The High Tides DLC came out today (at least on PC, don't know about the consoles, but I assume there as well, unless it came out weeks ago there lol) which adds two new CO-OP missions and 4 new CO-OP only (at least that's what the Steam page says) skins.

I have tried to finish this game but I was continually getting lock ups after failing a mission. Had to quit the game using the task manager and when restarting the game it was a lottery as to the location the game would load to.

Had to disable SLI just to get the game to play without crashing. Just became too frustrating for me.

Like Colin said, I did get to the stage in the helicopter but was shot out of the air by rocket launchers that I couldn't even see.

  • 2 weeks later...

I'm sad I beat the game a while ago. I loved it. But now that there is no "story" to really explore, I have lost interest in the game.

This. I want to know if more story-based / "new island" type DLC will be released before I trade it in, been hanging onto it with hopes for a while.

Far Cry 3 adding optional outpost respawns, Master difficulty

"The definition of insanity," Ubisoft made a point of having Far Cry 3 antagonist Vaas declare in trailers, "is doing the exact same ****ing thing over and over again, expecting sh-t to change." If you like to get a little crazy, though, Ubi is working on an option to reset all outposts, letting you retake them and retake them to your heart's content. A new, harder 'Master' difficulty level is coming too, along with new multiplayer and map-making features.

Ubisoft detailed a variety of new features in a forum post, not offering any specific time or even timeline, but saying they'll come in "upcoming patches."

If you want to reset outposts, Far Cry 3 will have a simple option in the Gameplay menu to make it so. They'll be refilled with enemies, and you'll need to retake them to get any incomplete side-missions and quests back. You can shake up your approach, try new things, but ultimately you'll still be conquering outposts and Vaas will be proven right, right? Right. Right on.

As for Master difficulty, Ubi offers no specific details, but says, "Seasoned veterans will find themselves challenged by more aggressive wildlife, tougher pirates, and more deadly privateers."

It's also working on a map testing system, improved custom map feedback options, ways to find all maps from a particular author, disabling the idle kick time on custom maps, and more.

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
