New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on October 27, 2021) follows:
Far Cry 6 is the latest installment in the beloved Ubisoft franchise and is set on a fictional island named Yara. Heavily inspired by Cuba, the territory is under the control of the dictator called Antón Castillo.
The game has been praised by many with reviewers saying it’s visually stunning, thanks to Ubisoft’s Dunia 2 Engine. Far Cry 6 gives the game a fresh outlook by letting players discover the urban environments of Yara.
Having said that, Far Cry 6 has had a shaky start. Right after its launch on October 7, players had to face many issues such as the black screen issue on Xbox with others complaining that Ubisoft did not honor the medium pack pre-order bonus.
Now, many Far Cry 6 players are saying that the latest update is causing the game to crash. The crashes seem to be happening randomly, with some saying that the game crashes right after the splash screen while others say it happens when they are in the main menu.
Some players say that the update is causing files to corrupt and that they are able to fix it by verifying game files.
And the troubles don’t seem to end. Far Cry 6 players are getting stuck on a black screen when playing the Sundown mission. The only way to play the game after being stuck is to close and restart it.
But after restarting, the objective marker for the mission disappears. This is really frustrating since it is preventing players from progressing. Some say they tried verifying their game files but it isn’t helping either.
In case you are experiencing the same issue, going back to the Montero farm after restarting the game seems to be triggering the cutscene for some.
