Ghost Recon - Yikes! (AI, console, rock, Kiss)

[Tek_Freek]

This game has crashed 5 times in the last few days. 3 times today. PS4.

Fun game, but a buggy damn thing.

[Natural510]

So it’s even worse than a typical Ubisoft game? Usually after the first year or so they have most of their bugs worked out.

[Tek_Freek]

Apparently not for this one. It has been stable today. I know. Saying that is the kiss of death.

Damn fun game!!!

Love the drone with explosives. Took out a mortar and a heavy gun emplacement when retrieving a medical truck. Drove the Unidad nuts!

Today it p1ssed me off.

Rescued the woman's brother. Used C4 to blast open a door. Everyone in area was okay. He died. Screw it. I'll wait until I calm down to play again.

Hsn't been crashing, though.

Now it stops allowing the drone to be deployed. A minute ago it did. Now it doesn't. I have to return to the main menu and resume the game to get it back. And lose everything I was doing. Practice.

I did get the brother. Approached it in an entirely different way. I've learned to love the vehicles with a Gatling gun and windows they can shoot out of.

Worse and worse and worse. The longer I play this game the sh1ttier it is.

Press up hatcheck for the drone. Nothing

Press left hatcheck for grenades, mines, etc. Nothing.

Both random, but usually in the middle of a firefight or an important setup.

The woman who is supposed to follow me when saving her brother (yeah, thought I had it, but) either embeds in a rock or refuses to follow me, which negates the effort and fails the mission.

A seriously crap game. Don't spend your hard earned cash on this one.

And three "soldiers" that follow me around like puppies will stand there while I get killed and not take a shot.

[Tek_Freek]

The puppies stood around again. Apparently, "Fire, fire, fire!" is a foreign language to these "soldiers".

And the idiot woman won't follow me when the icon says lead.

Whoever programmed this game should be fired and have to pay back three years salary.

[Tek_Freek]

I do love blowing up a couple of vehicles and a bunch of bad guys with the drone.

Thing is that even with all the irritations it's still fun to play.

I started the attack to get the brother back at a different location. His sister followed this time. Got it done.

For whatever reason mine has not been crashing for the last week.

It has got to be a bad port to that console. I've read lots of other complaints. I've been playing FC5 and Wildlands on the PC, Windows 10 Pro to be specific, and have not had issues with all graphics settings set as high as they go.

Although, the unhelpful friendly AI in Wildlands is not platform specific. One of the things I LOVED about FC5; your Guns For Hire would follow you around and stay stealthy as long as you did. If the enemy blew your cover they would immediately go all bodyguard and kill everyone without you having to pull up an order wheel while under fire and specifically order them to.

The crashing has abated after the update that came out recently. Almost 18gb.

I've been playing the DLC content Fallen Ghost and Ghost Mode. I was doing great in Ghost Mode, but clipped something while landing a copter. I don't even know what it hit! But - Back to square one - if you die in Ghost Mode you start from scratch. Takes a different way of playing.

Sometimes the team shoots when I don't want them to. Usually when driving. An enemy will recognize us or take a shot and all hell breaks loose. Doesn't matter if I'm wanting to avoid it.
