NEW UPDATES

3/5
We are still working on getting the title update out to you, but wanted to give you a quick update on the corrupt saved game issue. We have been working on it since it was first reported, and are happy to report that the issue has been identified. We are working on incorporating a fix into the upcoming title update, however please be advised that the fix *may* only be for new saves created after installing the TU. We understand that it is frustrating to lose all those hours put into a saved game (believe us, we ourselves have had to physically play to the point of corruption over and over during troubleshooting), and thank you for your patience as we worked to identify the cause. More information on the fix will be available when the TU is ready for release.

This new patch wave will features some major change on our engine, with weapon balance, hardcore mode, improvements on servers and database (and some other features we will reveal soon Wink).

It means a lot of work and testing on our side (all improvements will be share by Xbox 360, PC, PS3), the good news is that we are done with our tests, and we will be able to share a release date with you soon.

4/3
During the upcoming days our team will be preparing the arrival of our new patches with a massive update on our data server.

The first change you’ll be able to notice will be on the leaderboards, in fact we will change the magic formula we are using in order to provide more accurate results.

A few players will experience a slight boost, and some would have a slight decrease in experience corresponding to a correction between our different databases. This will also prevent the use of exploit allowing certain player to accumulate massive amount of experience in a few matches.

Any chance on getting news on a potential fix for the save game corrupting and freezing issues?

Is this being addressed?

^ I think they said they are, the problem has been replicating the issue which was why they requested contacting support directly to help give them more guidance as to what circumstances might cause the issue.

Yay, TU. I really hope there's an option to increase the player walking speed too, we need something between stroll and sprint.

Well I'm glad there's a patch coming in Feb. Not so glad that there's no concrete mention of the Corrupt Save issue.

What's the difference between a patch, a title update, and whatever else you guys do?

They really need to go read the forum topic Corrupt Saved Games and address the huge number of complaints there. I don't care about any multi-player update, i, as well as MANY others, just want the single player game fixed.

Hi Atmon,
Did the mention anything about restricting the Host from Banning players in "Rank Matches"?

Thanks
xxSwordxx

As Atmon posted, this is not a full list and he will update as soon as he has some more solid information.

Thanks for being patient all.

Finally some info, very good.

Another month? They should have released the single player save patch first, before even thinking of working on multiplayer ENHANCEMENTS...

Sounds like Ubi needs to get their priorities in order... It has been 3 months since the game released and I am afraid to play it because of the save game glitch.

Does a developer just get stupid when they become corporate? I see no possible excuse to the fact that the single player patch should have been the priority with anything related to multiplayer released afterwards. Way to crap on the people who dont participate in multiplayer gaming. I am starting to agree with others about a refund.

I like the game, but waiting 3 months for a patch so that you can play through the game is absolutely ridiculous.

Although equally frustrated with the time it takes, Treyarch made an interesting post about the TU process and that it takes a minimum of 3 months to get a TU out - it includes the process of...
Gather feedback 2 weeks
Test and replicate bugs 2 weeks
Develop Fixes 3 weeks
Test fixes 2 weeks
Microsoft Vetting 2 weeks

It's just too bad such a large TU was required

Widescreen fix /crossesfingers

Let's hope they also add ranked match respawn time settings.

Superb.

Thanks Atmon and the team. Just getting back into FC2 now with the clan.

REALLY hoping it inherits a fix from the pc game, and lets players roll from one ranked match to the next. It's a real staller, having to wait for the match to fill from empty each round. That and letting players JOIN mid-match to fill gaps. These two things combined would strengthen multiplayer immensely.

Great work anyway, keep it up, and thanks for the update.

Can I just say that I BEG Ubisoft to make Host names visible in the Lobby after a Custom Search?

It's infuriating when the same people ban others time and time again so that they get a 3 Vs 8 Team Deathmatch against very noobie opponents, thus massively boosting their score/Exp. ***EDIT*** sorry, naming and shaming isn't allowed is one of these people.

I want to AVOID people like him, and Player Reviews just don't cut it. I want a displayable host name as it'll make choosing a game a lot more pleasant than joining a game only to find out that it's the same idiot that you've been trying to avoid. Also, what is it with people hosting a game and then being "Away for countless hours"? I want to avoid those people too, but I can't even give them bad rep as I haven't played a match with them yet.

A simple addition like the Host Name in the Lobby would be like Mana from Heaven and that combined with better respawn times (not every 20 seconds making respawns depend more on Luck rather than Ping or Skill) would make this multiplayer much better.

It's a shame you put the Field Manual requirements of the MGL-140 so high as it's often banned, and why does it say (on www.farcrygame.com/help) that IEDs require 10 Multikills? I've got a helluva lot more than 10 and barely a third of the Bandolier bar is full!

Finally the first patch, but we don't need it as we can't even play our game because of all the game breaking bugs still not fixed.
Why do we even have DLC?

XBOX360BUGS)1rst)TRAJECTORY ISSUES-while looking up... guns fire and grenades/molatov throw to the left, while looking down the opposite happens. Both SP + MP. Does'nt happen all of the time but still occurs enough to mention, also the mounted gunsights sometime appear extremely crooked and shoot to the left. 2nd) MP SPAWN ISSUES-during MP the avatar will spawn without a weapon sometimes + unable to throw grenades/molatov. 3rd)VEHICLE REGENERATION-MP When a vehicle is destroyed in its SPAWNPOINT it will remain smoldering at not regenerate for the rest of the match???. 4th)MOVEMENT ISSUES-not nessasarily a bug ,although I have the hardest time between running gunning turning and straffing. I think because the config only allows a player to initiate the run while pushing forward... and not while pushing forwards at an angle!. fixing this would essentialy smooth out the run and gun and create a greater sence of agility, Hense being immersed as the character and not some idiot on the couch fighting with his controller... and one more thing, the HOST should not have the ability to BOOT players from RANKED DEATHMATCH. This is allowing some serious manipulation of the ranks and overall point of having leaderboards, If its a matter of team killing, incorporate the 3 kills and your out autoboot and dont give the host the power to boot any players from a RANKED MATCH. Please address these bugs and issues. I really want this game to work... (PS,how come the FORTUNES PACK DLC weapons and vehicles dont apply to the MAP EDITOR and PLAYER CREATED MAPS??? very disapointing, It would be a nice gesture to REINBURSE our time and moneys waisted waiting for the game we paid for with what was ADVERTIZED as being more weapons, 4 pointless MP maps and new vehicles not limited solely to the 4 maps and SP!!!) smells like false advertising to me. peace !please address these bugs in patch!

Is This The U.K. Forum??? and quit deleting my post...I have genuine bugs and am merely tring to have them addressed amongst all the complaining and whining I've seen on this site!!!

This is the forum for all who wish to post in English, it's not specific to any one country.
As far as I know, your other post was deleted by a manager, because you had already posted exactly the same post elsewhere on the forum.

Well the 5 things I was looking for most arent there:

Set far higher bullet damage model ( plus fix stupid accuracy over range problem ).

Set Respawns to None.

Attack/Defend Gametype.

Get rid of red gamertag over targeted enenies.

Selectable Camo skins.



Oh well, at least you can select all guns in player matches. Its a start.
