Widescreen Gaming Forum

40-50 FPS on average here. Just installed the latest 334.75 drivers. I hear they increase performance.

What is very frustrating, is that there are rather large letterboxes spanning across all three monitors at 5760x1200. That, and there seems to be no way to increase the FoV while using Surround resolutions.

Yeah my frames are all over the joint - I can set the game to 'Nvidia' profile and just reduce the txaa to 2x and it runs 40-60, but then dips into the 30+. I can then reduce everything to high and it runs a little better, but still not great - there seems to be a stutter, like it isn't smooth - not until I run on a single monitor then i'm getting 70-90.

BUT the FOV is wrong. The game actually disables the FOV options when you are using windscreenFOV (surround/eyefinity). Changing it in the ini doesn't seem to work either. I have to say I'm not overly impressed with how the game looks - if you look at the Gefore comparisons, anything over high, makes very little difference visually.

Hey man, have you tried turning on/off the UseWidescreenFOV="1" command in the xml file?

344.75 drivers make SLI worse for me. Need to use the 344.65 drivers with the FC3 SLI profile to get good framerate it seems.

Also, low FoV and letterboxing...

Borderless mode seems to fix the 21:9 stretch issue (as found by DerPsychonaut on the Steam hub), unfortunately performance in borderless mode is very poor compared to fullscreen.

It also works properly with vehicles, though I don't have any screenshots of that.

16:9


21:9



Tried it, no luck.

Downloaded the new NVIDIA drivers today, very happy with the performance, on two GTX Titans I'm averaging 55-60 FPS with everything on ultra apart from godrays and AA.

Have you got soft shadows and HBAO+ on? Did you turn the Godrays off completely, a what setting for you have AA? I'm thinking the game might have to FPS locked too - frames seem a little all over the place.

I actually find the performance a bit better than Far Cry 3. I got only slightly higher framerates on #3, but that was with Crossfire enabled, and it is not yet supported for #4.

Fun game. Pretty much the same as #3, but beefier.

The FOV Scale cvar does indeed work.

Do you mean the GamerProfile.xml "FOVScaleFactor="1.0"" setting?
I'm upping it pretty much but I don't feel its optimal, I think the weapon in hand doesn't scale with the FOV or have its own value like in FC3 wich Hayden made a fix for.

On multi-monitor resolutions? I've been editing the line FOVScaleFactor in the config file for a while, and no matter what value, the FoV stays the same. That, and the FoV slider in the game menu disappears when you use multi-monitor resolutions.

I feel this might be what I'm experiencing.
Think we need a FOV fix!

Borderless also is limited to the default FOV. No slider.

Anyone reached out to the devs yet about the FOV slider in triple screen?

Hi, might there be a letterboxing fix for 1280x1024 monitors?

I have posted about it in Ubi forums, don't know anywhere else to reach out.
http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/955246-FOV-slider-disabled-when-enabling-Surround-Eyefinity

I've checked with processes and the float value of the FOV is bypassed completely when enabling sourround. Changing the value with memory hack real-time wont work and the value isnt even accessed.

This is not a matter of discussion it belongs in the technically issues forum here: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/95 ... st10359319
Along with the letterboxing issue on anything not 16:9 or 3x16:9, multi-monitors resolutions are letterboxed as well: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/95 ... st10359303


Edit: Also this is 100% awesome and you should listen to it, it's a track from Miracle of Sound call Welcome Home, it's inspired by Far Cry 4:

"Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality."

anyone did an analysis on what effects the performance the most ? especially on AMDs ? i gave it a try in Eyefinity and its around the 30s most of the time . i do remember than in far cry 3 i had to adjust something to get a stable 40ish frame rate back then on a 6970.

Any news on changing viewmodel fov(hands fov) yet?
(entitylibrary.fcb, flawlesswidescreen, etc.)

Frankly I'm getting pretty pissed off at Ubisoft's (Kiev?) lack of 16:10 support. It has been like this for many years, at least since Assassin's Creed III, that I can remember. All of their titles except for Far Cry 3 had 16:10 letterboxing. Yet in Far Cry 4, they have letterbox? Meh.

