Far Cry 5 Game Breaking Bug Forces Players to Start Over

If there’s one thing we know from playing Far Cry 5, it’s that Hope County is one hell of a dangerous place. From the blood-lusting citizens, to the frenzy berserk bears, no matter where you are you are never to safe. And while the game certainly supplies you with enough tools to fend for your life, it seems that there is an even nastier danger out there. A danger that could force you to restart the entire campaign.

Im surprised that they only allow you two saves, one manual and one auto

Axel-Foley2599d ago

The reason they are doing that is so you don't let a friend use your Ubisoft account and each have a save place. You can't even let other people use your computer and have a different save option. It's super scummy!

IMO, it's to screw over people that have families and force them to buy multiple copies of the game. Ubisoft should just let you have a family sharing option just like steam. They never will though!

TheSaint2598d ago

You know you can just use a different account?

chris2352598d ago

why would they? minus a few people are buying the second copy.

Sono4212598d ago

seriously do not understand N4G the entire substance of this article is the video, these few lines of text do nothing but describe what is going on in the video, it's simlpy fluff, filler. Yet if the direct link to the Youtube video was linked it would be denied because "You can't use Youtube as a source" I've said it before and i'll say it again, N4G already gets news later than everywhere else because they aren't the ones making the articles, it's simply links to other articles getting posted. This silly policy only slows down the flow of information. For instance, the second a Red Dead 2 trailer dropped on youtube an N4G user could simply link the Youtube video then put a small piece of text explaining the trailer just dropped and maybe say the release date if there is one. Instead this isn't even an option because N4G has some Youtube bias for literally no reason so instead we have to wait for some other "News" site to write an article about said video and then post that to N4G and wait for it to get approved, it's just nonsense.

This isn’t really a UBisoft screwup, it’s a byproduct of autosave. I don’t care what game you are playing, if it auto saves at an inopportune time… The exact same thing is going to happen. I guess after you do anything decent, you should probably save it yourself, just to make sure this doesn’t happen. I know I’m going to now. I just never thought about this before.

DillyDilly2599d ago

If it auto saves at a bad time & that screw things up its a dev problem if they never noticed this thats also a problem

TheCommentator2599d ago

It's one of my cardinal rules: Always have a backup. When a game allows it I'll rotate through a couple of back ups just to make extra sure I don't lose everything.

Better safe than sorry!

nucky642599d ago

agreed. I had this issue once in kingdom of amalar - I got stuck in a cave and had to restart the game. ever since, I always have a backup that's close to my current progress.

Tru_Blu2599d ago

I was so close to level 70 on all characters in diablo 3 when my hard drive failed. Guess who didn't have a backup save for that game...Still hurts thinking about it after a few months lol

Servbot412599d ago

There is no excuse for autosave issues anymore. Games should automatically make multiple autosave slots the user can pull from, along with backups during every story progression the user makes.

DaleCooper2599d ago

I can agree with this. Dishonored 2 allows multiple auto saves and a quick save option on console, it's really nice.

DragonKnight2599d ago

Dark Souls autosaves and this problem never happens.

Benchm4rk2598d ago

The developers should of addressed this in development. Auto saves aren't a new thing. I've had similar instances in Halo games where as soon as I respawn I die and after about 5 to 10 times of it happening the game reverts to the previous auto save.

Just grab the saved stored on the cloud and replace it.

Has anyone been able to manually save the game? It wont let me.

Nitrowolf22599d ago

The manual save is tricky.

Rather than appear grayed out during parts you cant save in, it disappears all together. And then when it does show up i assume you just hit it and thats it, doesnt take you to an overwrite screen or anything, so you kind of have to hope it saved

Snookies122599d ago

Wow, that sounds really dumb... Why would they do that? The game looks like a lot of fun, but that's just counter-intuitive design right there.

DaleCooper2599d ago

I noticed this too. It also doesn't confirm that you saved, it just has a couple dots that appear at the top right of the screen when you press save, so strange.

Link2DaFutcha2599d ago

Why is there a video of boats in Holland?

Nitrowolf22599d ago

The mods embedded the video, must have been by accident or and old copy/paste. Contacted them for a fix

Christopher2599d ago

For some reason it didn't want to update. Finally got it to take.

Played and enjoyed Far Cry, Far Cry 3 and 4 campaigns .

