Far Cry 5 always night time bug

[PZ]

The problem is the game staying in perpetual night time making it difficult to see in all instances, and almost impossible to see in other places. This is a problem that affects all platforms, but not everyone. No one is sure how one becomes affected, and the problem has been reported and admitted by UBI*bleep*, but no fix yet. The latest patch evidently did not address this issue.

I'll put the game away until a fix is found.

Weird, I captured an outpost and got daylight back again

There does not seem to be a common "fix", and I think it is random when the proper cycle comes back to normal.

Interestingly, UBI*bleep*'s last patch fixed the bug that made it difficult to do in game purchases, but they cannot find a fix for this night glitch. I don't know why they do not incorporate a location where you could sleep it off so to speak like the beds in FC2, or even simpler, hold a button to advance the time by 12 hours like in Origins. Seems like such a simple fix, but they are so bad at support they cannot do it.

I think screwing up someone's bank account is worse legally. Yeah, they could probably fix that, but since it applies to all platforms and game devs have to patch towards a specific OS version, they could end up breaking more things

They could, but that element of gameplay appears to be a feature of survival games most of the time I guess UBI*bleep* deleted that function from Dunia 2. Re-adding some code that used to w0#k will NOT necessarily be bug free

Well, UBI*bleep* finally released patch 1.05, today which fixes lots of things including the night glitch.

I'm now able to play regular day night cycles.

Is that what that 1.5GB was? I had to put it in offline mode last night to be able to play. Grabbed the update today at w0#k.

Yeah, that was part of it - here's the entire list:

Now I'd like to see Game+ as an option, especially if you can skip the mission progression foolishness - there is quite a bit of talk about it on the UBI*bleep* forums.

If you are going to post UBI*bleep* links, the censor breaks it

Anyway, the new update added a RPS. Yes, you read it right. Rocket Propelled Shovel

I know that you have been able to throw shovels and baseball bats and the likes. I suppose it gives a shovel-throw a significant boost.

[LowPolyOWG]

  Yes it does

remember I posted a YouTube link in response to Binnatics's comment on the wingsuit? The guy who uploaded the vid, BigMooney, has always been fond of throwing a shovel at people when playing Hitman. When he started with FC5 and found a shovel, he was delighted and has been using it as his preferred weapon ever since
