@red_demon10 Seems like they are taking a now lazy approach to the game and it will be a lot less serious. The direction and quality of Ubisoft games is going down the drain and I have lost all hope that this game will be any good. Especially now that I see the new logo. Which looks like it was made by someone who is still in elementary school. The original was much better, especially the font. Now its just a lazy paint brush with some aerial font. Dumb and boring just like the game will now most likely be.

Not sure how this is still not fixed yet. Imagine if steam had this issue. People would flip, but I'm sure it wouldn't take Valve over a year to fix! This is just terrible how it is still not working. Not sure why Ubisoft locked the original thread either on this issue. Even with clean install of UC I still have this issue with achievements not showing on screen. I do however get the notification for challenges.

Ubisoft, seriously? Get it together. A core part of your launcher is not working and should no way take this long to fix.

I will go over some quick points about what I didnt like in order to make this not so long of a post.

As soon as the the intro video finished and you can control your character for the very first time I was completely stuck. Couldnt move. I had to reload save for it to work. Others experienced same issue as well and posted in player support section. So I was experiencing terrible bugs directly from the start. Which immediately brought down the experience. The amount of bugs that I encountered going forward in game was just bad.

The game's world feels so empty. There is absolutely no life in it. NPC's that are in the world make it feel worse. Seeing someone spray paint the same thing on the same wall over and over again is pretty sad. Thats just one example. You know, RDR2 you can actually see life in cities and when they are building something those structures actually get built. Not sure why ubisoft continues to make such crap open worlds void of life. There is always just you, your allies and the enemy in the world.Thats it. And some random animals that were pointless to kill. Oh, and whats with all the damn pointless fishing spots? Is this bass masters game or fishing simulator?

The graphics were ok but things at a distance look terrible. Especially the amount of pop ins and draw distance was garbage. Parts of the map where you are in deep parts of the jungle game looks great but once you out in the open with things being further in distance the experience goes out the window. I also find that AMD sponsored titles such as this have terrible AA. I really do not like the cheap tools AMD offers devs as it makes the quality of game poor. AMD should stop with these open source poor man method of tools. It really makes the games look bad.

Gameplay was fine and that really hasnt changed much at all in the series. New game, different weapons, but same feel. Character customization was bad though. A lot of the gear and I mean a lot were totally useless. Could of done a much better job there. The supremo was a bad change and def could of done without. I didnt like it at all. There was no balance there either as you had super weapons but enemy had basic things. Same thing with resolvers. Way OP when other things like GL and pipe bombs got nerfed. Im sorry but a rocket should bring down a heli in a shot or 2. You shouldnt need add ons to take them down easier. Pointless upgrade system.

The spawn system was terrible. I was inside a restricted zone and was inside a building. It was empty. I jumped out a window but than immediately turned around to jump back in and than there was a whole army inside that just popped in. There is also a huge thread on this as well. Very poorly done.

The insurgency mode to me is pointless. I already captured bases, checkpoints, destroyed AA, and acquired plenty of pointless gear. Why would I want to take them over and over again for more pointless gear? The add ons were meh and I can see why they were free. Nothing much going on inside their heads at all. I liked the missions with Trejo, Rambo, and stranger things way more. Those were actually good and was were the game actually felt fun to play.

The story overall was ok. Nothing special and seems Ubisoft took a generic safe dicatator plot approach. Towards the end where you need to meet Juan it gave a warning about continuing the story as your actions would effect the outcome. However, you made no decisions at all and story just continued without your input. So there was only one ending. Pointless to even have a warning than. Plus, Juan is a terrible person and without spoiling anything story related you couldnt have a choice to do anything about his actions. Or why he was still able to do what he did. Really dumb.

With that said this game was just ok but def the worst FC game to date. Felt like it was not a AAA game. Well, lets be honest. It wasnt. Ubisoft has not evolved anything for the better in the series and its the same old stuff. I am glad I waited for sale which i got the game half off. I can see why they are now open to a buyout before there stocks really take a hit and the company loses a lot of value. These games are releasing in worse shape and not getting any better. Way too many studios working on the game internally and its making these games a complete mess.

Hello there @SiKiTtOyA, @Lupine-7 & @InfinityGhostSP!

For now, we can confirm that it is working as intended that no notification pops up when a core challenge / achievement has been obtained.

What? How can no notification be working as intended? Than why is there even an option to show notifications for achievements in settings (SS below) if it is intended to not pop up? This makes absolutely no sense and a terrible way to justify why this not working.

If thats the case than have the team remove this option all together as it doesnt work for any game I have played in the last year or so. So it really is pointless. But I wont hold my breathe on that being fixed either.

@ubi-borealis I was be facetious. The issue with achievements not showing should be fixed!!

