Very Slow Start???

[Dixi_007]

This game has been out for 7 months and still they have'nt fixed the really poor slow game start up WHY???

I sometimes thing it's not going to start for some reason and go to click on the games icon on my desktop and then it starts. it rediculous. And just in case anybody is going to ask, "no their is'nt anything wrong with my pc, plus it's sort of high end pc. And everything is working tip-top".

Please Ubi send out the patch to solve this stupidness?

P.S Is anybody else having the same issue?

Is the game on an SSD? My game loads in about ~45 seconds. Not counting the load up of the Uplay app or whatever it is. From splash screen to main menu isn't to long for me.

There is a mod on Nexus that get's rid of the intro movies, maybe that will help.

I suspect OP is talking about the loading time for the Uplay app which, depending on your set up of course, can result in a notable delay between telling Steam to launch the game and there being any visual indicator on your screen that it is booting up

[Dixi_007]

Yes I only have my games on SSD's I have 7 drives in total, three mechanical and four ssd's, three normal ssd's and one M.2 ssd with my windows and a few games, this game is on my normal ssd. I did a stopwatch to see what the load times were?

With steam started (Obvioulsy) and Ubisoft NOT:
53 Sec to splashscreen
1:33 to menu

And with Ubisoft already open:
49 Sec to splashscreen
1:22 to menu

My Setup:
i7 5820K 3.30Ghz OC to 4.37Ghz
Asus Strix X99 Gaming board
Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000Mhz
EVGA FTW 1080 1721Mhz (default speed) & 2025Mhz Boost

I have and have had loads of ubisoft games like now I'm playing Tom Clancy's The Division, Assassin's Creed Origins & Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands and they start normally as they should, pretty quick. So I have no idea why this game is differ, Also I've played Far Cry 4 on this pc and that was ok!

Something wrong there. 19 sec to menu.UPlay already running. I do use the sunbeam EAC bypass, and that makes for a faster game startup.

This sunbeam anti-cheat it's a third party software yes?

Ubisoft is done with it.
The support on the game is over.

Wait, since when do devs in 2018 put out a game and then never update it? All the games in my library want an update every month, there's always ongoing support and dlc these days...

And I mean, I need KANGZ dlc.

There won't be in the case of Far Cry 5. The developers have already stated there won't be any more updates for the game. Fixes might be coming, but content updates/new community events have ceased for now.

You said 19 sec for your load, is your system like the DDR4 4000Mhz, X299 with a X7980XE cpu or the Ryzen 7 2800x and either gtx 1080ti or the rtx 1080ti, and do you also have an M.2 for windows and is this the drive where your far cry 5 is installed, then I'm wondering if this is why it's loading so quick for you?

Or does everyone else load just as quick as Hoonose even with a simlar setup to mine

it's been so long I hardly remember. But I'd say yes. Single player only.

This is correct. There will be no more updates to Far Cry 5.

Mine only takes about 25-30 seconds (didn't stopwatch it but it's quite fast) with specs not too different from yours, but I do have the OS, UPlay and FC5 on my M.2 SSD. Mine is the UPlay only version of the game and not the Steam version.

Specs:
i7-6800K @4.2GHz on all cores
ASUS ROG STRIX X99 GAMING (1801 BIOS)
32GB G.Skill TridentZ 3200MHz DDR4 (4x8GB quad channel kit running XMP)
EVGA GTX 1080 FTW (v416.34 drivers)
1TB Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe SSD (OS and some high I/O games, including FC5)
2x 512GB Samsung 850 Pro SATA SSDs in RAID 0 (other games that benefit from SSD)
5x 3TB Toshiba 128MB Cache 7200 RPM HDDs in RAID 5 (storage and other games that are OK on HDD)

I think this is why it seems faster start up because its all on your M.2 ssd

[-=SOF=-WID99]

57 seconds till i am in game (on my current save ) pressing escape to skip thru the splash screens
with a samsung evo 840 SSD