-Foxtrot423d ago

4 wasn’t so bad

Pagan Min was pretty entertaining

Skuletor423d ago

Yeah, 4 was good, was hard choosing which Golden Dawn member to side with, when they were both pieces of sh!t.
I've beaten all the main entries except 2 and 6, ended up uninstalling 6 to download something else instead.

Profchaos423d ago

I'd love a far cry pack with the original PC game (not the half assed port on ps360) instincts, predator even a port of far cry 2 to modern consoles back when these games had their own identity and weren't far cry 3 cut and pastel

Demetrius423d ago

Still one of my most favorite franchises along with assassins creed

banger88423d ago (Edited 423d ago )

Same here, I don't know why these games get so much hate. I've thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them, with only a couple of exceptions. I wish they'd hurry up and announce Far Cry 7. The only thing I'm concerned about is the rumoured time limit.

Far Cry 5 Has Surpassed 30 Million Players Worldwide

The 2018 first-person shooter has reached this milestone exactly 5 years after its initial release.

Profchaos773d ago

When you're free on every single service it's eventually going to happen.

Profchaos773d ago

Part of PS plus at the moment

ChasterMies773d ago

Far Cry 5 is “free” if you pay for PS+ Extra.

gangsta_red773d ago

Going to have to try and get back into Far Cry. The formula for Far Cry may be fun, but it gets repetitive very fast.

Demetrius773d ago

Been playing this series since far cry 3 I love the adventuring vibe this series gives off even far cry primal is so good, but experiencing far cry 5 in 60 fps crisp graphics on ps5 for the first time is dope it adds life to it, I wana give far cry 6 a second chance couldn’t get into it at first I wonder if it’s worth it

Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles now

Far Cry 5 Official Twitter: "You've been waiting long enough… Welcome to Hope County! Experience Far Cry 5 in native 60 FPS - available for PS5 & Xbox Series consoles … NOW! Far Cry 5 will also have a FREE WEEKEND from March 23-27 on all consoles & PC. Enjoy!"

banger88787d ago

Damn. I replayed it recently on SX with fps boost, and to achieve that they had to downgrade the resolution. Game played great but looked like ass. Wish I had've waited.

blackblades787d ago (Edited 787d ago )

So you saying fps boost lowers the resolution to achieve 60fps? Cause that culteastwitch was praising in a fanboy cok suking way.

Darkwatchman787d ago

It depends on the game. Some keep Xbox One X resolution. Others drop to base Xbox One resolution and settings.

Knushwood Butt787d ago

Nice
Waiting to play this on Extra but have had too much else to play.
So is this a native PS5 version or does the PS4 version run at 60fps on PS5?

Jin_Sakai787d ago

As expected, Far Cry 5 will now run at 60 frames-per-second on PS5,

“as part of a patch that optimises the PS4 game on Sony's new-gen console.”

Knushwood Butt787d ago

Downloading now. I might do a bit of pancake gaming this weekend.

Eidolon786d ago

Not native PS5. But still looked pretty good on PS4 Pro, and at a solid 60fps, definitely a good experience. Sadly games can't break out of PS4 Pro resolutions, for some reason.

LucasRuinedChildhood786d ago

PS4 games can run 2-2.5 times better on PS5. They're basically just changing the framerate cap to take advantage of that. They could actually change the resolution but it might affect the framerate - it's not a native PS5 game so it can't properly take advantage of the hardware. 1620p isn't bad, tbh.

Eidolon786d ago

Was really hoping to read that New Dawn would be upgraded as well. :( Already beat Far Cry 5 + and only like 1 hr into New Dawn.

KeeseToast786d ago (Edited 786d ago )

Pretty nice 👍
Now we’ll only need fps boost for:
Arkham Knight
Bloodborne
The Last Guardian
Assassin‘s Creed Unity
Shadow of the Colossus
Gravity Rush 2

Did I forget something?

Welshy786d ago

The worst part about AC Unity is that it *does* run natively at 60fps, but only when running the 1.0 version from the disc. If you allow the game to update, future patches applied a 30fps cap for some reason.

I don't see any reason it would be difficult to just lift the cap that they added.

CML2786d ago

Shadow of the Colossus already runs at 60fps.
Its possible to play The Last Guardian at 60fps with an unpatched disc version too.

Stanjara786d ago

So why not unlock framerate cap on the latest version? Can't be that hard.

CML2786d ago

Probably because the studio doesnt exist anymore. 🥲

LucasRuinedChildhood786d ago (Edited 786d ago )

Absolutely. RDR2 still sells very well so the lack of a next gen version after GTA5 next gen is really annoying.
