Ubisoft was planning to release new patch Far Cry 4 today, however due to unforeseen circumstances this patch was pushed to sometime early next week. This update will fix – among other things – the black screen issue that some PC gamers have been experiencing.
As Ubisoft’s Megan posted on Steam forums:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances this patch may be pushed to sometime early next week. We apologize for the inconvenience, and will update you if we have a new ETA.”
Ubisoft is working hard to get the patch out as soon as possible, or at least what’s the French company is claiming.
For your interest, we did not receive today our review code for Far Cry 4. We don’t know whether Ubisoft did not send one due to the aforementioned issues of its latest patch, however – and since we know that you’re waiting for our analyses (for both this title and Dragon Age: Inquisition) – we’ve purchased it and our article will go live this weekend.
Let’s hope that Electronic Arts will send us a review code for Dragon Age: Inquisition sooner than later.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Here is a how Far Cry 4 looks at Max Settings & 1080p/60fps on a GTX 980:

And how does it look on 1600p? Since 970 can run it up to 1600p i will play it on 1600 [ through DSR (i have 1080 p monitor) when i get 970 next week
You will get over 30 fps but do not expect Max Settings & 1600p/60fps with a GTX 970.
That’s okay, you don’t need every setting set to “Max” in order for the game to look gorgeous.
MOTHER OF GOD, THE FOURTH PATCH ON LESS THAN ONE WEEK, this only happen on a F’ING UBILOL GAME, well done UBI, WELL DONE
This patch will be the second version of the second patch.
so now patches have patches?
Patches can get patches, sure, but that’s not what happened here. Apparently a patch went out that fixed the black screen issue for many people, but then later that day they rolled back the patch, planned it for an as-yet-to-be-determined date and the black screens came back. People are pissed.
far cry 4 run worse on nvida 600 and 700 series even amd 7870 can beat gtx 680 and amd 7970ghz beat 780 soo far cry 4 only optimized for gtx 900 series
What you talking about?At max setting it runs good on both kepler and maxwell.

I assume it’s the ultra pre-set and not with MSAA because if that’s without MSAA it’s wrong. I can keep above 30fps on ultra 1080+ plus 2xMSAA on my R9 280.
Go and check techspot see far cry 4 benchmark I cant put the link cause dsogaming keep removing it its not a six site its a f’ING gaming site
Goo and check techspot website I can’t post the link cause its waiting approved and they will never approved it goo check it if u dont believe me
Fix the stuttering, in totalbiscuits video the framerate constantly dropped for a second to 60 or below from the normal 90. He also said that one of his CPU cores were in 100% use all the time when others weren’t.
I noticed the same thing, was weird when he mentioned it in his video.
CPU 1 usage is low, but hits 90-100% in menus
CPU 2-4-5-6-7-8 low usage
CPU 3 : 90-100% all the time.
This is how it runs on my 780m (slightly OC) laptop with an i7-4700MQ ( 3.2ghz quadcore ). GPU performance should be between a gtx 660 and gtx 760.

Check out this screenshot of Far Cry 4 @1080p, Ultra Settings!!
Absolutely amazing! Is that the Wii U version?
Looks like the Xbox version, can’t you tell from the lower ress? ;p
xbox version is 1080P,
Both you guys are wrong – clearly this is the PC version.
CLEARLY and obviously we are both wrong. 🙂
So next gen. 🙂 I guess the wait was totally worth it!
You have been warned, lol.
My Far Cry 4 (after a lot of tweaking) runs and looks great. Better than I thought it would, actually.
That’s a real shame some people can’t play it, though, especially over the weekend.
What kind of tweaking have you done, and what kind of specs do you have?
I have a Q9550, GTX 670 FTW.
I used the GPUMaxBufferedFrames=”0″ tweak, plus I messed with the in-game settings a ton. You can try these settings if you want:

same here works great
nice awesome dude, the next gen is here!
Why release game thats not finished!?!?
it is?
You could have fooled me, seeing as how my entire game is a black screen. How the hell do you call that finished?
Simple, because its a damned bug. Just because YOU got it doesn’t mean its like that for everyone. Happily playing on my xbox one. Yes, there are glitches. That is not the same damned thing as not finished though. Its all par for the course for pc gaming, having errors like yours is commonplace for computers and they always will be.

agghhhh, waiting for this patch to make the game playable on SLI setups 🙁
