'It's a huge range of stuff, much more than we ever had in Far Cry 4. In total, it's about 7,000 objects,' says Clark Davies, the map editor's lead designer.
You can make single-player adventures, co-op maps and PvP maps and then share them with the community.
This is a terrific looking system and a fantastic idea. It essentially breathes a great deal of longevity into a (mostly) single-player game, and gives players tons of fun stuff to play with as creators or just gamers playing other peoples' creations. I can't wait to tinker with this, honestly. Black Flag assets means we could see some pretty crazy Far Cry pirate action. With Yetis.
So not only will this make Far Cry 5 PvP a whole lot more robust, the map editor will essentially let you create your own single-player games and make them about as wacky as you want.
Ubisoft is actually integrating this into the main game's campaign. You can play Far Cry Arcade at any arcade machine in Hope County, MT:
Walk up to an arcade machine in a bar, for example, and you can jump straight into Far Cry Arcade, check out the latest user-created levels (which will be curated by the developers), and start playing. You’ll visit these worlds as the same custom deputy you play in the campaign, and any experience points, perks, or money you earn while playing will cross over into the campaign when you’re done. (And no, that doesn’t mean you can just create a “level” filled with cash and make yourself rich.)
You can read more about the map editor, including some developer made maps, in Ubisoft's blog post.
Also, while the blog post doesn't list it I've heard that there may even be Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon assets included in the map editor. I've reached out to Ubisoft to see if that's the case and will update this post accordingly.
Far Cry 5 launches on March 27th on PC, Xbox One and PS4. Far Cry Arcade is included at launch across all three platforms.
Here's the announcement trailer:

Notes
|
Disable depth of field[edit]
- This only disables depth of field on background and when not aiming.
- This enhances antialiasing on forests and objects that are near, stabilizes the frame rate fluctuation, fixes the low-res textures on the background and can give a huge FPS boost in open view areas, for example, on the top of a tower.
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed]
|
Disable HDR[edit]
- Disabling HDR improves performance.
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed]
|
Disable ambient occlusion[edit]
- Ambient occlusion can't be disabled completely through the in-game settings when playing in DirectX 11, only switched to various techniques available (SSAO, HBAO, HDAO).
- Use of SSAO makes MSAA useless because the way it's implemented[4]
Edit GamerProfile.xml[citation needed]
Notes
|
Disable motion blur[edit]
- Disabling also helps to reduce input lag.
- Even if motion blur is handled by PostFX setting, completely disabling PostFX doesn't seem to work. It can be disabled with
<post>
in configuration file but game seems to remove it with every launch.

Issues unresolved[edit]
Crash after first cutscene and random crashing[edit]
- Crashes can randomly happen in all parts of the game.[12]
- Crashes are more frequent after first -unskippable- cutscene.[13]
Switch to DirectX 9[14] Changing from DirectX 11 to 9 in the video settings may solve this problem. |
Disable any sort of forced AA[14] |
Nvidia GeForce 500-series cards[15] Raising your GPU Core Voltage by 25/50 mV may fix crashes. For step-by-step instructions see reference |
Textures and artifacting[edit]
Artifact blocks appear on screen.
Random lights appear.
Escaping to menu and returning and geometry has failed to load correctly.
Stretched, hollow blocks of the ground appearing randomly. Sometimes fixed by changing to DirectX 9 or going offline in Uplay.
Issues fixed[edit]
Change UI language[edit]
- For some reason Far Cry 3 will sometimes have a (poorly) translated interface.
Set language in registry[citation needed]
|
Microstutter[edit]
- These forms of V-Sync can reduce micro-stuttering.[16][17]
Adaptive and dynamic V-sync[citation needed]

Multi-GPU crash[edit]
- If your game freezes and crashes when entering a saved game, you must disable the Post FX option.

Game stuck on first skill tree[edit]
Select the takedown skill by double-clicking on it, then select another skill[18] |
Parachute will not open[edit]
Game reports wrong button for opening parachute when jumping with wing-suit. There seems to be a link between the Crouch and Switch seat keybindings. Make sure that these actions are bound to the same key.[19]
Multiplayer weapons will not level up[edit]
- Weapons earn EXP and level up during matches, but do no retain EXP post-game; weapons stay at level 1 indefinitely.
Copy the save file to alternate path[citation needed]
|
Installation issues[edit]
When using a C: drive with limited space such as an SSD, the game will not install onto a secondary drive even if you have sufficient free space.
