    Yea I did that last bit already, thanks anyway, I'll try disabling Uplay overlay though :) The Dunia 2 engine is actually based on the first Cryengine.

    I used those settings and I can see in a lot of areas where it looks a lot worse, maybe it's because I run it at 2560x1440p so everything is a lot more noticeable. When you use that tweak tree relief has no effect in game so it doesn't matter if it's on or off. I don't get much stuttering for some reason now when not using the tweak. I get some but not huge amounts, and the game just looks so much better without using the tweak. My fps seems to go from 45-60 or even 75 sometimes at 1440p. This shows me that overclocking my CPU higher worked, which is why you should do the same. I sent you a pm about it but you never responded, you get a lot less frames drop when you overclock your cpu.

    @RevolvingPrawn‌ So I've found out why that tweak for Far Cry 4 stops most of the stuttering. It actually loads lower quality textures in a lot of places, hence why Vram usage goes down a lot. Now can I put up with the lower fps in return for better textures? I'm trying it now as the game does look a lot better without using the tweak. Even though this is an Nvidia game, AMD gpu's actually perform better lol Makes no sense does it, seems Nvidia have some work to do, especially considering the so called FC4 driver does nothing :( Using Ultra so it's a fair test, the 290x performs better than the 980 even though it's a lot older..... (that last part should be in the PC thread, but never mind)

    2014 ABU DOUBLE GP : THE TITLE DECIDER

    I'm a JB fan as well. Fun fact, my mum lived down the road from him when he was young :) That's cool! Did she know him personally back then? I don't think so, but she did know his dad, I feel she married the wrong man o:) hehe

    It's a great game but it depends if you want it or not. The starting price is £49.99 so even with the voucher it's a lot for a PC game. I would imagine it'll go down in price around Christmas and GMG pretty much always have a voucher to use each month ;)

    2014 ABU DOUBLE GP : THE TITLE DECIDER

    So Lewis had a perfect lap in Q3 ? He was quicker all weekend and made 3 or 4 mistakes in Q3 which pretty much gifted pole to Nico. I think it's pretty fair to say he choked but he'll probably still win the WDC tomorrow. My point was its has nothing to do with choking (spelt it right this time lol) Lewis has been poor all year in qualifying and Nico has been great, it's not something that has suddenly started happening, if that's choking then Nico has choked all season when it matters...

    Tbh I didn't see Lewis chocking, Nico has been faster all year in qualifying. Sadly for him you get F all points for that, Lewis makes him his bitch more often than not in races. o:)

    2014 ABU DOUBLE GP : THE TITLE DECIDER

    Thank god no points for qualifying :# P2 is all that's needed in the race, but Lewis is known for beating Nico in a race right back to Karting o:)

    Only for this F1 series where you drive the cars. If they made a manager sim then that would be part of it, the stipulations only apply to the current games ;)

    Lol that is awesome! I bet when he got asked about what he said, he'd say "I don't remember saying that, I'll have to have a look at it to see what happened" (going back to Spa)

    Since getting Far Cry 4 I've played it for 14 hours already, glad I got that instead of GTA (a game I've already completed) I always find it funny when someone says x dev just make the same game over and over again, who then buy a remake of a game that isn't old at all...

    Looks a lot like the Tony Hawks games to me. Don't see myself buying it. If Tony Hawks had guns and people trying to kill him then yea.....lol On a separate note I just raged quit Far Cry 4. I kept dying on a mission where I had no healing syringes and it was impossible, when you have loads of killers coming at all angles and helicopters. :# I try again in a bit. In a mood as it is as my fractured ankle is killing me. I heal abnormally quick from broken bones, but that also brings more pain than usual so my doctor says. :(

    @RevolvingPrawn‌ Anyone with Xbox Live gets to play Sunset Overdrive free this weekend http://www.gamespot.com/articles/play-xbox-one-s-sunset-overdrive-free-this-weekend/1100-6423750/ I'm going to play it as people have said its a good game, but I'm not sure If it's a game I'll like. No harm playing it for free though. o:)

    I know this won't make much sense, but there's almost too much to do in Far Cry 4. It's awesome, and that's one good thing Ubisoft do. Most of the games they make have so much to do in them, even if they treat PC gamers like dirt.

