New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on January 12, 2022) follows:
Released in October of 2021, Far Cry 6 is the latest title in the long-running video game series. While the gameplay is similar to its previous versions, Far Cry 6 puts players in an urban environment making it more challenging and fun.
However, the Ubisoft Toronto developed game was criticized because soon after its release, several issues surfaced some of which made the game completely unplayable.
Some examples of the same are the game crashing when loading fast travel and the black screen issue on Xbox.
While Ubisoft usually fixes most of these bugs, new ones surface from time to time, thanks to the frequent updates and the online nature of the game.
Having said that, Far Cry 6 players are now reporting that they are stuck in a dog cage/kennel and are unable to escape when playing the ‘Man’s Best Enemy’ mission.
Many say that they cannot fast travel and tried to reload their save game but to no avail. Some say that the ‘Withdraw from Operation’ option does not help either. Dying makes no difference since the game spawns the player in the same spot.
Fortunately, Ubisoft has acknowledged the bug and said that it is currently under investigation.
However, they did not say or share any ETA on when it will be fixed, which means Far Cry 6 players might have to stay stuck in the kennel for some time.
They also shared a workaround that seems to be helping some. Keep in mind that you will need someone to join you in a coop session if you want to get out.
With some reports dating back to November, we wonder why Ubisoft is taking so long to fix the issue. We hope they release a patch in the coming days so players can continue exploring the beautiful world of Far Cry 6.
When they do, we will let you know so make sure you stay tuned for updates.
