Not even worth 1 £!!Far Cry 5 still a stuttery mess even on nvme
needless to say I've tried it on uplay + for free the game doesn't even deserve 1£ at how broken is for PC platform in specially those with high refresh monitor like me who can feel the frametimes.
on PS4 pro runs so smooth even its just 30 fps compared to what i get 150+ but when drive load new areas stutter its horrific
add to pirate list bois
pc tested
3700x 4.3,16 gb 3600c16,rtx 2070s
4790k 4.4,16 gb 1600c9, 1080ti
7700k,32 gb 3000c15, gtx 1060 6 gb variant
resistence MOD on or OFF same results
uplay/steam installed in the same partition NVME same results
GPU buffer 1,3,5 in config or Nvidia control panel better results with buffer at 1 but still stutters occurs when driving.
v-sync off,on,RTSS,freesync same stutter when loading new areas
Next time devs please take notes from your work mates friends at Divison 2 (Massive Entertainment) or Break Point (Ubisoft Paris) of how to make a proper PC game

https://youtu.be/KWaDQzcCGIk as i said whats the point of having hundreds of fps if the frametimes are all over the place

just because you don't feel it or don't know what a spike lag is then ofc will not distract you but for me its ruining all immersion i got around 1200h on ps4 pro but sadly on PC its a mess also 60hz with 60 fps can mask those stutters but not completely fix it even with the resistance mod

I finished the game a long time ago, felt like playing again.

Keep in mind its the same machine, now there was ofcourse a patch after all this time.
Now fps drops when you loot anything due to autosave...

I dont know which or at which point a patch broke the game, but its broken for me somehow.
Again its the same machine i used to finish the game when it released.

No other game or games behave this way and i own most Ubisoft's games lol.

Edit : i own FC5 and new dawn on Uplay so might not show here.. if i can even comment as its "fc5 buyers" only.

"Autosave" stutter is well documented (Steam/Ubisoft forums) and in a patch Ubisoft said they couldn't fix it (not all players have the problem).

I got the game on U-play (got in on release) and Steam. On my U-play copy i now got some autosave stutter and the game seems to save very very often ( U-play/FC 5 installed on C; drive/SSD).

On my Steam copy i got no autosave stutter at all (U-play installed on C;SSD/drive and FC 5 7installed on HDD; drive). Both games on the same PC (i7/Gtx 1080ti/32 GB Ram).

The point is that a lot of players don't have this problem (FC 5 is not "broken/stutteri mess" as the OP say)) and it should be fixable somehow. When i got more time i probably reset my PC completly and see if this fix the problem.

it can't be fixed its an engine issue(new Dunia) i debugged 8h straight yesterday on 3 dif PC from different era,core,ipc ssd and drivers Windows 10 2004 fresh install
Only thing that helped but didn't fix the massive stuttery mess was GPU buffer 1 aka low latency and adaptive v-sync while switching the monitor hz to 60 even with that the engine of the game still had render issues when loading new areas causing those so called frame timespikes this is confirmed by pcgamer and digital foundry but wierdly enough on PS4 pro despite 30 fps it has a consistent frametime and its smooth

Not intrested in argue with you about this. If you read my post i never had massive stutteri. I got
some save stutter on my U-play
copy, not on Steam. And yeah i’ve played the game on several pc’s. These games isn’ CS. You adjust the framerate to the power of your PC/Gpu. And to say the game isn’ worth 1 £ is just silly.

Not argue its a fantastic game if you buy it on consoles it has a great framepacing there but on PC the port its a mess with stutters and streaming issues no matter what PC/settings/version you use and they admit that in their blog post and they can't do anything to fix because was a bit rushed on PC but some of the "users" like yourself prefers to play it like that with lag and those problems for me personally are a deal breaker but you accept it the way it is :)

Battlefield 5 = 4k over 60 FPS no issue

Red Dead 2 4k using xbox one x settings (hardware unboxed) 60+ no issues
Forza Horizon 4 4k using 4x MSAA on top of that 60+ FPS no issues
Monster Hunter World 4k with DLSS 60+ FPS no issues
GTA V 4k custom settings = 100+ FPS no issues
Gears 5 = no issues
Shadow Of The Tomb Raider 4k custom settings 4k = 60+ no issue

Far Cry 5 = stutter fest no matter what settings or resolution are used when loading new areas are with hitching and uneaven frametimes despite what fraps says frametimes are very important for the gameplay experience so i prefer to play it on PS4 PRO and its a shame that developers don't really care about the PC platform .

Its good you mentioned it doesnt stutter on steam version, i suspect its where the savefiles and HOW the savefiles are stored when it autosaves.

There are Steam users complain about this also (saving stutter/Ubisoft/Steam forums), but i also suspect there is something with the saving files/system, On my U-play copy the saving stutter increased over time with no stutter when i got the game at release (and now it saves so often compared to my Steam version). But my point is that not all players have this issue and it's funny one copy have it and the other not on the SAME Pc. And it's no stutter on the Dlc'c and Arcade (U-play version). Besides that the game runs perfect (90-100 frames in 3440x1440p and 99/ 100% "stable" if i lock it to 60 frames (Ultra settings).

What do you mean Digital Foundry and PCgamer said that the stutter was present in both version of the game as it uses the same DUNIA engine version
At least people won't noticed on 60hz screen as much they will think its just a FPS fluctuation when in reality its a stutter frame spike that ruins all the immersion in a videogame in my opinion ill take 30 FPS stable frametimes over 160 with random spikes made by an ancient video game engine more precise year 2012 with updated textures with no optimizations made for PC or any low level API to eliminate those rendering issues like for example Division 2 and Breakpoint runs superb on PC because they are using low level API like Vulkan and DX12.
