I wasted the past 2 days downloading/installing FarCry6 - just to find that the program fails to start instead showing this error: "A GPU with required Direct3D 12 Feature Level support wasn't found..."
I am using a GTX 1050 and the "Direct3D feature level" reported in the respective NVIDIA driver is; 12_1
So this is clearly a bug in the Far Cry 6. Is there a bugfix from Ubisoft or where to I get a refund for this broken piece of garbage?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

@mcdibbler game is not broken
your GPU = below . really close to the minimum system requirements
sorry but yes a GTX 960 4 gig is faster and a 4 gig GTX 960 is the minimum supported GPU
see https://www.gpucheck.com/compare/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-vs-nvidia-geforce-gtx-960/intel-core-i7-8700k-3-70ghz-vs-intel-core-i7-4790k-4-00ghz/: (https://gpucheck.com/compare/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-vs-nvidia-geforce-gtx-960/intel-core-i7-8700k-3-70ghz-vs-intel-core-i7-4790k-4-00ghz)
also i would not ever suggest playing FAR CRY 6 on a low end card .. your not gonna have a good time
get at least GTX 1060 6 gig card ..or better if you want at least 30 - 40 FPS
you can see the benchmarks on many sites

note none of them show a GTX 1050 card as it's too weak of a GPU to run the game with a playable frame rate
it will be even worse if your GTX 1050 is a laptop gpu (as yes they are clocked lower )
so sorry man looks like you need a better graphics card to run the game or try a clean install of your video Drivers
but i would not expect great results on a gtx 1050
60 fps <
Target 60 fps with high settings minimum.
If your card is weak and you can't afford a better card today........try Cloud Gaming.
(Only without hourly payment)
Sad that Ubisoft has no its own Cloud Service.
