i understand most new games have problems but this new far cry 3 outdid itself....i expect a few patches before everything runs smooth but this is ridiculous.....hard locks my brand new pc so i have no choice but to hit the reset on the pc....YES i have all the patches....YES all my drivers are up to date.....i even went as far as to do a full reformat and start fresh and still no better....and further more this entire direction of uplay is ridiculous....i do not want to play online and i see no reason whatsoever to log onto any application to play a single player game...i never even had a single glitch with future soldier and now i'm stuck trying to do the "devs" jobs for them....seriously ubisoft step up and patch this game... BTW i run a i7 2700k stock clocked,690 gtx stock clocked asus z77 sabertooth with win 7 ultimate 64
im having similiar issues in multiplayer where my game will lock up and i cant even alt f4 or access my task manager and am forced to push the power button off and on and gritting my teeth every time i have to do this and yes everything in my system is up to date and my specs should have no issues running the game
yes i did....as soon as this happened i tried future soldier, no problems.....i also tried max payne 3 no problems......i did also have the common load up freezes and that allowed me to ctrl alt del my way out of it or alt tab out of it ....these hardlocks worry my quite bit....i've had games crash or freeze or stop responding before but this hardlocking i have NEVER experienced before with any game....this wouldn't bother me if i were playing on my older system but this is a brand new and very expensive watercooled monster and it shouldn't behave live this.....
I bought a new video card just for this game, and the game freezes within a minute or so of playing. I ended up putting my old card back in and the game's been fine since. For the record I upgraded from a HD5570 to a HD7770 (then downgraded again to get the game to work). New card works fine with other games; Rage, Borderlands - except FC2. FC2 also freezes on the new card (no problems playing that on the 5570) . So, something with the Dunia engine and what it pushes onto some (newer) GPU's?
