Ubisoft investigating Far Cry 4 crashes, data corruption

4.7
Ubisoft is investigating a number of problems reported by Far Cry 4 players.

While a day one patch released alongside the game on Tuesday rectified a number of known issues, a few more have since come to light.

The primary issues currently being investigated are listed below, via Ubisoft's live updates site.

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.

PS3 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.

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.


Alex Hutchinson, creative director at Ubisoft Montreal, has also delivered a message to PC players unable to locate the game's field of view control.

PC players! If you're online complaining about the lack of FOV control ... You pirated the game.

Many This month has been terrible for gamers, every game developer is copping out and not doing thorough testing before putting the games on the shelf, they're using the consumers as the bug testers, which IMO just is plain wrong.


Gosh i know! every game released has problems, cant they fix or test out the bugs before its released?

-Myth_ It happens all the time with new games, give it a couple of weeks and it'll be fine :)


Yeah its fine now, Glad to see they fixed it.

ConsolePosted:

I think this is a great game. Of course it's going to have issues when it first comes out.

DeluxeHazardPosted:

Of course FC4 is going to have issues on the first week, but at least they will be fixed. Also, good job to Ubisoft for screwing over people who pirate the game.

Nuka It seems like every new game that comes out has some sort of data lose.. Really sad to see this happening.

It usually happens with new games, it's just minor things they don't catch before releasing the game.