The game doesn't look that good to me compared to FC3, too. There is something off about the perspective that makes everything seem like it has a poor quality compared to FC3.

I agree, we need a letterbox fix. I just hate black bars immensely.

I loved the Dead Rising 3 fix, hopefully someone here can make it happen. I tried tweeting the Creative Director about it, but he wouldn't reply.

Those of you having problems with letterboxing, try this temporary work around:

http://www.filedropper.com/fc4blackbarsfix

Run FC4, minimize, then click remove.

Anyone knows who worked on the Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon Flawless widescreen fix?

I tried blood dragon yesterday and it works PERFECT with Flawless Widescreen, maybe the solution is quite similar to the one in FC3 because FC4 uses the same engine?

Thank you so much .The fix does indeed work.If the games suddenly exits when loading the game from the menu,just use it after it loads and you don't crash anymore.

Cool tunes.

Ubi have taken down their forum, probably crashed after the AC Unity mayhem and now FC4!
Or they just don't want us to complain so much.

According to Alex Hutchinson, Creative Director at Ubisoft Montreal, all multi-monitor users are pirates because were having troubles with the FOV slider disappearing.

Don't pay attention to that, they are clearly click bating, they posted 3 hours ago, his tweet was on the 18th the same day the game came out, and the overwhelming majority of people moaning about it at that time would of been idiots or pirates. Techgage are clearly taking that tweet out of context to get attention.

"Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality."

It isn't click bait because I didn't know about it until today, been busy with my Dragon Age Inquisition review and there is no revenue from Facebook. The content also does not link back to the site for any possible revenue.

The problem I have with it is if you say something long enough, even if it isn't true, people will believe it. It is hard to put something that inflammatory into any other context than it's literal wording. I do think people can be lazy and unwilling to learn to fix their own problems but to say that the problem only exists because of pirates is as I said, arrogant. An arrogant assumption at that.

I'm sorry I couldn't post it when you would have liked but as I said, I had the Dragon Age Inquisition review to do, that I paid for btw, and Far Cry 4, which I am now getting to. Sorry to hear you feel that way about a site that I am proud to write for but just you know, we've never done that click bait crap. I've even been told news posts have to be submitted one day after it breaks at the latest, unless it's trending for several days, but I don't have time for that so I don't do the news that often. I hate that you assume we do that crap. We hate it just as much as you Skid.

My problem is with that specific post you linked to, nothing else, is informatory and misleading, on the day of the games release they was a lot of people claim the game didn't have a FoV slider, at all. The number of legitimate users at that point that would of complied about a lack of FoV slider would of been very small. Most the people moaning about it would be people how ether pirated the game, so didn't have the day one patch, or people jumping on the band wagon of complaining because they read somewhere it was missing and not checking their facts first, his tweet was clearly aimed at them.

His tweet was on the first day, before issues with surround and eyefinity would of been verified, the linked post noted that it was confirmed the option was locked for us, did that confirmation come before or after the tweet, because that information wasn't included in the post. Also has he tweeted the same since that confirmation, if not then there is no grounds to say he's lumping us in with the people that did pirate the game.

Ubisoft do enough to get themselves in trouble anyway without people fanning flames that don't exist. And the trend of taking one tweet out of contexts to try and vilify someone, cause conflict or as some sort of news has to stop.

"Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality."

So there's supposed to be a 1.4 update for this game. Any tried it? Does it fix the FoV issue?

Ubisoft's blog says that 1.4 will be released tomorrow, or "In the following days". - http://far-cry.ubi.com/en-US/news/live- ... 8-76770-32

Says it is primarily for the black screen startup issue, but a full change list will be posted once released.

