Hello.
I bought Far Cry 3 a couple of days ago and I've loved the game so far. My computer isn't great, but it runs the game at 20fps on low, and I am a species of PC gamer which has evolved to find 10-20fps bearable and playable. Other than the FPS, the game is fine.... mostly. I have the infamous Scope/Crosshair glitch, which I haven't been able to find a working fix for yet, but I've just avoided sniper rifles and different bow sights to get around it. ut now I've found an extremely annoying glitch, especially for the Golden Tiger mission. I got around it by knifing the Black Panther to death, but this ****ing Tiger is a little *******, so I have to post this now. The Bow Hunt quests ask me to use a bow with NORMAL arrows to kill a special animal. I haven't even gotten to the point in the story where you get to craft explosive or incendiary arrows. I assume you get a warning when you've got these equipped, like the one you get when you're using a weapon that isn't a bow. Well, I'll get to the point. I'm fairly sure the arrows I fire are normal arrows, but if I hit any special animal with a normal arrow from the bow, it fails the mission. I've seen Far Cry 3 videos, and I've seen people beat these bow hunts, and I've seen the tips of the arrows they use. They look exactly the same as the ones I use. But the mission still fails as soon as the animal is hit, and it says MISSION FAILED (Didn't use Bow/Normal Arrows). This is especially annoying for the Golden Tiger as he kills quicker than the Black Panther.
Please help. I've found no-one with the same problem after countless searches.
I am using a legitimate version of Far Cry 3, since I bought it off steam for 2-3 quid during the second day of the Steam Summer sale.
Is this a sort of thing that is activated when the game detects mods are being used? I'm only using 1 mod, which allows most attachments on most guns (Silencers on shotties, ACOG sight on PKM), and changes the PKM's fire rate from the default one to one closer to its IRL fire rate.
Help.
Yeah, actually got past all of the bow hunts so far using the knife, without animal repellent because I decided to unlock all the upgrades and the north island before contunuing with the main quest, so I didn't get the animal repellent until after that...Originally Posted by Butcherbird59 Go to original post
Well, I just unlocked the last one, and there's the last bow hunt:
The Maneater shark.
You can knife it to death, but it's a slow and annoying-as-**** proccess, mainly because he's underwater. Animal repellent doesn't work on acquatic animals, and the bow with regular arrows still insta-fails the mission.
I've looked everywhere, but apparently I'm just special. No on in the 3 year history of this game has had this bug before. Just my ****ng luck, I guess.
I'm giving up on FC3 until that maneater shark dies. Until the 2 stupid-*** annoying glitches I have are gone.
Yes, cough, under water the repellent does not work but you can ease that mission's pain..
remember you only need to kill the maneater with the bow .. the other sharks just sink 'em (gun down). For the maneater there is another drug (Untouchable) available that makes you temporarily invincible.. use that one and go get that fish!
I can't help you with the crosshair glitch since I never used a scope with the bow.
