Ubisoft details 'critical' day-one Far Cry 3 PC patch

with all the numerous patches these games need today, I wonder when some developer is gonna get the idea to charge money for them...

i didnt experience any issues with far cry 3 on pc except for random crash bug in the shop menu. Other than that considering the auto save was pretty consistant i had no issues

I don't even know how people play these ported titles, my favorite all time game was FARCRY, made from the PC, for the PC, this is just silly clunky garbage at best.

Im playing it on ps3,and the "mash"button doesnt work properly,when u get ambushed underwater on the nostalgia boat mission! Tried 50 damned times,even lowered difficulty level to easy.I cant get past this stage of the game.Feel like throwing the controller out the window-simular problem was in Quantum of solace in the occasional 3rd person fight scenes.I wish developers wldnt put these type of almost impossibble sequences.

Been playing on ps3 for a couple of days it real jerky jumpy graphics every thing works to slow like the health suringes takes forever to use sometimes relics and loot boxes dont show up where there supposed to be even tho thre shown on the map put a full clip of ak into a tiger once and he still got me then a dog bit me on the arm and i lost 3 full health bars a bit exsesive i think and the way the animals attack you whenever you need to stealthly approsch an enamy sucs 

by the time the game launches today in the US, we get 2 patches.

is it important to play far cry 1 and 2 before playing farcry 3????

The only patch that I feel is needed, is one which includes more HUD options, that obstructive oversized HUD and hand holding is really ruining the game. I even resorted to placing a cardboard cut-out over the damn mini-map, even then the constant pop ups, constant reminder to finish quests (when all you want to do is explore), and exploration is ruined with the objective marker. HUD options is what is needed in the next patch.

patchs on pc are no problem at all just 5 min and its over. and if u think patchs on a pc game is a new thing u must be new to pc gaming.and the game is pretty cool

and they couldn't fix these things BEFORE release because....?

Dang.. Quite a fair amount of hype surrounding the game. I am little disappointed with it. It could use some more polish, not even a ripple to see when you swim and it is quicker to swim when under water. Enemies shouting out "Dog" when it is a 'Deer', or enemies moving identical together in the same way. Graphics can be jarring at times when for example your in a cave and it is raining outside and just by entering the cave and exiting the cave like a light switch turns the rain off/on.. or being 10 meters away from a building that looks blank and taking steps back and forth turns the wall into the detailed area it should look. leaves don't move out of the way or at all. .. Oh well.. Surely another patch will be on it's way.

Wow, "critical" and "day-one patch" should not be in the same sentence. Don't ship out a game that is broken or unfinished. Period.

The xbox version needed a small download on day 1, so far it's superbly playable with great gameplay and everything seems solid. We Aussies got it on the 29th for consoles and so far no problem, the mulitplayer was suffering some horrendous lag but that can be put down to our p#ss poor broadband!

@wilson336 The game was originally due in September, its now due in December, I see "plenty" of time to make a finish product period.   I do not care if it takes years, that is years, to accomplish one's task to the point it is sellable period?.  All I have to know that when I put my money down, I am getting a product is playable....other's have came out with being patched and were playable...their are to many excuses for poor planning and workmanship.  You must work in sales for them.

 @sirnormanislost  I want a game that is functional...I did not pay with play money, so give me a finish product, workable, error-free as humanly possible, checked and rechecked, to insure that what one pay for is the "best" possible product, not junk.  Yes they will provide a patch, I still stand on what I stated above.

Feels like this may have been a slip up and the wrong version of the game got sent to the presses similar to Dead Island.

Remember when games were shipped complete?

hey guys its released in pakistan

Additional info is needed. Are all the problems in the PC version also present for the console versions? It's bad news for Ubisoft either way, but at least those who have or will get Far Cry 3 for the PC will have a better experience. I'll wait until there is a Steam sale, by which time no doubt anything that needs patching will be patched.

What the hell is VanOrd playing at?!

As long as the patch stabilizes bugs or problems then thats fine...though patches I will admit can be annoying I dont see much of an issue so long as the game wasnt released with a bunch of ignored issues ala AC3.

Well...."day one patch" is still better than "day one dlc" like many others i guess