It isn't taken out of context. Unless you can tell me what he was thinking, which I doubt you can, than I take what he wrote as point of fact. There is no ambiguity, it is black and white, and he is saying only those who are having problems with it are pirates. That simple. As to your point about him not verifying information, he's the creative director for crying out loud he isn't a customer of ubisoft! He is in a position of authority and management, if he wanted to know the facts he would but he didn't and yes I think it is important to hold him to a higher standard when he's making false accusations. I hold those in positions like that to a higher standard and you should to. As fare as your problem to my link to, it was not misleading. I provided it to highlight the problem with his statement that because I have the problem so in his mind I must be a pirate, that goes for you and anyone else who has this problem. I do not take kindly to being accused of a crime when there the basis of his facts are omitted from scrutiny or admittance to incompetence. This man is a doing the same thing CliffyB did by accusing PC gamers as nothing but pirates and look where we are! Shoddy ports from consoles, lack of support and more and more intrusive DRM than ever before. This isn't a conspiracy, it is fact that these things have happened because of people saying this garbage with no repercussions when they're ignorant or at worst arrogant. I do not want to see things get worse for us as a gaming community so yes I will speak up to this sort of harassment and profiling because it is wrong, even if you don't think so.

And you can? Guilt till proven innocent I see, assume the worst because it fits your narrative better rather then consider the situation from what his side would be?
The context, on the day of release thousands of peoples was up in arms because prior to the game coming out there was no FoV slider, and rather then checking the facts that said the day one patch would have it. Of that large mass of misinformed anger that was attacking Ubisoft, less then 1% would of legitimate complainants, a group so small it's would of been easily missed among the anger.


There are more shades of gray then their are black and white, twitter by its very nature is ambiguous hell, why? Because it only allows for 140 characters, ohh what you expected someone to respond barrage of unfounded attacked in a detailed and well written manor while using twitter?


Well done, you just proved you have no credibility by taking my post out of context when it's context is clearly displayed in the first line: "My problem is with that specific post you linked to, nothing else" meaning that comment was directed at YOUR opinion piece. IE you cited that Ubisoft acknowledged the issue on Eyefinity, and you are using that again it. However you didn't provide proof where that was said or more importantly when, and even more importantly you didn't provide the proof that Alex was aware of the issue when he posted his tweet. As you put it, he's the Creative Director, he's not expected to know every detail about a game made by hundreds of people, hell it's not even his responsibility to know about bug and issues with the game.


Not really, his responsibility lie in guiding how the game looks, feels, and plays, not what the games options are.


What so he's expected to be able to know the things he doesn't know about? Or that he should be asking questions about very detail of a game? You do know why development houses of games this size have hundreds of people in them right?


I refer you to my first point, perspective is important.


Coming from someone claiming to have written a post and basing it on their own opinion rather then researching facts, getting opinions and ASKING THE GUY, if he knew about the multi-monitor issue when he posted or if the post was even aimed at us.


My opinion does not agree with yours.


Based on your interpretation, with no regard for consideration of the event at the time he posted it, or what his intent might be, everything is black or white, his 140 character post must be taking 100% literally because you say so.


No issue here.


No one said it was.


So he's not allowed to express annoyance on his personal twitter account when a large number of people who have been misinformed or mislead lay into him or his work or the company that he works for? Because a minority of people might not be smart enough to know his 140 character post isn't meant to be directed at them?


Taking my post out of context again, technically no issue with the first part however, your "post" will generate direct harassment at Alex, whether you want it to or not, people will read it as an excuse to lay into him because you misrepresented what he said. And that is FAR worse then big corporations making sweeping generalizations.



Here is a fair and balanced way to write that post:
On the day of Far Cry 4's release there was a large number of people deciding to take Ubisoft to task over the lack of an FoV slider, however a day one patch for the game that anyone who bought the game and had an internet connection to update it with would of had installed, added the FoV. This lead Creative Director Alex Hutchinson to post the following tweet [citation here].
The problem is this tweet didn't take into account the fact that on multi-monitor systems, the FoV option is actually still disabled, this was later confirmed by Ubisoft [citation here].
While it's unlikely Alex was directing his tweet at the multi-monitor community, or even knew the issue existed at the time he posted it, it's still a shame to see a developer make a sweeping statement that could be seen to paint people who have legitimate complains with people who are ether ignorant, misinformed, or just looking for a reason to be angry.

Yes, this is how I would have liked to read it.


