They really overdid it on the drugged out trippy scenes. Way too many of them in the game IMO.

At night you cant see shite, WTB a light source. How do I craft syringes, I have all these leaves and cant find how to craft with them?

I have this weird imprint that I can see on my scree it's barely visible but you can make out that it's something. I'm guessing it's a graphical glitch and not a "memory" thing in the game that will be revealed later.

Yeah this game is so full of bullshite. It has a save function but no load function, I save and when I reload my save was worthless. I am half way up a tower that is a bitch and now it's night and I have no light source.

I'm hesitant about buying this game. Is it worth the 60 bucks?

SLI issue. You should be able to see perfectly at night.

Either:

1. Play offline (that seemed to fix it)

2. Play with a single card

Tons of other tweaks I can offer a little later when I have time to type more.

All said, the game will still stutter a bit because Ubisoft. But, I've eliminated pretty much every other problem.

Are you using HBAO? I have mine at SSAO because I get fewer frame drops/stutters that way.

This is night time for me at its darkest:




Just remembered the fix so that SLI works. I applied it in Nvidia inspector, not the control panel. Download NVIDIA Inspector.

Open nvidia inspector and click the item in red below:





Navigate to the Far Cry 4 profile using the drop-down box (in blue). Copy and paste the following into SLI Compatibility bits (DX1x):

0x081902F5 (Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon DLC, Far Cry 3)

Copy and paste the following into SLI compatibility bits:

0x02402C05 (Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon DLC, Far Cry 3)

Click "APPLY CHANGES" at the top right corner.

Rebooooot.

One easily fixable quirk: With this SLI profile applied, sometimes when you first launch the game, outdoor lighting/textures flicker like crazy. To fix it, simply alt tab out of the game and then back in. All fixed.


More Fixes from the Internets to Help with Stuttering:

Go to NVIDIA control panel and select farcry4.exe and copy these settings:






Then, go to Document > My Games > Far Cry 4 and open GamerProfile.xml in WordPad. Change the two items in red below:


Save and close.

Reboot PC.

This is what I see when it's night and no type of light around. If there is a light source around I can see.



I will try those fixes later, I am done gaming for the night.

I put 28 hours into it and even though I beat the main mission I have only completed 35% of the game. Well worth it to me.

I've really enjoyed this so far. Game looks gorgeous. Just finished unlocking all of the southern half of the map and just saved the temple from the attack.

1. frick those damn eagles
2. I didn't realize all I ever wanted in life was to be able to ride an elephant and kill people with throwing knives. Now I know

This games save system sucks arse. I just flew to to tower, completed it, zipped to the ground and then had a BSD crash, AND yep I have to do it all over again. Don't think I will finish this piece of junk.

The save system was the same with FC3. More importantly, why'd you blue screen?

Yeah the loaded a bunch of shite in this game. I now need a syringe to complete a quest that I also have to buy the previous perk for, FC3 didn't do this bullshite. The game is good when it isn't getting in the way of itself.

Did you ever play FC3? its literally the same thing just slightly better graphics, less story, more vehicles. I'm liking it better than FC3

I'd personally wait for a price drop only because its one of those games that I'll put around 20 hours into and never touch again. Definitely worth a rental.

If you havent played FC3, Id pick that up cheap (<$10) during a sale. by the time you finish it you will know if you like FC games and FC4 will be cheaper

I'm not a huge fan of the multiplayer so far. This is Far Cry, there should be massive team death match game modes on custom maps with vehicles. They have gone away from that for some reason.

Also, the mission where I'm going to assassinate Paul, holy crap is it hard. I'm stuck trying to free the three hostages. There are so many damn guards. The second I free someone, a guard sees them and sounds the alarm.