    The Game Thread!

    Yea I read that a few days ago. The problem is I notice a big difference when dropping settings. If you drop god rays the game looks a lot worse. I just max it all apart from AA and live with the framedrops. Having Nvidia Fur on or off doesn't make any difference to framerates for me. Also keep soft shadows on, as ultra actually drops framerates down compared to it while actually looking worse. Even when I used the settings it says for my card in that chart my framerate still drops below 60, plus they only do it for 1080p.

    The Game Thread!

    The fact remains a lot of people don't bother with the story. I've only just started the FC3 story lol I have played more of the story in FC4. I love taking the towers, hunting and taking over enemy territory. Btw now we have (I forget what they're called) big enemy bases to take over. I think if you take over the smaller ones first they become easier, but those are the ones that co-op is for. I'm not sure how it works though. Would I have to join your game to complete one and vice versa? As we'll be at differnt stages in the game.

    Was going to buy it, changed my mind now. Why? It's awesome :)

    It doesn't need to be on the list, all you have to do is select 4x MSAA in game and MFAA in the driver and it should work, as it only needs MSAA in game to work ;)

    Strange I don't have any problems with AA.... Looks sharp for me, and the graphics look amazing. It's funny as apart from AA I have everything maxed at 1440p and the lowest it goes is 40fps. I might be able to help with the stuttering although not completely as everyone has that problem a bit. Go to my docs and then FC4 then edit gameprofile (make sure you have in game graphics set to custom first) then find the line "disableloadingmip0=0" and change it to  disableloadingmip0=1. I also changed the setting next to it maxbufferedframes to 1. Not sure why your graphics look so bad though, this is one of the best looking games I've ever seen. Also make sure you download the latest game ready driver as its for FC4. I was just about to post that I'd done that ;) Happy now, it stopped any stuttering and it's running no problems after doing that. Gone back to everything maxed (minus the poo AA, didn't matter what setting it was on there was jaggies) running DSR at 1440p (which does a much better job with the jaggies than AA) and it's now sitting happily between 60 and 75 fps at all times :)  And the driver was the first thing I did before loading the game ;) I'm definitely disappointed with how the AA looks crap for me on every setting, but thanks to gamers once again coming up with a fix, the game looks good for me now. Read my edited post as I've added something that should help your AA settings, it's a new one for you card http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/mfaa-multi-frame-sample-aa-guide-review,1.html

Something had to be wrong on your end as it looks awesome, you'll always get AA problems with a 1080p screen  especially with a game that doesn't use static lighting, hence why I have a 1440p monitor. oh forgot to say, with the new driver there's a new AA setting for you card in global profile. Turn that on and also MSAA ingame and it might look better.

    The PC Thread

    @RevolvingPrawn‌ So I re applied the thermal paste on my CPU, and it seems I put too much on that as well when I changed from water cooling. I can now overclock it to 4.5ghz with a max temp of 60c, which is only 5c more from when I had water cooling. The fans aren't even at max so there's more headroom if I want it, as I know I can get it go 4.7ghz if needed. I think I may have put too much on when I had wc, my hands are spaz so it's hard to control how much I put on. Really happy with the temps now though. I love it when a plan comes together o:) A rather simple one at that. Before in FC 4 cpu temps went upto 65c and that was only at 4.2ghz, so a pretty big improvement B)

    STOP TEASING ME !!!!  :( :p It's brilliant, big improvements over FC3 which was awesome anyway. Love it!  B) The PC version is stunning although my PC struggles a bit on max settings @ 2560x1440p. Runs between 37-60fps, which is still a lot better than it would've been if I got it for X1/PS4.