Anyway, i been pulling my hair about trying to make the FOV ok...
Not so much luck, found a value I could edit, that changed the Surround FOV, but it get written back to default. When blocking the action that writes to it i get the FOV to go back and fourth like a ping pong ball... my assembler knowledge is to thin here.

And no mention of a FOV fix for us in the 1.4 update either.
We probably need a Widescreenfixer Fix or Flawless Widescreen Fix for this.

I seriously doubt they will fix it - the game is riddled with "offscreen" quirks, like models disappearing and appearing (eg. not ment to be seen) - I'd say they've clamped the FOV in an attempt to limit that, might be wrong, clearly an after thought tho.

Game also has some form of executable integrity checking, so modifying the EXE in memory just causes it to crash after a short period of time, similar to Borderlands 1

Your are probably right Hayden, they don't want us to see that. Then they would have floods of bug reports about it.

It doesn't crash when i fiddle with the process in memory with CheatEngine though.

The screenshoots looks nice, is it fixable?
Also the Weapon/Hands FOV is a bit narrow like in FC3.

Ahh, I see. Thank you for the update. So, what are the chances of a flawless fix in that case?

I honestly had to stop there. Your lecturing me on the merits of making a fair and balanced way to write what I did based on on your biased opinion on it's content after the fact, how is the view from bleachers? I took action to prevent misinformation because he was claiming any PC gamer under that circumstance is guilty, with no room for them to prove his accusations as false. Than joystiq and pc gamer put it on their pages as it's all the pirates fault, with no bloody background information to the other side of the story and your saying I have to be the only one playing fair and balanced? That is wrong, they are wrong not only morally but for not doing what you suggest but also in that my opinion differs so it is the only one at fault, from what I've read. I at least provided proof to that his claims was false, where was his? Aside from his loud mouth and position, where is his burden of proof? I've shown you mine, but you didn't like where it was and by another site because you assumed it was click bait? If you can't follow it and know the facts for yourself, how can you say it is something without investigating?!? I am now not only worried you can see fault for blaming people for something they didn't do but I'm also sorry you can't see that you hold my differing opinion to a double standard. No one should be held to a different standard than some one else, or third parties, in a conversation if there is no previous sign of guilt. That puts anyone, including me, at a disadvantage because the victor has all ready been chosen in your mind since this whole thing began! I will not concede my points when none is to be had on the basis of why this man and his accusation are wrong. You've done a great job to twist it beyond the scope of that which is troubling enough when I see some obfuscating an issue by blaming the person opposing it. With that, I choose not continue this conversation any further, with no succession of anything other than I'm worried as to why you can't see these kind of false accusations are wrong.

Hayden, thank you so much for looking into the game, what a shame after your wonderful fixes for FC3 and Blood Dragon.

Dont know if this helps you but the FOV seems to be set semi-correctly when you set an EF resolution and set the game to Borderless Windowed.

It just needs maybe another 10 degrees for the FOV to be perfect.

Again thank you so much for your efforts, hopefully you can release a fix for the FOV even if there are disappearing objects on the sides.

And please, do not forget about 21:9

Ok, tested again and no crashes.

I changed the FOV in surround and replaced the code in memory that writes the default FOV values back and then went around and shot some stuff and running around. No crasch.

Don't know if its to any help but this in red is the code that writes the default FOV back, that i replaced with NOP (code that does nothing)

Here is my FIX for the FOV no hack:

1. Load the game up
2. Switch to 1920x1080 apply
2b. Make sure you have all the visual setting to the way you want it after the fix you can not edit anything or you will have to re do all the steps
3. Go in to displays options and advanced where the FOV is supposed to be you will now see the FOV slider
4. Set the FOV to MAX and apply
4. Load a level play see that the FOV is maxed
5. Save and exit the game
6. go to C:\Users\[user name]\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 4\fb656277-0267-4dbd-b4ee-c634994fbfd8\ * should en this for everyone *
7. load GamerProfile.xml in text editor do a find on : ResolutionX and ResolutionY and set these to your multi screen resolution
ResolutionX="5760"
ResolutionY="1080"

Save the file

8. load GFXSettings.FarCry464.xml in a text editor
Look for the first part that has the <RESOLUTION node :
<EXECUTABLE Value="FarCry464" />
<EXECCMD Value="" />
</APPLICATION>
<GAMESETTINGS>
<RESOLUTION Width="5760" Height="1080" RefreshRate="60">

Change the With and Height to your multi screen resolution, use the same values you used in above ResolutionX and ResolutionY

9. Save the file
10. load up Far Cry 4 the FOV is fixed and play DO NOT go into the video opeions or it will revert everything.

hope this works for you guys.

