Ubisoft is currently investigating several performance issues of “Far Cry 4” across all platforms.
According to the official “Far Cry” blog, developers have released a “Day 1 Patch” for those experiencing gameplay, performance and connectivity problems. However, a second patch will be released for the list of major issues gamers are reporting below:
1. PC Crashes: “Some players have been reporting problems loading the game that result in a crash that manifests as a black screen. We have been able to reproduce this internally. While we are just starting to investigate this, our initial findings suggest that this may be the result of the presence of certain peripherals that are causing conflicts.”
2. PlayStation 3 Corruption: “We have seen reports from PS3 players that they are receiving a message reading 'Game Data is corrupt. Please delete FC3 game data.' While the message suggests this would be limited to players who had also played Far Cry 3 on the same console, we are receiving similar reports from players who have not played FC3. If you are submitting reports about this issue, please clarify if you've played Far Cry 3 or Blood Dragon on the same console.”
3. Pre-Order Code Redemption: “Players who pre-ordered the game were told that they would receive an email with a redemption code for the 'Blood Ruby' bonus mission in advance of the game's release. Some players have reported that they did not yet receive this email, and some players have reported that they did receive the email but it was missing a valid code.”
Ubisoft is encouraging gamers to report performance issues to its live blog here. “Far Cry 4” is now available for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC.
