New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on January 29, 2022) follows:
It looks like Ubisoft was jealous of Electronic Arts’ FIFA 22 and wanted to make a game that competes with the title when it comes to the number of bugs. Fortunately, they hit jackpot with the release of Far Cry 6.
Launched in October of 2021, the game is developed by Ubisoft Montreal and was soon riddled with several issues that made it completely unplayable.
Recently players complained that they were stuck in a dog cage/kennel and were unable to escape. And now, Far Cry 6 players are reporting (1,2,3) that the game is spawning them in the middle of the ocean.
While this might sound really funny at first, it looks like the bug is making it impossible for those affected to play the game at all since they are stuck in a death loop underwater.
They added that the world map is accessible but they are unable to fast travel since the option is greyed out. Some say they tried inviting their friends over but the game spawns them in the ocean as well.
Restarting and reinstalling the game seems to make no difference either. Many are wondering what they can do to fix the issue so they can continue playing.
Fortunately, it looks like Ubisoft is aware of the issue where Far Cry 6 players are spawning in the ocean and that it is currently under investigation.
However, they did not share any ETA on when it will be fixed. When they do, we will update this space so stay tuned.
Update 1 (February 11)
05:00 pm (IST): Ubisoft Support Staff has confirmed that the development team will deploy a fix for this issue in a future update. However, there is no ETA available for the same.