Thanks man! Hey, are people with SLi getting that shadow bug - where the shadows are pitch black and you pretty much can't see anything at night, and even during the day if you step into a shadow (building/tree etc) its black?

Far Cry 3 got it right.




Could anyone playing triplewide check the oxygen mask and mortar sight behavior? The oxgyen mask can be seen on the first proper Longinus mission (directly after Chal Jamal Monastery, about 10 main missions into the game) and the mortar can be found littered around the newly unlocked southern end of the map after completing Act 1.


Try setting your DX1x SLI bits in Inspector to 0x080000F5 - It fixes the pitch black effect, but there are still some lighting oddities.

What a find!Thank you soo much!

EDIT: Sorry, didnt work. the FOV value used by Single Monitor resolution is bypassed totally in memory when multi-monitor resolutions is used.

I tested the two bits suggested by Abalian on the Steam forum, and it works for me, both of them.
http://steamcommunity.com/app/298110/discussions/0/624075566741837271/?tscn=1416652208

But I can't tell if the later actually was better, looks the same to me when I did some quick tests.

This doesn't seem to be working for me. I don't run 3x16:9 monitors, but rather 3x16:10 (5760x1200 in surround). So I've tried first using 1920x1200 and then the method you posted -- didn't work. 1920x1080 didn't work either.

Just tested, did not work here either.

After reading this and other threads about black bars for 16:10 screens, i feel like i may be going insane. I'm positive that my 1920x1200 screen did NOT have black bars until i changed a couple of settings in GamerProfile.xml. My screen was filled from top to bottom with the correct aspect ratio (definitely not a case of running @ 1080p stretched... this eliminates the bars but looks horrible).

I KNOW this, because Fraps is now over the black bar top right of the screen, and always visible. It wasn't before though, because often I couldn't properly read the yellow fps number if the top right of the screen was bright; the yellow numbers wouldn't stand out enough. I would have to turn my character towards something darker (like a tree) so I could read the fps. Now, with the black bars, the yellow Fraps text is obviously always clearly visible. In fact, I was at least 20 hours into the game until, this afternoon, I decided to change UseD3D11 from 1 to 0 (in GamerProfile.xml). After I'd changed this value, I noticed the black bars straight away as soon as I ran the game, so I changed it back but the bars have remained. The only other value i changed at the same time was <PhysicConfig QualitySetting from "VeryHigh" to "High". I've been tweaking various GamerProfile settings from day 1, and I'm certain there were never black bars before. I even remember quickly glancing to check, because I saw a forum post about it a few days ago. "Not my problem", I thought. I'm explaining this in detail, because I'm certain there's a way to get it to work with the right mix of [something]. I was hours and hours into the game with a perfect 16:10 display until I tried to force it out of DX11 in an attempt to gain a few frames.

I've now uninstalled and reinstalled the game, I've even tried to roll back my ATI drivers to 14.9, coz I installed the ATI 14.11.2beta drivers a couple of days ago, after having played the game for a couple of days on the 14.9 drivers with no problems. I'm pretty much out of ideas, but it seems I'm the only one on the planet who ran native 16:10 without bars... is this even possible? Have I unwittingly entered into a cross-dimensional vortex to a universe where FC4 doesn't work on 16:10? I suppose I'm adding my name to the long list of people awaiting a 16:10 fix! Thanks to everyone who is contributing to troubleshooting this issue.

Having seen the images above, in 21:9 is this stretching or adding weird bars? Not going to bother to play unless it is fixed, so GL you hackers/modders/etc!

