    SLI gpu's Blacked out shadows persist, game remains UNPLAYABLE

    As others have confirmed :
    - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost...&postcount=609
    - http://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/comme.../shadow_issue/

    Shadow issues remain when playing the game on SLI with nvidia gpu's. Does anyone now a solution?
    I'm on the latest patch. Game is totally blacked out at night. Performance is great with 2x 660TI, hope this gets fixed soon.

    Fix this please!

    Cmon guys,

    You release a driver, that is supposed to be "Working" and it only makes the game unplayable to those with SLI?

    I have a 670SLI setup, and shadows are just impossible to see, makes the game UNPLAYABLE at night.

    When turning off SLI all is fine.

    Please look into this

    You can get rid of burn in by turning the shadows down to High. You can make it looks normal by disabling SLI. Using the Nvidia control panel. I sure wish it just worked properly. Amazingly Unity works way better for me. This was supposed to be the good PC game.

    I have the problem too [EDITED] UBISOFT. Test your games before selling them. We are not your BETA TESTERS. We are you customers. I am [EDITED] off buying your unfinished ********. This is the last straw for me. The stuttering, the mouse acceleration and now this.

    Disabling SLI is not really an option for me, don't want to turn down settings. Settings shadows to high or low doesn't make any difference for me.

    Most of the fixes posted here resolved my mouse accel and stuttering issues: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost...49&postcount=1

    But the fact that we had to wait for a driver update and now this MAYOR bug really annoys me, stop treating your customers as beta testers. I only pre-ordered this game because I really loved far cry 3, but even there I'd had to use a manual compatibility bit to get SLI non-stuttering. Should have expected this ****.

    Ubisoft Montreal, get that ****ing french bread out of your *** and fix it!

    Same here. The lighting looks broken when using sli on my 970gtx's. Unfortunately I need both to get good performance in the game.

    I too am suffering with these horribly dark shadows - got eaten by some wolves because I couldn't see them (funny, but not so funny). Gets better when I disable SLI however it then starts to look like PowerPoint.

    When creating this topic I also contacted support with Reference Number 01733949. But please be aware that this game remains unplayable for nvidia SLI users. More users with example screenshots here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost...&postcount=711