@shadowgarvin in all fairness dawn of ragnorak will be the size of an entire new game. 40+ hour story as well as some other story arcs like valkyrie trials story, exploration, world events, etc this will be at the very least a 100+ hour dlc. so while I understand your sentiment I think the $40 will keep you entertained for a long time

The problem is this. Ragnarok still needs Valhalla base game installed in order to be played. Its also marked as DLC on both Ubisoft's and EG stores. So it is not an expansion. If it was a stand alone game that would be completely different but it is not.

They have also gone on and removed gold editions from both stores which is really bad as well.

@thenorfolkian I bought the gold edition toward the end of last year. So it was over a year since game came out and thought it was safe to buy. This is first time Ubisoft has ever pulled this sort of thing where its Gold Pass did not include upcoming DLC. I have played all FC games and AC games. Its not the price that bothers me. Its the shady marketing and the way the consumer has been mislead.

So yes, I will just wait even longer now. Or I may not buy another Ubisoft game in the future from them at all.

@laterejeugd The exclamation marks means that it was recently unlocked and not yet viewed. As soon as you click on the missions and view them the exclamation marks will go away. Same thing happens to newly acquired gear in your arsenal. Once you unlock or obtain a new item you will get an exclamation mark and it will stay there until you view it. This will also happen to newly discovered places on your map until viewed. Fishing spots, treasures, Bases, etc.

Just started playing game and dogs walking with soldiers will not attack. When you kill the soldier the dog just runs in diagonal lines. Which is really dumb. I killed about 4 soldiers with dogs so far and have not been attacked yet. They just run weird and some just stop and bark at nothing. Even when in restricted areas the dogs do nothing. I am playing on action mode.

The other FC games dogs were the worst. Able to sense you and get to you very quickly. This game they seem to ignore you all together. So far the AI in this game seems to be way worse than the others in series and its really disappointing so far.

As soon as the cut scene ends and you take control of your character for the first time on the rooftop I could not move. I could look around but couldnt do anything else. I am using M+KB. I could minimize the mission tracker, and get to main menu with everything working fine but no character movement. Than a soldier caught up to me and killed me. After i died and game loaded I could finally move.

I tried a new game again and same thing. Couldnt move at all. I didn't wait for death this time so I just reloaded checkpoint. I was than able to move again. All keys are bound and no exclamation marks on anything in control options.

Not sure if this is a bug but very odd that I couldnt move at start of game. I have been playing now for an hour and all seems fine. Just reporting it here in case anyone is having same issue.

@ubi-orion Its ok. I just uninstalled game after partly finishing DLC add ons. Overall I did not like this far cry game and was bored most of the time, but still chugged along and played it. IMO it was worst in series so far. The amount of bugs and how empty the world is really brings down the open world game play. The story was ok but was just generic dictator type plot. It was just an OK game but the series has not evolved for the better. Thanks for the help though!

@ubi-froggard It really shouldn't matter what is mapped there. KB or M. It should work 100% for both. Especially since mouse is the default control but doesnt respond. I have those keys already mapped and the way the control scheme is isnt that good. As some keys can be used for multiple controls while others cant. I already have Q & E mapped and tried those and it wouldnt let me as it would overwrite something else for foot controls. Q controls my weapon wheel and E i use to bring up Inventory screen.

@ubi-gizmo One of those threads is made by me, yes.

@ubi-froggard I hope its temporary and fixed soon. As the mouse being so unresponsive is not good. Very awkward having to use the number keys.

Just to add. I added the secondary controls for pitch and yaw to my number keys. The controls than worked 100%. Everything felt fine. Pitch and Yaw was working and responsive. So the controls for controlling pitch and yaw are definitely broken when using the mouse and it is not responsive at all.

This should def be looked into on why the mouse controls are so bad for pitch and yaw.

@ubisushivamp There has been multiple threads on this issue and seems like forum staff and development team are not in proper communication on the issue. Achievements have not worked for over a year. Which Ubisoft staff said that it was working as intended which is not correct. As seen in this thread I made a week ago due to another huge thread of complaints being locked. Which I also linked below. https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/150059/achievement-notification-is-still-not-working/2?lang=en-US

https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/103471/ubisoft-connect-achievements-challenges-notifications-still-not-popping-up-in-game?lang=en-US&page=1

@ubi-gizmo I feel the dev team made the helicopter controls so bad due to how easy they were in FC5 and you could literally destroy everything no problem. You could obliterate a base and take it over with ease without even getting out. The controls were super responsive and great all around for that one. Now in FC6 you cant even move. Its just terrible.

If this was done on purpose to make game harder it was def not the right choice, nor the proper one. Its like the helicopters are missing a rear rotor all together as well as other critical traits.

Please forward this to the team as well:

@ubi-borealis I was be facetious. The issue with achievements not showing should be fixed!!
