So, it's been roughly two days since release and there is no coop available no matter how hard you try and the mouse acceleration/stuttering is some of the worst I have experienced since Black Ops 2.

Let this be a lesson to myself to never buy another ubi-soft product

A patch is coming to remove mouse acceleration. This was already confirmed by ubi on their twitter. I would provide a link but I'm doing homework and can't be bothered to dig around for it.

Wait. I have an option in the menus that removes mouse acceleration. And there are solutions in internet to stuttering.

The Fix

Go to Nvidia Control panel and set Power management mode to use prefer maximum performance and changemaximum pre rendered frames to 3.

Boom. Stuttering gone, and i mean it. It's like getting a G SYNC monitor. Not a single hiccup. Not when driving, Not when walking in a town, not when fighting. And if it does slow down it's because my fps is genuinely going down because of the intensity of the scene. Fps average is 67 but rarely if ever does it drop lower than 55. This fixed the weird mouse stutter too. It's a whole new game now. None of the CPU cores EVER reach 100% anymore

BIG UPDATE

IF THE ABOVE DOES NOT WORK, TRY THIS IN ADDITION TO IT:

Open the GamerProfile.xml file with Notepad Find GPUMaxBufferedFrames="0" and change to GPUMaxBufferedFrames="1"

and also DisableLoadingMip0 ="1". You don't have to do this to eliminate the stuttering but it wont eliminate completely, there will be slight micro stutter to the well trained eye. try it.

then you probably aren't familiar with how an FPS game should feel because if you did, you would know that option regardless if on or off there is some awkwardness and inconsistencies with the mouse movements

Seems okay to me. The FoV works fine. I don't see much stuttering either. The game is quite playable to me. Mouse movements seem okay as well.

FoV: Max and Min.....

Have you tried this

To fully disable it: find the "GamerProfile.xml" located in My Games/Far Cry 4, find the lines "Smoothness="1"" and "Smoothness_Ironsight="1"" and change the "1"s to "0".

I don't think that makes it bad honestly; RE games are about restrictive controls. Mouse would make the protagonist too OP at taking out zombies.

I am having very little in the way of performance issues with this game. Ultra settings @ 1080, HBAO+ and SMAA

Running a Phenom II X6 1100T @ 4.0GHz, MSI GTX770 (2GB), and 16GB ram,

I get the occasional framerate hitch, but it is mostly lighting related as far as I can tell. Scenes with crazy amount of god rays will drop it for a few secs, but it seems to bounce right back.

So the reason you couldn't use a mouse in the menus was...? Also, what's the reason they've included mouse controls in a number of other RE games (Including the RE4 HD remake)?

DMC3 still takes the king of bad ports I think. Everytime I see someone on my friends list getting suckered into purchasing it because of a sale I just start to feel really bad that they paid for it.

Day 1 Dark Souls wasn't even that bad. It still worked, albeit at a locked 30 FPS and 720p rendering resolution.

Day 1 GTA IV was a whole other level of terrible. To this day it still runs like shit.

This game has a random frame drops though, and there is nothing you can do about it. Needs fixing. Does not matter if you can run the game at >60FPS and lock it to 30 it will still stutter.

I don't know why these AAA developers insist on having mouse acceleration in their PC ports, and if that wasn't bad enough, disabling mouse acceleration often just turns it down, it doesn't actually "disable it".

if you max out your fov and play coop while your partner drives you get insane fov glitches such as HYPERSPACE MODE until you zoom in your gun which seems to reset it.

i dont assume , cause it can make an ass out of you and me ass-u-me see. but with you agreeing the FOV is all messed up, it looks like you fall directly into the pirate camp.

Look, if you buy all your games, more power to you. if you actually are pirate scum, then hang your head in shame.....you are ruining gaming

Did you even read your own thread? FOV is messed up and FOV slider availability are two completely different things.

you should consider investing in a reading program with that large salary of yours.

The first pirate release did not have an FOV slider.... the legit copies do but it still has problems as its been shown here. Liquid is correct here, the slider has no information about what you are actually doing to the FOV.

I don't doubt you're getting the glitches. I saw the same thing during the opening sequences of the game (the getaway in the vehicle). I just haven't seen the vehicle and FoV glitches since. Then again I'm not too far in the game yet. I've liberated just two towers and a few outposts so far.

Those screenshots I posted had Max and Min FoVs.

Edit:

Also, I noticed the occasional shudder during fast travel in that TotalBiscuit YT video. I get the same thing in some areas (although not all areas are prone to it). It doesn't seem to happen during gunfights and attack sequences. So, that's a big relief.

If the stuttering occurred during fights, I'd be pissed off as well.

Wow! I remember watching Azurite play another PC port of Street Fighter II and how awful that looked but... wow, even Acclaim was trying better with the PC ports of the older Mortal Kombat games.
