Official Far Cry 6 Thread

Woa. This is probably the first time I've ever been really impressed with Ubisoft since the Settlers back in 1992 or something

Both you and the other person downloading sharing the bandwidth.

Is it on sale yet or part of Epic giveaway ?

[DeathKnight]

I was able to preload through ubi+. Been playing for the past hour. If farcry is your thing, this game is tight! Definitely grab hd texture pack.

Yeah, just had to restart Ubisoft Connect and it's working now

The internet is saying that the texture pack actually needs 11GB of vram, if you have 10 or less, you will have some texture streaming issues, but no performance penalty.

Texture pack with all settings on ultra at 1440p - only using a little under 6gb of vram according to the game *shrugs*.

I believe this is the same nonsense from the last AMD sponsored game. Put it 1GB over the Nvidia Card and make it look like you need a new AMD card with 12GB.

Or the nV card with 12 or more?

I'm going to max this bitch out and see where it tells me I am at with VRAM if it even displays it. Most of us peasants are still on the 3080.

Will be true when Billy finally breaks loose with another biking accident to pay for his 3k 7900XT.

Far Cry 6 is some of the most fun I’ve had with this series in nearly a decade. Its cast delivers strong performances across an enjoyable story, even if it’s also a fairly predictable one that doesn’t always land the bigger swings it tries to take. And despite some faltering new inventory mechanics and a handful of bizarre design choices, its creative weaponry means taking down an outpost, ransacking a convoy, or even just taking a ride with a buddy has never felt better.

8/10

Finished preloading the game and texture pack earlier. 4 hours until it unlocks here.

Looks like more of the same although now it is the lowest rated mainline Far Cry game so far. Strange that Primal has a lower rating though, that game is underrated hugely.

Agreed, Primal is awesome.

Good thing I only paid $15 for it (Ubi+). I'm sure I'll have my fun with it and move on. The last Far Cry game I actually finished all the way through was 3.

This is the no-brainer way of doing it as far as I can tell. FC 6 Ultimate is $120 right now. Just pay the $15 or even $30 if you're slow and cancel it out after you're done. By the time you want to replay FC 6, FC 7 will be out, if not FC 11. And even considering that. If you really really really want to digitally own it after finishing it on Ubi+, it will eventually be on sale or given away for free.

[Megaman]

Word going around is that you need a 11GB vram GPU to load high res textures smoothly in this title.

[KAC]

Well finally that 3090 is paying off.

Only tried the benchmark so far, but have everything on Ultra at 1440P and it seemed to stick around 60 for the most part. The only annoying thing is the stupid popup in the top right of the screen whining about running out of VRAM

The game claims all these settings should only be using 5.78GB of VRAM (turning off HD textures only lowers it by 1GB).

It would be wise to wait a couple of months for the game to be patched.... Patches cannot be avoided.

Found it, thanks holmes.

[DeathKnight]

I disabled the HD texture pack for now until they fix things.

[Munkus]

Is there an obvious visual difference between HD and non-HD textures? Just wondering if it's worth the performance hit.

[acroig]

Found it, thanks holmes.

[switchAMG]

Using HD packs -- one annoyance I have -- using E to interact/pick up things is super flakey -- doesn't react quickly to an E press. You really need to **** around to get it to detect. Hope that is a bug that will be addressed because its ****ing annoying.

Other than that, plays smooth and looks "good" -- nothing mind blowing though, even with HD packs and all settings cranked.

Amazon Prime Gaming has finally got some more single player add-on content (it's pretty rare). If you have Prime you can get the Vaquero Bundle for Far Cry 6.

Indeed.



Meh tu!

[Munkus]

Signed up for Ubisoft+ just to play FarCry 6. I figure it won't take me a month to finish, so it'll only cost me $15. I skipped the HD texture pack for now. Game still looks really good at 4K with Ultra settings. Getting a steady 60fps.

[nutcrackr]

Does this have those drug-induced visions like the previous games?

Not sure yet but there is a toggle option for Poison and Drunk effects.