_________________
Dipping bags at Mach1.9

21:9 is proper hor+ in borderless mode, but a few of the texture overlays, namely the oxygen mask and mortar sight (so far, possibly there are more) don't extend past the 16:9 center area though. The sniper rifle scopes meanwhile, do black out the edges past the 16:9 area, which while better than the mask and mortar, is still rather annoying compared to the proper physical scope model that Far Cry 3 had.

Yeah I'm using the Batman: Origins to eliminate the shadow issue - although I think the God Rays are bugged too. The biggest issue is the Fps drops - which at this stage you have to disable MipMaping to enjoy a smooth game - which essentially means you are playing with medium quality textures.

Weird game, I set the game to borderless windowed, and the game runs in fullscreen and actually uses a wide FOV, its not perfect, but totally playable.

Yeah, I wish the FOV was a bit more wide, but Im happy that its playable in this mixed eyefinity setup, resolution is 6400* 1200, no black bars and the center monitor is 21:9, while the outside screens are 16:10.

Played around 5 hours like this:







Sorry for the shit pics, just wanted to show its a mixed EF setup.

As for performance, I had to overclock my GPU and drop a ton of settings to low to achieve 30fps, sometimes it drops to 25fps but its not too often. Im using Riva Tuner Statistics Server to cap the framerate to 30.

So I have a delema, unless someone has a fix,

1440x900x3 (4320x900) 16:10
Game Fullscreen : Streched
Game Borderless : Perfect but no Crossfire. (2nd GPU 0% usage).

is there any way to have best of both worlds?

============================================

CY:G: I'm not sure about performance between the 2 methods, but turning V-sync on and setting V-sync mode to "Sparse" in-game will cap the framerate to 30fps.

I know that my card stopped overheating with v-sync (normal) on. It gives similar performance to v-sync off (almost identical) at around 45-60 fps depending on the scene, but the card runs a lot cooler. I think it's because of fps spikes in the menus. Why the hell can't these devs stop my card from spiking to 3500fps (literally) in the menu with v-sync off? It's an insane waste of power and my card revs up the jet engines as soon as I head into the (text-based) menu. Same if I alt-tab out to desktop.

Have you had any time to look in to it more if so there any chance that you could find a solution?
I'm motion-sick of the FOV.

Tomorrow is payday...yay! Pizza and beer money coming your way, and to Dopefish for the fine COD fix!

Update 1.4

No change to - opr options for - FOV for multi-monitor. Still letterboxed.

Poo.

Yup I just tried as well, the game is a mess with SLI and the FOV in multi screen mode. I don't understand why they have not fixed the FOV not showing up/working in multi screen mode only, if you switch to none multi screen mode the FOV slider works and is visible.

WSGF should contact/ask UbiSoft why they are specifically targeted multi screen users and purposely disabled their FOV slider in multi screen mode but not single screen mode. It be worth a shot.

Field of view setting is only disabled when you have the game set to borderless mode

Running the game in Windowed mode borderless or with borders is bad for SLI users. SLI needs fullscreen mode to be utilized.

You could try use MSI Afterburner / Riva Tuner to limit FPS to 60. Then it will be limited regardless of game state.

I don't see the field of view setting in any triple screen mode (fullscreen/window/borderless) - only when I reduce to a single monitor do I see it.

What the hell so it is a Nvidia Surround issue we don't see it at all in window or borderless mode, that is messed up so does the FOV work on your rig in the window modes?

Here is how I see it in window mode and borderless which really is window mode with the Window UI elements stripped.

http://valcanized.com/ds2/fc4_win_mode_none_multi_fov.jpg

Messed up, man you would of thought htey test it just a bit hey

A lot of things about this game make it feel like they pretty much just released the latest semi-stable build, as opposed to a final product...

Thanks, but for me it just stretches the screen vertically to compensate for the black bars.

Ok, just fired up the game. It's patched to 1.04.
And now its a stuttery mess! They made the game WORSE!

