For those of us who didn't get the doors unlocking after completing pentagon breach leaving DARPA locked and unreachable, do we have to complete the main pentagon mission again to trigger this or will it just now be open?

[Paul_Gizzy22]

What about the general anderson manhunt not showing on other characters?

These two alone r worth the price of admission.

Kinda lame whoever is doing this for any reason.

Devs if u could mute that chic at the crafting table I would be forever grateful. Whenever she ask, "Can I help u craft something?" my response is always, "Yeah a muzzle for you."

If they actually fixed the crashing I would play this game a lot more but its literally unplayable when your game can crash anytime between 5 minutes of you starting to 7 hours.

Still crashing for me... I have to say the DX12 runs smoother but still crashes...

Shame, thanks for letting me know dude I appreciate it. I'll just wait till maybe someday it gets patched.

[Mr.Cypher504!]

Yeah, I fight through and deal with the crashes... But in all honesty, I think Ubi is OK with that response or outcome and doesn't want too or know how to fix the games crashing issues. I'm about to say screw it and just uninstall it and hope maybe by some miracle they fix it or some community fix/mod comes out and is able to fix it and do what Ubi doesn't know how or care to fix...

It's a sad thing, being its a real good game and didn't have these issues from launch, it became a issue near the Warlords of New York xpack or a pre patch for it and somehow messed up the file system even on their end.... So that's why they cant figure out what is causing the crashing issues.

[Veni_Vidi_Vici]

Crashes still alive and well.
