again present a mp as FC3, please reassign the title to Crytek :for this I'll pay any amount!!!!!

    of course now I no longer want to have fc3 on my pc : it is dead and buried!!! happy new year and good luck to all (and sorry for my little eng)

    This Game was never about the online Multi Player IMO. The thing that distinguishes this game is the single player and the 4 player co-op mode.

    Single player mode was made even better with the introduction of ziggy's mod.

    The Friends list is alphabetical.. It shows your online contacts then below that people are alphabetical.

    It sounds like you have some user side problems to go along with the numerous amount of Ubisoft side bugs that there are. But My self any all my friends who play this have no problem getting together at anytime and playing co-op.

    Lags and bugs are part of Dunia Engine we can't change this, UBI, is to lazy to fix some things they prefer single player, multi is only for a one week like some bonus thats all.Far Cry 1 was much better and look players still playing on the servers (only when some noobs not using programs to crash servers, UBI don't want stop them so we have dead good game) FC2 and FC3 on Dunia Engine what we can do as admins? nothing we can't set max ping for player we can't browse our favourites servers like in Far Cry 1 by Crytek. Far Cry 1 was and he is the best levolution game for me he have many good things in sandbox editor you can create playable maps set your server setting even in game you can set almost all important settings now look at FC2 and FC3 what they have? nothing! ok ok Fc2 have a little admin but this is nothing same will be in FC4 because ubi copying all good and bad ideas from the other games but they forgot one thing dedicate servers are most important to create multiplayer community so they losing many fans on the world this is sad but we know why.

    the original post is "farcry 3 multiplayer feedback on the pc" ? ..... ok here's my feedback... FIX IT...

    WHY when there are 500 players online (according to the game) do i get put in my own empty lobby SO OFTEN? .... like 99 times out of 100...
    keep in mind... if the multiplayer WORKED.... you could have several thousand players on at any time... but because its gash... it has so very few.

    WHY does UPLAY have to ruin the game?

    WHY do i get random lags "when the game see's fit" ..... i hardly ever lag.. yet farcry 3 has some WEIRD pingtimes.... like.... a ping of 50ms ALL through a game... will suddenly spike up to 500ms.... then drop back down.?

    WHY do you spend so much time and money making an awesome game.... then crap all over the faces of the people who want to play the multiplayer...

    WHY do you not pay more attention to the multiplayer... it could've been an awesome gamechanger.... instead its just MEH?!

    WHY , do they not FIX THE MULTIPLAYER now that they know it is broken??!

    And why... pray tell...... did Nubisoft decide to defecate all over a perfectly good franchise....??

    А вот такой неприятный сюрприз нам сделали разработчики, поиграть можно временами, иногда просто вылетает, иногда не подключается, баг на баге

    Some say Far Cry 3 is all about the single player and not so much about the multi-player. I disagree, both are important. If you're going to create something and sell it, you need to be sure the package is complete. You wouldn't sell a cake with icing only on the top layer. If you're going to do business, it's your responsibility to make the customer happy or else find a new line of work.
    For the past few days, I have been trying to upload a map that I had uploaded before. Everything checks out in the validation for team deathmatch.
    There is no reason the map should not upload. I really believe this is on your side and I'd like this problem to be addressed. If I can't upload maps, there's no point making one.

    The multi-player has other problems. Random suicides, no vehicles. A feature available in Instincts. I'm sure that every customer of yours would appreciate it if you would show us some courtesy for being a customer. Without the customer, you will be out of business. Without us, you're nothing and you know it.

    I'd warn anyone thinking about buying this game, DO NOT. You will regret it.

    If you do, enjoy random suicides, not being able to upload your map, and enjoy the fact that the weapons are terrible at doing any real damage. There's also some glitches. Such as seeing an enemy go through a wall and stab you!
    I very much dislike that I bought a broken game. These problems should have been fixed before the game was shipped. I understand Ubisoft Massive made the multi-player and they should all be fired for being so lazy and incompetent. After giving this game plenty of chances, I have as of today, put it into the trash. I did complete the single player and the single player was the only enjoyable thing about the game.