Tried all sorts of settings, cant get the stutter away no matter what settings.
Closing the game for now. Hopefully they fix their shyte before christmas holidays.

I read on the Ubisoft forums about changing your "GPUMaxBufferedFrames="x" setting can help with stutter. I don't,really get stutter, but changing it made no visible difference for me.. but can't hurt to try.

Myself, I see no changes with 1.04. No difference in performance, multi-mon, and the many little bugs that while never game-busting, are a bit annoying. Ubisoft has always been pretty good at poodle-pounding when it comes to useful patches.

Still enjoying the game, other than the shitty FOV.

Yeah the temp fix is to turn Mip-mapping off - as the texture streaming is the cause for the hitch. It's the exact same thing that was wrong with Watch dogs - which still hasn't really been fixed to this day (and its based of the same engine). I jumped in to finish FarCry 3 while I've been waiting for a proper fix for the stutter/shadow/Sli issues, and FarCry 3 is hit an miss too with performance stutter. That was until I changed the API to DX9 and then the game was smooth as. I believe (and it has been mentioned in a lot of forums) that DX11 is shit, and the work required to get it to work seamlessly seems to be too much for devs. I'm just hoping DX12 is everything that MS are hyping it up to be. I'm just wondering if you can force FC4 to run in DX9, and whether that would make a difference - I know you lose a lot of AA and tessellation options though.

On 21:9, 2560x1080, does anyone experience this phenomenon https://i.imgur.com/wy3Klzz.jpg when you increase the FOV? I did not pirate this game, it came with my graphics card. What's up with that?

Yes, i tried changing the loading of MIP off and on and the different Sli bits and different Max buffer Frames, but the stutter was still there.
Actually it was kind of fine before the patch. But after 1.04 no matter what i change it stutters.
Also wierd is that it's mostly stutters when turning with the mouse, not if I'm only go back and forth and not turning with the mouse. (!?)
The mouse even stutters in the game main menu.
Ok, I'll maybe give it another go tonight after work to see if i can fix it so it at least is like it was before the 1.04 patch.

Any word on an FoV fix with Surround?

Oh, well.. cant believe this. Stutter is gone in all resolutions but Eyefinity/Surround.
I can max all settings except AA in 1920*1080 without stutter. But with ANY Eyefinity/Surround resolution the stutter is massive, even when all settings is off and on lowest.

must be a nvidia thing or a you thing.

my card (r9 280x I actually have 2 but crossfire wont run in borderless or window modes) runs great on my 4320x900 monitors. very playable with most settings at very high or better. I do have to shut off the trees option as sometimes it produces odd artifacting.

It's because there's no limit on the FOV so the more speed you get in a vehicle the more the FOV increases, and because you've already increased the FOV it goes to stupid amounts in fast vehicles.
I don't believe there's a fix for this currently.

Everyone please post here at Ubisoft forum -> http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/95 ... ity-Forums

Hopefully if enough of us post they will address the issue, thanks.

That is actually very disappointing. I will go post on their forums.

So, I guess everyone just gave up on this one right , too bad, Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon were excellent in Surround

If i remember correctly the FC3 and Blood Dragon was newer fixed by the devs of the game. It was Hayden that fixed it I think. So we have to rely and pledgde to him.

I played far cry 3 without the fix and it looked fine

What it was before I had my second card and didn't care about the Frostfire I may have required the borderless window to not be stretched. Borderless and cross fire do not mix

I don't think they will. They'll see it as they have Eyefinity/Surround support already. So by fixing the 21:9 support it will be added just as they say the support EF/Surround.
If they were to fix the FOV i believe they would announce that as well in the notes. Like "Added support for FOV adjustment for Eyefinity/Surround resolutions". But they didn't so my guess is it won't be fixed as of yet. And as Hayden pointed out, there are some off screen oddities that they probably wanna sort out if they're gonna fix FOV in those resolutions. Otherwise they will get shit blizzards of people complaining about funny bugs

So im not holding my breath, but who knows. It would be awesome if they did though.

Thanks for the reply.

