As it addresses 21:9 support, do you guys think this patch will improve Eyefinity/Surround performance-namely the FOV issue? Really want to play this game but holding off until there is a solution.

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.

Catalyst Software Suite 288 MB Omega (14.12) 12/8/2014
now released

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/d ... ows+7+-+64

full-release. non-beta.... supposedly

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...

Changelog:
Far Cry 4 Update v.1.6.0 changelog:
Added hotkey for toggling the HUD on/off (F11)
Fixed an issue when the game loaded incorrect save from Uplay Cloud
Fixed an issue with performance drop for Crossfire Multi-GPU
Fixed an issue with broken shadows in the northern region
Fixed various Controls issues
Fixed various Graphic issues
Fixed various IGE issues
Fixed various UI issues
Fixed various Uplay/Steam issues
Memory usage reduced

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.

The AMD CrossFire™ profile for Far Cry 4 is currently disabled in this driver while AMD works with Ubisoft to investigate an issue where AMD CrossFire™ configurations are not performing as intended. An update is expected on this issue in the near future through an updated game patch or an AMD driver posting.

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.
