    Stuttery Gameplay Is Headache Worthy

    I had a 780 classified and I got stutter so I bought 2 970's and I still get stutter, its the very same stuterry performance. Feel like an unimportant customer. The pc version should be the true Far Cry experience but no doubt the consoles get the primary focus in development. Sad to see Farcry perform like a sneeky port. The devs made a great game no doubt about it although I get taken out of the world with all the hitching and frame plummiting. I would go as far as to say it is a headache to drive in the game. It clearly is the engine streaming data too slow. Devs, why is the game stuttering?

    And then patch 1.5 was supposed to fix the stuttering, apparently via their having somewhat dumbed down distant textures (LOD tweaks). But that's not all, it actually introduced a problem of it's own by way of a massive memory leak.

    The only good news at this point is they finally acknowledged they're aware of the memory leak and are working on it, after stonewalling us for several days with no replies to the obvious problem.

    Most of their games are a coding mess anymore. Seems like they're designed from the engine up to run best on consoles, while the PC version "solution" continues to be sabotaged graphics ever since Watch Dogs.