I could live with a few graphical artifacts/broken bits but that FOV would kill me. IIRC FC3 was broken for a good while, can't remember if Hayden, Helifax or one of the other peeps here fixed it-or if Ubisoft sorted it for as finish.

We live in hope.

Yes, we do

Hayden I think fixed the FC3 first, haven't played it for some time now so not sure when or if Ubi finally fixed it.
I couldn't hold of anymore and started playing single screen, takes couple of hours to get used too but works. The good thing is that i can crank up all settings to max and its really beautiful. A dark room, a Coke, good headphones, nose close to the monitor and burning incense helps with immersion.

The new patch is released now, downloading in progress. 1362 MB in Size.
Not holding my breath... but exited to test it out. Lets hope for the best.

EDIT:
Ok, Nvidia Hairworks is in, sweet. And Sli Black Shadows bug seems fixed, good.
Still no FOV slider for surround/eyefinity though.

Is the reason I'm getting this on Eyefinity 5760x1080 16:9.

Basically get a Hugely Zoomed In Picture on left & right monitors, so I can see for instance this mountain incredibly close up? Is this the issue with FoV Slider?

I get this in Skyrim also, everything looks massively zoomed on left and right monitors, I even tried using the Hayden Software and it still looks zoomed? Was wondering if its my setup? But for FC4 its unbearable.

If I set it to 16:9, on 1920x1080 it shares across all screens, it looks squashed but i don't get any of the zooming I get in Eyefinity.
-This is when looking at mountain through Center Monitor
-This is when looking to the side in Center Monitor with the Mountain in the left Monitor. It looks massively zoomed in.

this is normal for most games. welcome to widescreen gaming. In most First/Third person games you will notice this. it has to do with how its rendered. the wide view is more for peripheral vision. it actually looks better if you tilt your outer monitors towards you and the game you are playing is in-doors. walking down hallways ect. looks really good.

Let's thank Ubisoft again for this LOL in all the face:

21:9 support...but the FoV slider "magically" disappears when you select such resolutions.

Clap, clap, clap. ¬¬

Well as some of you may know patch 1.6 has been... unofficially released via torrent channels...



So Crossfire issues have been fixed!!....

BUT... as you are probably also aware the latest Catalyst Drivers since beta drivers 14.11.2 - hard disabled crossfire for Far Cry 4 until FC got their crap together.



So I am running the 1.6 patch, alone, and still only one of my 2 cards fires up... it seems that FarCry is leaving or had to leave it up to AMD to re-enable crossfire with a further driver update.

So having working crossfire with FC4 requires either using pre-Omega buggy as sh..snot drivers, or....
as i just realized works...

rename FarCry4.exe to ANYTHING ELSE and CCC will not block crossfire from running!
renamed mine to FarCry4-2.exe and it works!!

EDIT...
it seems that there may still be a patch or driver update required before this fully works. while both cards fire up full throttle, there appears to be a memory leak now. game filling up all available memory in my system and freezing the game.

Cheers for the update.

Is the FOV slider still broken in eyefinity?

I still can't believe we're a month and a half since release and we still don't have Crossfire support for a AAA title...frustrating!

I just got the DR done for v1.5 of the game. Only config to get a Gold is 4k UHD. Everything else has some sort of issue. Please let me know if I missed any flaws or issues. Feel free to update the DR itself, or summarize here.

Many thanks for that. Just to clarify, modding the FOV in the GameProfile.xml file works? Had you any stuttering with SLI?

The fix about editing the FoV in GameProfile.xml does not work for me for 21:9 ratio the value seems to be just ignored/locked to 1.0

So, the information listed here for ultra-widescreen seems to be incorrect - http://www.wsgf.org/dr/far-cry-4/en

So what's the current situation with the 21:9 aspect ratio? Is the FOV adjustment still broken?

how is this on surround / sli these days?

i honestly quit playing after a few weeks. i had flickering and other nonsense with sli, then when that got patched i started getting crashes.. so i just stopped playing. just wondering if anyone has been playing on latest patches and if its any better.

Hi, could anyone give a status update about Far Cry 4? Can it be run in eyefinity and crossfire 290? I'm thinking about getting it.
