    I'm having problems even starting the game - I have load times of around five minutes getting to the main menu and then I get the black screen problem. I have to keep alt-tabbing out and back in so as to get the game to refresh the screen.

    Sound like I have the USB bug I heard about, but I'm not prepared to test this myself as I NEED all my connected USB devices - keyboard, mouse, 360 gamepad, wireless NIC, external soundcard - so there's no point unplugging anything.

    I am impressed at the idiocy of this port - it's been a long time since I literally could not even get a brand new game to start.

    This is on patch 1.5, with the 344.75 drivers.

    EDIT: problem goes away if I unplug my 360 controller. Problem is, I have no intention of playing this game without my 360 controller. So that's a conundrum.

    Just tested 1.5.0. Initial findings: stuttering is a bit improved, not but a lot but at least were making progress, the shadow bug caused by PCSS (mostly in northern kyrat where it's snowing) is still there but at least you can now disable it from the options (soft shadows), before I had to edit the xml file to remove PCSS.

    My impressions after playing for few hours with 1.5:
    - Stutter is definitely reduced and that's for real, not some placebo effect.
    - Nvidia PCSS still messes up all shadows in Northern Kyrat and snowy areas, Ultra is fine.
    - Nvidia Hairworks (Simulated Fur) is completely useless for me because in some relatively rare situations the framerate can drop with 20-25 FPS, which makes the game unplayable.
    - Some people say that Nvidia godrays (Enhanced) are broken in 1.5 but I don't think so, they look fine for me.

    I'm with single GTX Titan and driver v344.75.

    Ok stuttering MUCH BETTER, black shadows - seems fine. The game seems to bee much better but... for the love of God... Why remove FOV slider in ultra widescreen?
    default fov is unbearable.

    Sorry, but "Added 21:9 support" should not mean "edit the config file if you want to make basic changes." (Regardless of the placement in the menu, FOV is a basic setting for FPS.)

    1. Stuttering reduced only when third CPU core is disabled.
    2. Significantly worse performance than before: framedrops all over the place, even to 45 FPS.
    3. Triple buffering is broken. Need to press Alt+Enter two times to fix this.
    4. nVidia God rays reduced to hardly noticeable level.
    5. Save game system is not working; nothing is being saved.
    6. Music removed from loading screen.
    7. It takes twice the time to load the game.

    Keep up the great work!
